Hearing about cheqd for the first time? 🤔

Want to know more about what we are and what we do? 💡

Well, here are the details in a 🧵

👇 For starters, we're building commercial models and trusted data marketplaces using #selfsovereignidentity #SSI, to allow you to take control of your data and #identity. 🆔

Aloha, cheqmates!🍹 We’ve had another great week at cheqd, let’s quickly recap.

👇 📰 In the news 📰

cheqd have recently been mentioned in @TechBullion, ‘Understanding Decentralized Identities (#DIDs) and Why They Matter for Web 3.0 Mass Adoption’ 🥳

🎫 Ledger-agnostic AnonCreds in Utrecht with cheqd and @AnimoSolutions 🎫

We’d love to invite you to join us on 19 Sept in Utrecht as part of @WebOfTrustInfo pre-event to hear from @ankurb & @TimoGlastra!

eventbrite.co.uk/e/showcasing-a… Come and chat about the truly unique work we’re doing on ledger independence in #AriesFramework #JavaScript and the standardisation of #AnonCreds with the CTOs
@ankurb, cheqd and @TimoGlastra, Animo!

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.

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.

👇

What a week!

We’re proud to be listed on @LBank_Exchange.🥳

LBank is one of the leading crypto exchanges in the world. This adds another option for cheqmates to help us in the fight to get back full ownership and control of our data.

Partners can now create and manage did:cheqd #DIDs more easily, and for the first time on cheqd issue and verify Verifiable Credentials (#VCs) and Verifiable Presentation (#VPs)

Don’t forget to cheq out our latest blog for all the juicy details

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.

👇

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!”. 🔥

👇

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).

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

🚀 🚀 🚀

We're pleased to announce a successful upgrade of the @cheqd_io test network which was completed with our new Interactive Installer

This upgrade of our testnet (mainnet to follow) is the first step in bringing a huge amount more utility to the @cheqd_io network

🧵 The primary feature being introduced in this upgrade is our 'resources' module which enables users to anchor “resources” to the @cheqd_io network...

/1

Last month we demo'd wallet.cheqd.io at @idworkshop to show a non-custodial wallet, that can be recovered, where users can stake, delegate AND hold a #VerifiableCredential

Whilst we're expanding this we’ve #OpenSourced the repo...

github.com/cheqd/wallet

🧵 To build wallet.cheqd.io we forked the @lum_network wallet, an existing #Cosmos project.

We used this to test new identity/ledger functionality on our wallet

Need help monitoring the health and security of your @cosmos network?

Wondering how to manage roles and backup secrets?

We've got you...

Day 6 of our #OpenSource-athon - today we're sharing tools and methods we use to manage the @cheqd_io network

github.com/cheqd/infra

🧵 First up, @datadoghq, a tool that provides monitoring of servers, databases, tools, and services, through a SaaS-based data analytics platform.

You can think it like a task manager on your laptop

Whilst our co-founders are making waves; @fraser_again at #money2020 & @ankurb at @DcentralCon before uniting at #Consensus2022, the fun doesn't stop for the team

Day 5 of our #OpenSource-athon, with 5 useful APIs for @cosmos builders

🧮🔂🔐💸💰

github.com/cheqd/data-api

🧵 As #Cosmonauts know the @cosmossdk offers APIs for built-in modules using gRPC, REST & Tendermint RPC however we noticed a few that it can't provide, so we built them...

This collection of custom APIs can be deployed as a @Cloudflare Worker or compatible serverless platforms

We making it as easy as possible to join @cheqd_io as a validator or developer and start using the identity functionality of the network….

We're also eager to give back to @cosmos and beyond so we’ve #OpenSourced our approach to #infrastructure

🧵

github.com/cheqd/infra Our #infrastructure uses a blend of #Terraform #Terragrunt and @ansible to improve performance, speed up node setup and more

We’ll cover the benefits of each in our latest #OpenSourcing thread - Day 4 of documenting our OpenSource-athon

If you’re thinking of running your own #airdrop or community rewards programme and need a go to place for your community to retrieve their rewards, we've got you.

Day 3 of sharing what we've been #OpenSourcing @cheqd_io

github.com/cheqd/airdrop-… We’ve open sourced the community airdrop rewards site, and like what we shared yesterday, it is built using @Cloudflare Pages and designed it to be highly scalable.

Whys this?

👇👇

In the @cosmos ecosystem and need a faster way for developers and node operators to acquire #testnet tokens to test out and use the functionalities of your network?

Tired of the operational overhead of sending tokens?

We've got you...

🧵

github.com/cheqd/faucet-ui The latest repo we've #OpenSourced is a simple app we built for @cheqd_io

This is a self-serve site that allows users to enter their #testnet address and seamlessly request tokens so they can test out the @cheqd_io network's identity functionalities

testnet-faucet.cheqd.io

Day 2 of our #opensource -athon and another useful tool

@cheqd_io's cross-chain address convertor is able to automate the derivation of any chain address from the #cosmoshub address.

github.com/cheqd/cosmjs-c…

So, why is this useful?

🧵 There is an assumption in the @CosmosEcosystem that wallet addresses across different chains, such as, @cosmoshub, @osmosiszone and @cheqd_io, are all identical.

This is because they all look very similar.

However, each chain's wallet address is actually unique

We’re excited to share that the @cheqd_io DID resolver is now publicly available on our @github.

We’re big fans of #OpenSourcing all that we can, and this is an exciting opportunity to share our work!

github.com/cheqd/did-reso…

But what does this mean?

Read on 🧵 A #DID (#DecentralisedIdentifier) is a unique identifier that doesn't require a centralised registration authority because it is registered with a distributed ledger technology or other form of registry.

This is known as a Verifiable Data Registry.
