The XLS-40 amendment on the XRP Ledger, introducing a new standard for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), was activated on October 30.
DIDs are unique, user-owned identifiers that are not controlled by any central authority and are designed to be persistent, globally resolvable, and cryptographically verifiable.
The XRP Ledger implementation of DIDs involves users creating a DID document and associating it with their on-chain DID object, ensuring authenticity and preventing identity forgery.
DIDs on the XRP Ledger conform to the requirements of the DID v1.0 specification, enabling interoperability and trusted digital transactions.
