Setup DID Registrar

Setting up cheqd DID Registrar

This page describes how to use and set up the cheqd DID Registrar software package.

If you do not want to install anything and just want to test it using our testnet, you can load the REST API endpoint for registrar in your browser.

You should run your own registrar to perform DID Operations on the Mainnet.
