Adherence to W3C Standards

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is a global organization dedicated to developing standards for the World Wide Web. These standards dictate how web pages are structured and how they should function, facilitating effective communication between computers.

DIDx's technology, including our Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credential system, strictly adheres to W3C’s guidelines:

Verifiable Credentials Data Model v1.1
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0

On July 19, 2022, W3C declared Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 as an official Web standard. These specifications hold significance as they provide a secure and decentralized method for storing digital identities and credentials. By employing these standards, we pave the way for a more secure and privacy-focused internet, simplifying the process of sharing verifiable credentials across various systems and organizations.

W3C was established in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web. Their mission is "to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing common protocols that promote its evolution and ensure its interoperability."
