W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of globally unique identifier designed to enable verifiable, decentralised digital identity. As a formal web standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the DID architecture is a foundational component for building a more secure and user-centric internet.
Unlike traditional identifiers such as email addresses or usernames, DIDs are not tied to any centralised registry or company. This means that individuals and organisations can create and control their own identifiers, giving them "self-sovereign" control over their digital identities. The core of the system is the DID Document, a JSON file that contains the cryptographic keys and service endpoints associated with a DID. This document is stored on a distributed ledger or other decentralised network, allowing for secure and verifiable interactions.
The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) is used to create a tamper-proof and auditable log of all DID-related events, such as creation, updates, and revocation.

Mynt Music is a Web3 platform designed to address the challenges artists face with traditional streaming services, such as low revenue and a lack of direct engagement with fans. By leveraging blockchain technology, Mynt provides artists with the tools to take greater control over their work and monetization.
The core of the Mynt platform is built on the Hedera network. This allows artists to mint their music, artwork, and other exclusive content as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the Hedera Token Service (HTS). In addition to NFTs, artists can create and issue their own unique, fungible "Fan Tokens." These tokens function as a digital key to an artist's community, granting holders access to exclusive content, unreleased tracks, private channels, and unique real-world experiences. This model transforms passive listeners into active stakeholders in an artist's career.
By building on Hedera, Mynt benefits from the network's high speed, sustainability, and low, predictable transaction fees, which are essential for processing the high volume of micro-transactions involved in a thriving fan economy.
