Welcome to Web5

Welcome to Web5

In the current web we struggle to secure personal data with many accounts and passwords that are hard to remember. Web5 brings decentralised identity and data storage to applications thus making the web more decentralised.

Web5 is a decentralised platform that puts users in control of their data and identity.

Web5 SDK is an opensource project developed by TBD which can be installed in your projects through node package manager (npm).

How to install Web5 SDK

Web5 is composed of the following concepts in order to achieve decentralisation:

  1. Decentralised Identifiers (DID)

  2. Decentralised Web Nodes (DWN)

  3. Verifiable Credentials (VC)

  4. Decentralised Identifiers (DID) Documents

  5. Agents

  6. Protocols

  7. Sync

Future articles will focus on each concept and how it is implemented in code.
