Decentralized Identifier Core Registries v1.0

This repository contains a registry created by the W3C Decentralized Identifier Working Group (DID WG) for the purpose of enhancing DID ecosystem interoperability.

An Editor's Draft of this repository is available at https://w3c.github.io/did-spec-registries/.

Adding a DID Method to this Registry

In order to register a new DID method, you must add a JSON file to the ./methods directory.

Here is an example registration entry:

{
  // These fields are required
  "name": "example",
  "status": "registered",
  "specification": "https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/",
  // These fields are optional
  "contactName": "W3C Credentials Community Group",
  "contactEmail": "",
  "contactWebsite": "",
  "verifiableDataRegistry": "DID Specification"
}

Your Pull Request will be automatically validated, please ensure that all of the automated tests pass (no errors reported) or your submission will not be reviewed. Common reasons for failed validation includes invalidly formatted JSON files and missing mandatory fields. There will be a checklist that you are expected to complete and attest to its accuracy.

Adding Anything Else to this Registry

Use the standard fork, branch, and pull request workflow to propose changes to the registry. Please make branch names informative—by including the issue or bug number for example.

Editorial changes that improve the readability of the registry or correct spelling or grammatical mistakes are welcome.

Non-editorial changes MUST go through a review and approval process that is detailed in the registry.

Please read CONTRIBUTING.md, about licensing contributions.
