Welcome to the Mimo research repo.

Guide

This is where my research on Mimo and decentralized identity will live. So if you want to be notified of updates in my research I suggest you watch this repo to get notifications.

Navigating this repo is pretty simple. There's the main README (this), the e-contracts folder and the protocol folder.

For more frequent updates you'll want to follow me on Twitter (@ghiliweld), I often post threads with updates on my research since I like to buidl in public.

E-contracts is where I share my general research on e-contracts.

Protocol is where I share research on features in the Mimo protocol and how they'll be implemented.

Research

My research is focused creating an identity standard that is:

• decentralized (can't be shut down)
• private (access to info is authorized by owner)
• free to alter (no gas costs)
• easy to use (from a UX and DX standpoint)
• has human readable IDs

Requirements

• Users MUST be able to create many identities.
• Identities SHOULD NOT be able to be linked by a common user.
• Identifiers MUST must be human-readable.
• Identifiers NEED NOT be truly unique if we can verify the true owner of a name.
• Users MUST be able to access their identity across many apps.
• Users MUST be able to use Mimo without anything more than a keypair.
• Mimo SHOULD work with as many wallets and data storage layers as possible.
• Users MUST be able to share private data as intuitively and safely as possible.
• Users MUST be able to do anything with their identities, including transferring it to another keypair.
• Users SHOULD be able to delegate certain actions to other third-parties if desired.
• Users SHOULD be able to recover their identities intuitively.
