Discussion notes, key understandings, outstanding questions, observations, and, if appropriate to this discussion: action items, next steps:
Why Keri?
- simple, unified identity protocol usable across multiple domains
Problem with other solutions
- The Balkanization of identity and crypto
- Hyperledger Indy applies a number of architecture assumptions
- need Interoperability between blockchains
- You don't need a distributed ledger that is globally ordered
CBDC use case
- Enables a multiplicity of payment channels
CESR
- C = Composable, 3 representations (binary, text with logging), in memory) with lossless conversion
It was more of a storytelling and information sharing session. We talked about voting and CBDC implementations of KERI, ACDC, as well as how to extend things through adding compatibility with CESR.
