Urbit also provides Urbit ID, a cryptographically controlled identity and address system; its Azimuth segment is owned on Ethereum as ERC-721 NFTs, with Layer 2 support. The project serves self-hosted users and developers through setup guides, documentation, courses, APIs, and language references for Hoon and Nock.
