Trust Chain Explorer

Who vouches for
this DID?

Enter any DID. We show the whole chain above it: which registry lists it and as what, who accredits that registry, and under which rulebook — up to the root. Every step is a public query you can repeat yourself — starting from nothing but the DID.

Hints down, trust up.

Try: ·
Authorization
A registry says this DID is listed, and in what role. Answered by TRQP /authorization.
Recognition
A registry says another registry is an authority it accepts — the registry-of-registries link. Answered by TRQP /recognition, and scoped to a named rulebook where one was granted.
Hints down, trust up
A DID can only ever hint: it names the registry it says lists it, and that registry names the one it says accredits it. Trust runs the other way — from the registry you configured as an anchor, back down each link it confirms. Anything that lists a DID without being named by it is a hint about where else to look, and takes no part in the verdict. This page follows only what the DID names, so what it shows is exactly what anyone holding the DID could find.
Line colour
Cyan — we got here by following a pointer the subject published, and the authority confirmed it. Green — confirmed, but found by asking around rather than being told where to look. Red — claimed and not confirmed, or confirmed but not active.
Admitted via
Where a registry admitted someone on evidence from elsewhere — a Gaia-X Compliance credential, say — the link says so, naming the body that issued it. That body is not a link in the chain: it is not an authority above the registry, and the registry remains the one vouching. It is the difference between a listing you can check and one you have to take on faith.
Several registries
A DID can name more than one registry that lists it — a sectoral one and a supplier one, say. Each is a separate chain, followed and confirmed on its own, and the DID is trusted if any of them ends at a registry you trust. Being listed somewhere nobody trusts says nothing about being listed somewhere they do.
Listing claim
A DID’s own document can name the registry that lists it, in a #trustregistry service entry. That is how this page gets from a DID to a registry without being told where to look — but it is the subject talking about itself, so we ask the registry it names. A registry that does not list it is shown saying so.
Accreditation claim
A registry’s own DID document names who accredits it. That is a pointer, not a proof, so we follow it and ask — a claim nobody confirms is shown as unconfirmed.
