Sonr is a combination of decentralized primitives. Fundamentally, it is a peer-to-peer identity and asset management system that leverages DID documents, Webauthn, and IPFS—providing users with a secure, portable decentralized identity.
## Components ### `sonrd` The main blockchain node that runs the `sonr` chain. It is responsible for maintaining the state of the chain, including IPFS based vaults, and did documents. ### `vault` The `vault` is a wasm module that is compiled and deployed to IPFS on behalf of the user. It is responsible for storing and retrieving encrypted data. - SQLite Database backend - Encryption via admonition - Authentication via webauthn - Authorization via Macroons - HTTP API ## Acknowledgements Sonr would not have been possible without the direct and indirect support of the following individuals: - **Juan Benet**: For the IPFS Ecosystem. - **Satoshi Nakamoto**: For Bitcoin. - **Steve Jobs**: For User first UX. - **Tim Berners-Lee**: For the Internet.
