Abstract

The evolution of decentralized identity protocols has ushered in new possibilities for secure, self-sovereign identity management. However, the adoption of these technologies is often limited by the complexity of wallet-based systems and the challenges of maintaining decentralization while complying with regulatory frameworks like GDPR. MOTI introduces a novel DID protocol that enables users to manage Verifiable Credentials (VCs) through their social accounts, bypassing the need for traditional wallets. This protocol leverages a distributed database architecture, secured by users' invisible wallet signatures, with the integrity of the system ensured by anchoring the head of the Merkle Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) on a blockchain. This design not only enhances usability but also ensures decentralization and compliance with GDPR.
