Identity
Your keys. Your identity. No accounts.
A DID (Decentralized IDentifier) is how you exist on the Grid. It’s a keypair generated on your device. The private half never leaves — not to us, not to any operator, not ever.
What a DID gives you
Four things. Four losses of friction.
Generated on your device
The keypair is created locally. The private half never touches a server — not even one operated by the Grid.
Works across every service
One DID signs your packages, your receipts, your .grid names, and your browser prompts. No per-app accounts.
Recovery by phrase, not email
12 words written down on a piece of paper. Lose the device, write down the words elsewhere, you still own the DID.
Capabilities instead of API keys
Sign a capability, narrow in scope, revoke anytime. Capabilities replace every API key the old cloud forced you to rotate.
