Is anyone doing anything with DID:WEB or is the network mainly PLC? It's interesting to see an implementation; we looked at it for the COVID certs (with W3C:VC) but it was technically lacking for that use case. For EUDI wallets too IMHO but that is solvable.

did:web is still supported but it does have some technical challenges that make we wonder if it needs an upgrade

I’m using did:web for main now so thank you for continuing to support it and also if you need test subjects please let me know 🙏

webvh support? Like, being able to spin up an alt plc and trust that for your identity feels like a reasonable option and that is basically what webvh is.

Yeah uh, there’s a bunch of people who’ve had their did:web disappear from the Bluesky AppView (not from moderation). Ex: my project account pdsls.dev/at://did:web... It happened after I tried to move it to a new PDS (I made sure to include the old signing keys)

I'm trying to understand how you ensure the full chain-of-trust with DID web; for the EU-DCC we shipped national certs with our apps and provided the trustlists as signed packages. Then a different group tracked all similar lists from other countries. Also validated the connection certs (TLS).

But I'll admit I haven't dived into that much detail into DID:WEB implementations. At least some of the methods don't seem to have that issue (although the entire blockchain thing is a problem).
