Over 50,000 contributors to the tech-focused publishing platform, Hackernoon can now mint decentralised identifiers powered by NameSpaceID which is owned by Decentland Labs, an infrastructure platform built on Molecular Execution Machine and powered by Arweave..
This comes nearly two months after both Decentland labs and Hackernoon announced plans to enable contributors to have readable names instead of one made up of alphanumeric. Hackernoon said it was part of its plan to become fully decentralised.
“By turning unrememberable numerical strings into human-readable words, like dot HackerNoon, we are making web3 addresses more discoverable. All HackerNoon contributors now have the option to claim the DID (decentralized ID) of their existing HackerNoon handle,” Founder and CEO of HackerNoon David Smooke, said in a press release in October 2023.
NameSpace is built on MEM and everPay, with IDs stored permanently on Arweave with a pay-once-own-forever model. While the subject of traditional identifiers does not really own them as the centralised issuer can withdraw the identifier, the subject of a decentralised identity owns and controls that digital identity. With DIDS, issues such as data breaches, privacy invasion and single points of failure are addressed, providing a better alternative to centralized identifiers. “Collaborating with the Hackernoon team has been an incredible experience! @mem_tech fuels the HN namespace, showcasing a remarkable scalability and a shift in web3 UX. Exciting to welcome 50k+ potential users to @NameSpace_ID, Darwin the co-founder and CTO of Decent Land Labs stated.
