Description

Azimuth is a suite of Ethereum smart contracts that provides on-chain PKI state, notably ownership and public keys for points. Its Ecliptic interface supports key configuration and ownership transfers, with associated contracts for governance polling, star releases, claims, reputation censures, delegated sending, and planet-sale examples.

Urbit ID


Project Links


Description

Urbit ID is Urbit’s identity mechanism for naming and contacting network computers. Each identity is a number rendered as a pronounceable @p name and sigil; shorter, finite address tiers are managed as Ethereum-based public-key infrastructure through the Azimuth smart contracts. Its identity hierarchy supports authenticated contact, network routing and governance roles, and spam resistance.
