Is Web5 just a repackaged SSI (cheqd.io/ssi/web5)? 🧐

👇
With @Jack Dorsey’s announcement of #Web5 right after @VitalikButerin’s introduction of the soulbound tokens (#SBTs), the decentralised web has been buzzing and making waves in the mainstream media.

👇
Although these are two separate announcements, both have driven considerable attention to the decentralised #digitalidentity technology – self-sovereign identity, which, we argue, has been repackaged as Web5.

👇
Get an overview of what Web5 is and how it is different (or not) from #SSI here.

Another great feature of @fraser_again on @TechNative discussing why #NFTs & #SBTs aren’t the best solutions for digital identity. Read the thread 👇

technative.io/why-nfts-and-s…
From fraud through to #privacy issues, here are the top use cases that NFTs and SBTs fail to deliver on or would be better “augmented” by fit-for-purpose digital identity solutions, such as #SSI including #VCs.

👇
👉 Using #NFTs to access Discord servers 👈

Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (#DAO) have started issuing NFT’s as identity proofs to access private channels. This did not stop the NFT’s from being sold and often leaves the person in the channel.

We're taking cheqd to a galaxy far, far away. Way beyond the Cosmos.☄️ 🌌

👇
We never lost sight of what’s important, and that’s what you, our community, have to say. While playing lightsaber tennis with a few ideas, we thought we’d pitch it over to you.

We’re interested to know what token pairs you’d like to see next and where.

👇
Contributions will have a chance of getting a reward and we’re looking for genuine ideas that bring benefits to the community. An example would be a new pair on @osmosiszone or on another #DEX, this could be either @ethereum or @Cosmos.

We’re thrilled to launch the @veramolabs SDK for cheqd 🥳

cheqd.io/blog/how-weve-…

Our partners are now able to create and manage did:cheqd DIDs more easily, and for the first time on cheqd issue and verify #VerifiableCredentials (VCs) and Verifiable Presentation (VPs).

👇
Having a readily available and transferable set of tools will help speed up adoption!

We knew our partners were eager to know “when will I be able to use the cheqd ledger for identity?” and now we’re happy to say “go have a play right now!”. 🔥

👇
Following our research earlier in the year, we explored the development frameworks that our #SSI partners planned to utilise in future. The purpose of it was to determine a suitable toolset for our frens to get building on our network.

We're thrilled to share that we're live on the #UniversalResolver! 😃 🥳

The Universal Resolver is a tool run by Danube Tech that enables interoperability for #DIDs by providing search and resolution (access to the results) of DIDs across networks.

More 👇
It's directly related to the work that has been done by the @WebOfTrustInfo and @idworkshop communities around a Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure (#DPKI) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

👇
@WebOfTrustInfo @idworkshop Which support different “methods” for registering identifiers on decentralised systems such as the @Bitcoin blockchain, @Hyperledger, @ethereum, @IPFS, and others.

Following on the testnet upgrade earlier this month, we are delighted to announce that the mainnet upgrade has now been successfully completed! 😀 This important upgrade paves the foundation for:
✅ Secure on-ledger schemas
✅ Credential Definitions
✅ Full AnonCreds support on cheqd
✅ Fully referenceable documents with DIDs
⏳ Schema overlays and evidence schemes
⏳ Privacy-preserving revocation registry
🆔The upgrade brought ‘Resources’ to the cheqd ledger which are often required in tandem with W3C Verifiable Credentials, to provide supporting information or additional context to verifiers receiving Verifiable Presentations.
