Polkadot DID Resolver Driver

[justraman]

Project Abstract

The Polkadot DID Resolver project aims to bridge the Polkadot ecosystem with the broader decentralized identity landscape by implementing a W3C-compliant DID driver. This driver will enable seamless resolution of Polkadot-based DIDs and enhance interoperability with other decentralized systems. By leveraging Polkadot’s identity pallet, the project will simplify access to on-chain identities without requiring specialized Substrate knowledge, making it accessible to a wider audience of developers and applications.
