The Universal Registrar creates/updates/deactivates Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) across many different DID methods, based on the W3C DID Core 1.0 and DID Registration specifications.
See https://uniregistrar.io/ for a publicly hosted instance of a Universal Registrar. See Docker Hub for images.
You can deploy the Universal Registrar on your local machine by cloning this Github repository, and using docker compose to build and run the Universal Registrar as well as its drivers:
git clone https://github.com/decentralized-identity/universal-registrar
cd universal-registrar/
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml pull
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up
You should then be able to create/update/deactivate identifiers locally using simple curl requests as follows:
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=v1' -d '{"options":{"ledger":"test","keytype": "ed25519"}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=sov' -d '{"options":{"network":"danube"}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=btcr' -d '{"options":{"chain":"TESTNET"}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=key' -d '{"options":{"keyType": "Ed25519VerificationKey2018"}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=ion' -d '{}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=web' -d '{}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=ebsi' -d '{"secret":{"token":"ey......"}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=oyd' -d '{"didDocument":{"@context":"https://www.w3.org/ns/did/v1","authentication":[]}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=cheqd' -d '{"didDocument":{...}}'
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9080/1.0/create?method=ethr' -d '{"options":{"network":"goerli"}}'
If this doesn't work, see Troubleshooting.
Note that there is also a Universal Registrar frontend that can optionally be installed separately.
