Decentralized Storage ensures Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and profile data are stored in a tamper-resistant, globally accessible manner, using protocols like IPFS. By storing data off-chain and anchoring hashes on-chain, this component supports scalability while maintaining verifiability.

​
Theoretical Role

  • Data Distribution: Stores VCs across a decentralized network.
  • Content Addressing: Generates unique hashes for data retrieval.
  • On-Chain Linkage: Anchors hashes in the IdentityRegistry for trust.

​
Explanation

  • Storage: VCs are stored off-chain for scalability.
  • Verification: Hashes link to on-chain registry for trust.
