Identity Snap, developed by Tuum Technologies, is an open-source plugin that extends the functionality of MetaMask to include support for decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials (VCs). This transforms MetaMask into a DID wallet, allowing users to manage their digital identities in a secure and self-sovereign manner.
The core of the Identity Snap service is its ability to create, manage, and verify DIDs and VCs directly within the MetaMask interface. It supports multiple DID methods, including did:pkh, did:key, and did:hedera, giving users a range of options for creating and controlling their digital identities. Key features include the ability to resolve DIDs to their corresponding DID documents, create and save VCs, and generate verifiable presentations (VPs) for sharing with other parties.
Identity Snap's did:hedera method allows users to anchor their digital identities on the Hedera public ledger, taking advantage of its high throughput, low fees, and robust security. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a transparent and auditable record of all DID and VC events, ensuring the integrity and verifiability of the credentials.
