The Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) is a non-profit 501(c)(6) organization, part of the Linux Foundation and its Digital Trust Initiative. DIF supports open standards and open-source software to accelerate the adoption of Decentralized Identity and related new developments including Decentralized Web Nodes (DWNs) and DIDComm. The DIF community comprises Working Groups that 1) Innovate for rapid development of specifications that become standards, 2) Create software building blocks and tools for identity solutions comprising DIDs and VCs, and 3) Maintain reference, open-source, implementations and stacks, (e.g., Veramo from ConsenSys Mesh).
