every DID method, measured
Curated research and live, measured popularity/availability for 79 DID methods — the ones ThisDID resolves itself, the long tail it routes upstream, and the ones the research says are gone. Live numbers come from the resolver's own analytics and health probes. DIF registry sync: 2026-10-23.
