  "research": "The identifier commits to its own document: a base58btc multihash of the stored record, whose provenance log (create/update/revoke entries, each Ed25519-signed and hash-chained) lets any resolver verify the full history from public HTTPS endpoints — no ledger involved. OwnYourData (EU NGI-funded) remains actively developed in 2026 and its public repo and resolver answer in well under a second. ThisDID routes did:oyd to resolver.ownyourdata.eu as the authoritative first hop; notably, the DIF Universal Resolver's oyd driver is a pure proxy to that same resolver and Godiddy does not support the method, so today nobody independently verifies did:oyd. All verification primitives (SHA-256 multihash, canonical-JSON log hashing, Ed25519) are reproducible with WebCrypto alone, making a local verifying driver — the only independent check of the method anywhere — a planned small build.",
