We will also look at what ArcBlock is doing to help make the use of decentralized identity a reality.

Decentralized Identity for Developers

ArcBlock is the first in the blockchain industry to make Decentralized Identity and blockchain easy. Leveraging ArcBlock's Forge Framework, they have created a complete end-to-end experience for developers allowing any DApp or service to leverage decentralized identity with just a few lines of code. Moreover, like Apple did with the iPhone, ArcBlock has also solved user experience challenges that enable end-users to leverage decentralized identity to manage their digital personas and assets easily.

To support these efforts, ArcBlock has created a developer ready W3C compliant DID that can replace identifiers such as an email address or username, and removes the need for 3rd parties to maintain digital identities on their servers. It’s rooted in blockchain, it's secure and uses distributed ledger technology to protect privacy and allow secure transactions.

Decentralized Identity for Users

ArcBlock also launched the ABT Wallet is first of its kind crypto wallet that is not only for crypto-assets but also a powerful and sophisticated DID key management system. The DID Wallet is critical to make DID technology accessible for consumers users. ABT Wallet is available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, or visit https://www.abtwallet.io to learn more.
