Research

Not a Chinese chain: LING is K4-Security's (the same Seoul vendor behind did:kscirc) LevelDB-based key-value store, and the DID method rides on it. The spec is a v0.0.1 Notion draft from May 2024, untouched since, defining no resolution endpoints; the resolver stack is four closed-source containers, and exactly one DID is known to resolve through the DIF dev instance — carrying a revoked timestamp. No public read API exists, so no verifying edge driver is buildable; the method stays upstream-routed in the long tail.
