Cardano’s Prism has transitioned into Hyperledger Identus, an open-source framework for decentralized identity applications.
IO Engineering and community developers maintain Identus, which supports products like Midnight, RealFi, and Lace.
Charles Hoskinson stresses that identity should enhance products, not turn users into a product themselves.
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced that Prism has become Hyperledger Identus, a decentralized identity framework. Hoskinson highlighted the importance of self-sovereign identity (SSI), where users control their own identity without being commodified by centralized entities.
Hyperledger Identus is an open-source identity framework under the Apache2 license. Cardano’s research wing, IO Engineering, is developing this identity framework with community contributions. It forms the backbone for key Cardano products like Midnight, RealFi, and Lace, which use it for their identity needs. Hoskinson said identity should improve the user experience without turning individuals into the product.
Hoskinson’s comment aligns with Cardano’s emphasis on decentralization. Frameworks like Identus are crucial for block…
