What is sidetree?


Sidetree is a scalable architecture for building truly decentralized identifiers.


What are we looking at for the next 3-6 months?


We are looking at hardening and shipping v1!!!!!!!


January is looking like v1 final for the spec and reference (plus other implementations)


We have a couple items left to cover, and hoping to lock things down.


Sidetree is technically what's known as an "embarrassingly parallel" system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrassingly_parallel


There was lots of discussion, you covered how sidetree works, as well as did:ion, did:elem, and did:trustbloc…. We covered go and typescript integrations, gave a demo of did:elem, and discussed future work for sidetree that we are excited about.
