Current Plans

The strategic direction remains consistent with the annual report. The main goals are to:

  • Improve documentation and developer tutorials

Planned features for the upcoming year include:

  • Cardano Identus VDR
  • Issuance capabilities in the SDKs
  • OIDC support: OID4VCI, OID4VP, and SIOP 2.0
  • Authentication via the PRISM DID method

Additional features under consideration:

  • Support for JSON-LD Verifiable Credentials
  • Support for OpenBadges 3.0 Verifiable Credentials
  • Integration with WebWallets

To align with Hyperledger Project Lifecycle Criteria, the team also plans to:

  • Enable the OpenSSF Best Practices Badge
  • Enable the OpenSSF Scorecard Badge

Maintainer Diversity

Socious has increased its presence on both Discord and GitHub. Additionally, new external contributors—such as @Yummy-Yums—have joined the community, bringing fresh perspectives and contributions.

Contributor Diversity

The primary contributor to the Identus project continues to be Input Output Global (IOG). However, Blocktrust and Socious also actively contribute to the codebase and discussions. Interest from new engineers is growing, as evidenced by increased participation on Discord and in weekly community meetings.

Additional Information

The Identus team is also focused on integrating SSI capabilities into IOG’s Midnight and Lace projects. These efforts are expected to boost the adoption of the Identus Platform within the broader Cardano ecosystem.
