A decentralized web node (DWN) acts as a personal data store and messaging hub for decentralized identity. It enables users to securely store, control, and share identity-related data (e.g., credentials, social graphs) without centralized servers. DWNs use cryptographic protocols for privacy and integrity, allowing selective disclosure to authorized parties. They also facilitate peer-to-peer interactions, empowering users to maintain a single identity across multiple ecosystems while supporting scalable, interoperable applications.
