DID (Decentralized Identity)

DID (Decentralized Identity) refers to identity systems that give individuals control over their digital identity without relying on centralized authorities like governments or corporations. DIDs use blockchain technology to create self-sovereign identities that users can manage directly. Domains play a crucial role in decentralized identity by serving as human-readable identifiers linked to blockchain addresses or identity credentials. A tokenized domain like alice.eth or bob.crypto can represent someone's decentralized identity, serving as their Web3 username while being cryptographically secured and user-controlled. This creates portable, censorship-free digital identity that works across different platforms and applications.
