End State
The target capabilities for RegistryAccord represent a comprehensive platform for creator-owned digital presence and economic empowerment.
Target Capabilities
DID Identity
Full support for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) as the foundation for portable digital identity. Creators maintain control over their identity across all applications and services.
Schema-Governed Content
Structured content models that enable rich interoperability while maintaining flexibility. Content schemas define the structure and semantics of different types of creator content.
Federated Discovery (Feeds/Search)
Distributed discovery mechanisms that allow users to find content and creators across the ecosystem without centralized gatekeepers.
Fiat + Programmable Payments
Support for both traditional fiat payments and programmable money through cryptocurrencies and smart contracts, enabling diverse monetization strategies.
Privacy and Moderation Patterns
Built-in mechanisms for privacy protection and content moderation that respect both creator autonomy and community standards.
Phase 1 Non-Goals
To set clear expectations, Phase 1 explicitly does not include:
- Advanced payment systems beyond basic stubs
- Complex privacy features
- Sophisticated moderation tools
- Full federation across multiple implementations
- Production-ready scalability features
These capabilities are planned for future phases as the protocol matures and gains adoption.
Success Metrics
The end state will be measured by:
- Number of active creators using RegistryAccord-based applications
- Interoperability between different implementations
- Economic value flowing through the ecosystem
- Developer adoption and application diversity
- User satisfaction and retention rates
