Atala PRISM DID

[IMPACT]

A web portal where one can acquire the DID of the Republic of Uzupis from anywhere in the world.

This proposal will encourage the further adoption of Cardano DID.

We strongly believe that self-sovereign identity (SSI) technology will positively impact many communities. Our goal is to start small by focusing on the adoption of DIDs in the Republic of Uzupis.

As SSI technology is very new, and we feel that building this portal is the best way to draw exposure to the Republic of Uzupis.

Užupis is the smallest district in Vilnius and is separated from the Old Town by the Vilnelė River. Formerly a troublesome place in the early 1990s, Užupis has grown into a beautiful neighbourhood of artists, intellectuals and entrepreneurs. On 1 April 1997, residents of Užupis decided to somewhat sarcastically declare independence. An independent republic has to have money, power, an anthem and constitution, and above all, a free spirit. You will find all of this in Užupis.

To be a citizen of Uzupis one needs to declare they are a citizen and what better way than to have a Cardano DID that is verifiable.

As with any project, there is a risk that not many people may warm up to the idea but I believe that it is a quirky idea well worth exploring.

[AUDITABILITY]

Every successful milestone can be tracked via the project website and my stakepool website

Success would be the hosting of workshops about SSI/DID/Atala PRISM in 6 months. And also the adoption of the DID. We will run the project first in Cardano testnet and then to the mainnet.

New one.
