every DID method, measured
Sidetree on Bitcoin — long-form DIDs fully verified offline; short-form via upstreams.
Live scores
Probation verification
New driver under the verification guarantee: ThisDID resolutions are double-checked in parallel against an independent upstream — for did:ion, godiddy — until the live match-rate earns graduation.
DIF Universal Resolver docker driver
did:ion has an approved and merged resolver docker container in the DIF Universal Resolver repository.

Research
ThisDID's driver verifies long-form did:ion entirely offline (suffix and delta hashes over canonicalized create data — no network needed) and was activated in wave 5 after being parked one wave. Short-form resolution requires an anchored-state Sidetree node: the historical public gateways (Microsoft's ion.msidentity.com, TBD's ion.tbd.engineering) are both dead (re-confirmed 24 Aug 2026), so the driver deliberately ships with NO short-form endpoint — short-form reports notConfigured and the routing chain falls through to upstreams that still advertise ion. Set ION_RESOLUTION_ENDPOINT the day a legitimate Sidetree node exists.
