Identity

In The Wired, your identity is yours — not issued by a platform and not revocable by one. It is a cryptographic key pair you hold, expressed as a Decentralized Identifier (DID).

Your DID works anywhere in The Wired. You can take it to a different space, a different server, or a different client. No one can take it from you.

Two forms

did:key — generated entirely from a cryptographic key. No server or domain required. Portable and self-contained, but cannot be rotated if the key is lost.

did:web — tied to a domain you control. More recoverable, and can advertise services (like your data store) through standard web infrastructure.

What it enables

Your DID signs the data you create, proving authorship. It controls access to your records, granting read or write permissions to others by their DID. It points to your data store so others can find and sync with you.

One identifier — ownership, verification, and discovery.
