🆔Create DIDs and Identity Keys
Create Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and identity keys using cheqd's DID Method (did:cheqd).
A Decentralized Identifier "DID" is a globally unique identifier that does not require a centralized registration authority because it is registered with distributed ledger technology or other form of decentralized network.
What options do I have for creating DIDs on cheqd?
There are many different ways to create DIDs on cheqd, with options for easy integration (e.g. cheqd Studio) and more bespoke integrations (e.g. Credo, ACA-Py and Veramo). Below are a list of SDK options for creating cheqd DIDs.
