Hypersign Identity Network

Hypersign Identity Network is a permissionless blockchain with an on-chain verifiable data registry for decentralized identifiers, credential schemas and verifiable-credential status. Its Go node is built with the Cosmos SDK and supports identity-registry operations as well as staking, governance, IBC transfers and CosmWasm contract deployment.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use the node repository when you need to operate or develop against Hypersign's blockchain and its identity registry, rather than seeking a standalone identity application.

Who it is for

  • Developers building self-sovereign identity applications that need DID lifecycle or credential-registry operations.
  • Node operators and developers exploring or running the Hypersign blockchain.
  • Network participants using staking, governance, IBC transfers or CosmWasm deployment functions.

Documented uses

  • Register, update or deactivate DID documents on the network.
  • Store or update credential schemas and verifiable-credential status.
  • Run a local single-node setup or start the node in Docker.
  • Use the node for staking, governance proposals, IBC transfers or CosmWasm contract deployment.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. Its README documents local-binary and Docker node setup.

  • The node is built with the Cosmos SDK and describes compatibility with W3C DID specifications.
  • The local binary setup requires Go 1.21, make and jq.
  • The Docker instructions start a single node and publish port mappings for that container.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up a local single-node network

Install the node binary and start the documented local single-node blockchain.

Before you start

  • Go version 1.21
  • make
  • jq

Steps

  1. Clone the hid-node repository and change into its directory.

  2. Run make install to install the binary.

  3. Run bash ./scripts/localnet-single-node/setup.sh to set up the single-node blockchain.

  4. Start the node with hid-noded start.

Expected outcome

A local hid-noded single-node blockchain is started.

Guide limitations

  • This guide covers the documented local single-node setup, not joining or validating on a public network.

Source-based practical guide

Start a node using Docker

Run the documented hid-node Docker container.

Before you start

  • Docker

Steps

  1. Pull ghcr.io/hypersign-protocol/hid-node:latest.

  2. Run the container with the documented port mappings and hid-node start command.

Expected outcome

The Docker container starts a hid-node process.
