veres-one's Introduction

Veres One

A blockchain for acquiring and managing decentralized identifiers.

The Veres One Project envisions a world where people and organizations control their identifiers and their identity data. The Veres One Blockchain is a fit-for-purpose blockchain optimized for identity on the Web. The network ecosystem is designed to be self-sufficient through the use of an innovative operational and funding model. The operational model ensures openness, prevents attacks against the network, and financially rewards individuals and organizations that choose to run software to ensure the security of the network.

Human dignity demands that every individual be able to participate equally in our increasingly digital society. That means everyone deserves the ability create and administer unique, globally resolvable identifiers. For that reason, the network is global and open to the public; anyone may participate.

You can learn more about this project at the Veres One Website.

Technical details about the blockchain can be found in the Veres One DID Method Specification.

Requirements

  • Linux (Debian 9+, Ubuntu 16.04+)
  • Node 0.8.9+
  • MongoDB (3.6+)
  • Redis (4.0+)

Developer Quickstart

Setting up a Veres One development environment is fairly easy and consists of the following steps:

  1. Modify your /etc/hosts file.
  2. Install Git, Node 0.8.9+, MongoDB 3.6+, and Redis 4.0+.
  3. Setup the Veres One development environment.

Detailed instructions can be found below:

Make sure to add the following hostnames to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1  localhost genesis.veres.one.localhost peer-1.veres.one.localhost \
             peer-2.veres.one.localhost peer-3.veres.one.localhost

The \ and line break above is for readability purposes. Every *.veres.one.localhost should be on the same line as 127.0.0.1.

git clone https://github.com/veres-one/veres-one.git
cd veres-one
npm install
node genesis.veres.one.localhost.js

You can write DIDs to the development blockchain by using the did-client:

git clone https://github.com/digitalbazaar/did-client.git
cd did-client
npm install
./did -m dev generate --register

If you want to run a minimum network with electors, you will have to run the genesis node and 3 peers:

cd veres-one
node peer-1.veres.one.localhost.js
node peer-2.veres.one.localhost.js
node peer-3.veres.one.localhost.js

When you create a DID, you should see all peers vote and synchronize to the same block.

Roadmap and Issue Tracker

The Veres One Project publishes the Veres One Technical Roadmap online. All bugs, suggestions, requests, and code issues are tracked on the Veres One Issue Tracker.
