5/ Decentralized Web Node (DWN).
Web5’s DWN is a reference implementation of a draft specification.
It’s a mechanism for data storage and message transmission that participants can use to locate data linked to a given DID.
TBD wants to produce a v1.0 of this by July 1, 2022. https://t.co/FiKylPwEXu..
4/ Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).
Web5 leverages ION - an open, public and permissionless DID network that runs atop the #Bitcoin blockchain.
It’s based on the Sidetree protocol which doesn’t require tokens, trusted validators or additional consensus mechanisms to function....
2/ Web5 takes a different approach than Web3.
While Web3 aims to “blockchain” and “tokenize” all things, Web5 uses just one blockchain - #Bitcoin - for one specific use case: identity.

3/ TBD’s Web5 is made up of software components.
These pieces let developers focus on building user experiences while enabling decentralized identity and data storage in apps.
It leverages existing decentralized tech with no blockchains other than #Bitcoin
The components are…
