Refactoring the Web
summary
Claims that the web lacks an identity layer and that a Decentralized Web Platform (called Web 5 by TBD at Block) fixes it with three concrete parts: decentralized identifiers (W3C DIDs stored on chain only as strings, DID documents on IPFS), verifiable credentials (cryptographically signed, issuer → holder → verifier flow), and decentralized web nodes that host portable JSON objects (examples: Blue Sky, Spotify→Tidal migration, personal medical records). An open source identity wallet is under development to manage keys, credentials, and data access.
