 <p class="paragraph">It utilizes Ordinal-based inscriptions to create decentralized identifiers (DIDs) that store and retrieve data without depending on sidechains. The system is designed for high scalability and efficiency, capable of processing up to 10,000 DIDs in a single transaction.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">An unofficial draft shared on <em>GitHub</em> outlines the service’s objective:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">The goal of this method is to deliver trustless, tamper-proof, and enduring decentralized identities utilizing only the public Bitcoin blockchain as a data source.</p>
 </blockquote>
 <p class="paragraph">Further expanding its blockchain offerings, MicroStrategy has leveraged the Bitcoin Ordinals Protocol to issue these DIDs, which provide a level of pseudonymity similar to that of Bitcoin transactions. This protocol facilitates data storage and communication on individual satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">MicroStrategy has already developed one practical application of this technology, “Orange For Outlook.” This application integrates digital signatures into emails, allowing recipients to verify the sender’s identity, thus enhancing the security and trustworthiness of digital communications.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-criticisms-and-market-response">Criticisms and market response</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Despite its innovative prospects, MicroStrategy’s project has faced criticism. <em>Tony Giorgio</em>, co-founder of Mutiny Wallet, has questioned the viability of DIDs and criticized Saylor’s method of utilizing the Bitcoin blockchain for data storage.&nbsp;</p>
