MDIP v1.3.0

[macterra]

Abstract

The MDIP (Multi Dimensional Identity Protocol) DID method specification conforms to the requirements specified in the DID specification currently published by the W3C Credentials Community Group. For more information about DIDs and DID method specifications, please see the DID Primer.

The MDIP DID method (did:mdip) is designed to support a P2P identity layer with secure decentralized verifiable credentials. MDIP DIDs are used for agents (DID Documents containing a public key) and assets (DID Documents controlled by an Agent DID).

This open-source software is provided as-is with no guarantees. Please refer to our license for details.

Major changes and improvements in this release:

• new full featured Android App APK
• new Bitcoin Signet-Inscription registry
• dmail implemented in all graphical clients

This release is fully backward compatible with prior releases. There is no requirement to update from MDIP 1.2 unless the new features are desired. For additional information, please see the README files throughout the repository or visit our website at keychain.org.

Let us know if you're using MDIP. We welcome issues and PRs from the community.
