Create DID

DID cheqd scheme is supported with the same functionality as the other DID schemes (see Decentralized Identifiers for command-line interface or #decentralised-identifiers for REST API). Creating a did:cheqd will also onboard with the Universal Registrar. The created DID can be checked at https://resolver.cheqd.net/1.0/identifiers/{your-did} or using the Universal Resolver.

did:cheqd requires keys of type Ed25519. They can be either:

• imported into SSIKit - and further used when creating the did by specifying the kid

• or created with SSIKit

  • standalone

  • by default when running the did-create command

Using the CLI | Command Line Interface

E.g. create a did:cheqd on testnet and also create the key for it by default

ssikit did create -m cheqd -n testnet

or

ssikit did create -m cheqd --network testnet
