Highlights

  • Identifiers are likely to be unique across space and time, and come from a practically inexhaustible supply.
  • Identifiers are relatively convenient for humans to mint (create), read, type, remember etc.
  • No central registration is necessary, at least for holders of domain names or email addresses; and there is negligible cost to mint each new identifier.
  • The identifiers are independent of any particular resolution scheme.
