Welcome to the UCAN Working Group 🎟️ ⚡
User Controlled Authorization Networks (UCANs) are decentralized, capabilities model authorization tokens.
UCAN is a trustless, secure, local-first, user-originated authorization and revocation scheme. UCAN is designed to be very flexible: you can use it offline, online, fully P2P, federated, or with central servers.
Please see the specs for more detail.
