A New Beginning: Introducing x/Identity

changelog cover

We are excited to announce the (soft launch) of our latest module for our Cosmos Blockchain. Sonr is a self-sovereign data platform that enables developers to build user-centric, privacy-preserving applications, all secured by a Cosmos-powered blockchain.

Sonr utilizes DID documents, Webauthn, IPFS, and multi-party computation, to provide a fully decentralized mechanism for identity and crypto asset management. This allows developers to create user-friendly and secure applications while ensuring users maintain control of their data and assets.

The x/identity module results from the culmination of multiple existing elements in the Sonr component stack. By leveraging the default P2P nature, we were able to optimize our "Decentralized-Wallet-As-A-Service" significantly.

  • 180% Faster - Execution Time dropped on all tests from roughly 40s to >2s (huge news!!)

  • 150M+ Encryption Parameters - Secure IPFS Storage

  • Much better Web Support - Libp2p over gRPC, HTTP, and WebTransport

  • And most recently, BTC, ETH, and FileCoin Wallet Generation Support.
