Global Decentralized Identity DID Users Surpass 500 Million: Unified Digital Identity Standard Takes Shape

W3C announces blockchain-based decentralized identity DID global users have surpassed 500 million, enabling users to seamlessly log into all DID-supporting platforms with a single digital identity.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced on July 3, 2028, that global users of the Decentralized Identifier (DID) standard have surpassed 500 million. DIDs allow users to create self-controlled digital identities without relying on any centralized identity provider. With a single DID, users can authenticate across all supporting platforms without remembering multiple usernames and passwords. Microsoft, Google, and Ant Group already support DID login in their major products. W3C DID Working Group chair Dr. Manu Sporny said: "DID doesn't replace existing identity systems—it provides users with a unified cross-platform identity layer. Your identity belongs to you, not to any platform."
