Tyronzil NPM | npm.io

Decentralized identity client powered by Zilliqa :zap:

For the management of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), tyronZIL implements the Tyron SSI Protocol, which includes the deployment of the user-owned DID-Smart-Contract. With Tyron, the user is in control of their Decentralized Identifier.

W3C DID-Method

The tyronZIL DID-Method is conformant with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 specification and the first DID-Method for the Zilliqa blockchain platform registered in the DID Specification Registries.

Problem summary

Identities on the internet remain centralized, mainly by identity providers such as Facebook, Google and PayPal. Thus, when people shop online and login with these accounts, they don't have enough control nor understanding of how their data is used and shared with third parties. Furthermore, decentralized applications are still difficult to grasp for most regular users, and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) can make the user experience much better while increasing privacy and security.

Tyron

Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) allows people to manage their digital identities, proving who they are without a middleman, by anchoring DIDs on blockchain platforms as a shared root of trust. However, most blockchains still can't provide decentralized identity at scale. By implementing the Tyron SSI Protocol, tyronZIL aims to solve this issue and enable user-controlled digital identities.

The word Tyron derives from the Greek turannos that means sovereign, and Tyron's purpose is to give people sovereignty over their data.
