Deciding

We&rsquo;re stepping back from this proposal.
Over the past few months, we shared parts of our roadmap with many people across the ecosystem. In those conversations, the idea of issuing usernames was occasionally mentioned and, at no point, did anyone raise a concern about it, or about the possibility of multiple authorities being an issue.
Based on the current on-chain logic, and after testing that confirmed everything works as expected (including with Chopsticks), we moved forward in good faith. Only after the proposal went live did concerns emerge about a potential future change to enforce a single-authority model within the identity pallet.
To avoid unnecessary confusion, we&rsquo;ve chosen to withdraw and decline the proposal.
We&rsquo;re sincerely grateful to everyone who supported the initiative with votes, feedback, and encouragement. That support reflects the trust this community has placed in our vision.

<hr />
Inspired by the first username authority proposal made by Parity at <a href="https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1177">https://polkadot.polkassembly.io/referenda/1177</a> seeking to provide .DOT usernames through their new upcoming Polkadot mobile application, this proposal aims to make PolkaIdentity also an username authority.
We believe that PolkaIdentity has already demonstrated its success by being the first fully automated platform focused exclusively on identities at People Chain.
With that expertise, we believe we can accelerate the adoption of the usernames through the Polkadot ecosystem, allowing users to register their username and providing the necessary tools and clients for other services like mobile wallets and dApps can start using this feature.
