Constructed with unified digital identities, Using IDX, all applications can access a shared, globally-available identity layer that consists of merged users identities. Constructed 100% on permissionless protocols, IDX makes it possible for users and their crucial information to flawlessly flow and interoperate throughout platforms, while giving users the ownership and control they require.
A unified digital footprint! Reference of each identity consists of a decentralized identifier (DID) which acts as a globally-unique ID and an identity index which tracks an identity's details. IDX permits designers to deploy identities in addition to develop, check out, update, and erase a range of metadata and info related to the identity, consisting of but not restricted to: Multiple user profiles for different contexts or applications, Portable social graphs, from followers to contacts and household, Links to numerous blockchain accounts from different protocols (Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polkadot, NEAR, Flow, etc)Hyperlinks to existing social accounts (Twitter, Github, Discord, Matrix, and so on)Hyperlinks to domain (DNS, ENS, Unstoppable, Handshake, and so on)All DIDs, identity indexes, and metadata are securely kept on Ceramic's permissionless document management network.
For instance you might lookup a user's profile based upon their DID, their Ethereum account, or their Twitter manage; or you might lookup a user's Filecoin account based on their Polkadot account. We are working with The Graph on indexing these identity structures which will open lots of brand-new opportunities in this world.
If you also require a method of keeping and managing user data, you have 3 primary alternatives. Use the IDX library to straight save documents on the Ceramic Network and add references to those documents in the user's index. For this choice, no additional software is needed; it works out of the box with IDX.Store data in alternative data storage systems such as Filecoin, IPFS, Sia, Arweave, Fabric, Orbit, DB, Secure Data Stores, or Ethereum agreements and use IDX to include references to this data in your user's index.
This is real no matter where the data resides (servers or decentralized networks) or which application initially produced the data. The identity index contains mappings to numerous data sources, Share data across applications and silos, As explained above, the crucial aspect of IDX that de-silos details, promotes interoperability, and makes it possible for user control is the identity index.
