Blockchain Commons builds technologies to support the Gordian Principles and other architectural goals. Many are defined with specifications in our research repo and by reference apps.
Data Format Technologies
Data formats are encoding methods that we’ve chosen to embody specific principles such as interoperability and resilience. This includes Bytewords, CBOR, URs, and, at the top level, Gordian Envelope.

Data Resilience Technologies
Resilience is a core Gordian Principle. Our data resilience technologies such as CSR, CKM, and SSKR are meant to help you hold on to your keys and seeds. (And we have some best practices and courses to help.)

Digital Identity Technologies
Digital identity is quite literally who you are on the internet. Our digital identity technologies center on self-sovereign identity and XIDs, which are our own exemplar of what we think SSI should be.

Digital Signature Technologies
In turn, digital signatures help you to prove who you are. We’re interesting in next-generation signatures such as MuSig2 and FROST, as well as our own method of cryptographic proof of ordering, provenance marks.

Secure Communication Technologies
Digital identities and assets are only as safe as your communication channel. Our secure-comm techs are wide-ranging, including visual-comm aids such as OIBs and LifeHash, architectural measures such as airgaps and torgaps, and reference comm apps such as Garner and Hubert.
