Key Features
Unique Persistent Identifiers: revolutionizes off-chain data representation by introducing persistent cryptographic identifiers, capturing and tracing modifications to data objects over time. These identifiers accommodate diverse data types, ensuring comprehensive and immutable records.
Chain Spaces: allow for the management of collections of identifiers, which empowers organizations with efficient and organized control over identifier-based data. These chain spaces can contain identifiers representing private or publicly accessible repositories of data. With chain spaces, organizations can establish data schemas, define participation rules, and set access permissions to ensure proper governance and control.
Delegation Hierarchies: supports the creation of delegation hierarchies for authorization and coordinated decision-making processes. On-chain delegations enable entities to authorize trusted partners or employees to make changes to identifiers or manage chain spaces.
Immutable Data History: Unlike traditional blockchain networks that rely solely on data hashes, CORD’s unique persistent identifiers offer an auditable way to view the complete history and latest state of the associated data. The identifiers remain the same over time, even if the underlying data changes, providing an accurate and trustworthy record of the data’s transformations.
Security and privacy: maintain data security and privacy by not revealing information about the type of data the identifier represents. Only the creator or authorized entities can modify the state of the identifiers, ensuring integrity and controlled access.
Scalability: incorporates optimized mechanisms to achieve high scalability and throughput, ensuring that your applications can efficiently handle a large volume of transactions under peak conditions.
Interoperability: offers seamless integration with blockchain networks and traditional systems, ensuring effortless connectivity and data exchange. By leveraging interoperable identifiers, you can effortlessly link and interact with external networks, unlocking opportunities for cross-chain collaboration and expanding the capabilities of your applications. This opens up new horizons, enabling your solutions to reach a broader audience and tap into the vast potential of interconnected ecosystems.
In addition to its transformative features, CORD also supports the widely adopted standards of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), including Verifiable Credentials (VC) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). This integration enables seamless interoperability with the broader web ecosystem.
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a fundamental component of CORD, offering a powerful mechanism for creating and managing unique, self-owned identifiers. DIDs enable individuals, organizations, and entities to have complete control over their digital identities in a decentralized manner.
By leveraging W3C VC, CORD allows for the issuance, verification, and presentation of verifiable credentials, which enhance trust and enable secure digital interactions. Verifiable credentials provide a portable and tamper-proof way to share and verify digital information, making them invaluable in various use cases such as identity verification, access control, and data sharing.
By embracing W3C VC and DIDs, CORD extends its capabilities and fosters a more interconnected and trust-enhancing environment. This integration enables developers to leverage the power of standardized, interoperable technologies while building innovative applications and services.
CORD opens up a world of possibilities for developers with a secure, scalable, and interoperable infrastructure, enabling them to build applications and services prioritising data protection and governance. This capability is crucial in various industries where privacy and security are significant factors. By leveraging CORD, developers can confidently create solutions that comply with regulatory requirements, ensuring the secure handling of sensitive information.
CORD introduces a range of technological innovations that enhance trust in data exchange over the network. These include persistent identifiers, verifiable attributes, auditable history, and a comprehensive stack featuring tiered transactions, delegations, authorizations, and governance. These cutting-edge features create remarkable opportunities for innovation across various industries, whether established or emerging.
