did:ethr brings decentralized identifiers to Ethereum, the world’s second largest cryptocurrency network. Early contributors to the DID conversation, the folks behind did:ethr helped establish several innovations that significantly improve the cost-effectiveness and usability of crypto-currency-based identifiers. We speak with Oliver Terbu and Mircea Nestor, editors of the did:ethr specification to understand the motivations behind the method and get a peek into future plans.
