A few months ago, we (Caelum Labs), the company behind this meetup, received a Grant from the Web3 Foundation to work on an open-source Digital Identity library for Blockchain made in Rust. And so we did 🙂

After months of hard work, we have opened the libraries to the world. So, we plan to explain the ins and outs of this Self-Sovereign Identity framework we’ve been working on in Substrate for the web3 ecosystem.

If you want to learn more about our Tech stack and solution join us for an evening where you can learn how to use our set of libraries.

We are eager to share what we have built with you. Your feedback will be more than welcome.

So please join us if you wish to learn about:

– Digital Identity on Polkadot & Substrate
– Working with DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) and VC (Verifiable
Credentials), the web3 standards.
– Understanding Zero Knowledge Proofs with Zenroom (A
Cryptographic Virtual Machine)

Also, we will show you our first version for the Personal Identity Container on a Raspberry Pi based on Decode OS (Devuan TOR).

If any of the words we used don’t sound familiar, don’t worry at all, we will go step by step explaining each and every concept 🙂
