This talk introduces the principles of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and dives into building decentralised identity solutions using Substrate. We’ll explore the fundamentals of SSI and its significance. The session will be followed by a hands-on workshop where participants will create a simple Decentralised Identifier (DID) pallet, equipping them with practical skills to develop and deploy SSI functionalities on Substrate-powered blockchains.
This workshop will guide you through the core elements needed to implement DIDs, covering Substrate’s modular framework, Rust programming for pallets, and practical considerations for decentralised identity solutions. By the end, you’ll have a working foundation to create and expand SSI solutions using Substrate. This session is ideal for blockchain developers and anyone interested in the future of digital identity on decentralised platforms.
