- Codebase maintained with proper read me document
Relation to Hyperledger
Github/Gitlab based DID registries that can be used by Hyperledger Ursa, Hyperledger Aries, or any other Hyperledger Framework that needs to interact with DID Registries
Education Level
Graduate or Masters students preferred. Please do take a look at the skills.
Skills
Exposure to Hyperledger Ursa, hands-on with shell scripting, knowledge of Git, GitHub, or Gitlab is expected. Any high-level understanding of Decentralized Identity is also desirable to some extent.
Future plans
The plan is to further enhance this as an open-source utility and add more capabilities required to manage a full-featured DID Registry on Github.
Preferred Hours and Length of Internship
