That is the purpose of the did:scid method.

Why another DID Method?

  • self-certifying: …

  • location-independent: The did:scid is not tied to any particular location. It works on its own, without location

  • location-binding: A did:scid can be bound to a location (e.g. website, blockchain/ledger, file, etc.) but does not require a location-binding

Examples

NOTE: The first two sets of examples in this section are based on the verification metadata formats defined by the did:webvh and did:webs methods, both of which are web-based DID methods. While did:scid supports storing verification metadata on a web server, it is not strictly a web-based DID method because: a) it does not include any web location information in the DID itself (only in a did:scid URL parameter), and b) did:scid supports storing verification metadata in other locations, including blockchains, DHTs, and local storage in peer-to-peer usages.
