BOTLabs GmbH, the initial developer of KILT Protocol, is requesting funds from the Polkadot Treasury for work on the Decentralized Identity Provider (DIP), which has been ongoing for a few months now.
The KILT Decentralized Identity Provider (DIP) brings an OpenID-like authentication flow into Web3 by providing the building blocks to establish an open cross-chain identity ecosystem using a combination of on-chain and off-chain mechanisms, initially based on XCM v3. The DIP is a protocol whose initial design has been carried out by BOTLabs, the initial developer of KILT, and which results in infrastructure work (i.e., pallets and crates) that other projects can integrate into their runtimes. The protocol allows any chain to become an identity provider, with other parachains able to choose the identity providers they want to cooperate with, opening up a free market for identity rather than a monopoly. KILT will be the first mover, but it is opening up space for other identity projects to enter the ecosystem and use DIP, beyond contributing to the overall DIP vision.

How to verify the document integrity

The current version of the proposal document has been digitally signed with one of the DIDs that BOTLabs GmbH controls. To verify the signature:
1. Download the PDF version of the Google Document linked above.
2. Download the DID signature of the file from IPFS, with CID QmfDECBY1c7BCTR2A6QVfQPnrjQ6V4jdw2EmnWjYhs2on1 (e.g., ipfs.io). Save the file with dip-proposal.didsign.
3. Visit didsign.io, and upload both the PDF file and the downloaded signature. The signature should verify correctly and link to the KILT tx in which the timestamp was generated.
4. To verify the back-link from the DID to the account to which the funds must be sent if the Proposal is accepted, copy the account in the Proposal (15oXzySe6tjF2MumHfUodH8pFQWjy2hraRmXUJXXMKKY6p3F for quick reference) and paste it in w3n.id. The account must be linked to the same web3name that signed the proposal document, i.e., w3n:botlabs_dip.

BOTLabs GmbH is asking for money from the Polkadot Treasury for their work on a project called the Decentralized Identity Provider (DIP).
The DIP helps people use a special way to log in on the internet, similar to OpenID, but for Web3.
It allows different blockchains (chains that keep records) to work together in identifying people and organizations.
KILT Project, created by BOTLabs, is the first to use this system, but it lets others join in and create their own identity projects.
The proposal for funding includes information about past changes and can be found online.
To check if the proposal is safe and real, there are steps to verify its digital signature.
Questions or feedback can be shared in the comments or through specific online channels.
