# DID-Linked Resources

**DID-Linked Resources** are digital files or data blobs that are permanently and verifiably linked to a specific `did:cheqd` identifier. Each resource is stored on the cheqd ledger and assigned a **UUID**, called the **Resource ID**, which acts as a unique, persistent reference.

Applications can retrieve these resources using either:

* A **fully-qualified Resource ID** (DID + `/resources/<UUID>`)
* Or a **DID URL** with query parameters like `resourceName` and `resourceType`

### Common Use Cases

DID-Linked Resources enable storage of a wide variety of DID-associated metadata, including:

* Trust Registry entries
* Status Lists (e.g. credential revocation)
* Logos and brand assets
* Governance and policy documents
* Credential Schemas and Definitions
