Spaces Launches Trust Anchor, Enabling Apps to Verify Human-Readable Identities Based on Bitcoin

Odaily: Bitcoin News posted on X that Spaces has launched "Trust Anchor," allowing apps to directly verify human-readable identities based on Bitcoin without relying on centralized servers. Users can obtain a single Trust ID and scan or paste it into Spaces-compatible apps to verify identity identifiers such as alice@bitcoin based on locally verified Spaces protocol state. The Trust ID is generated from the Bitcoin block header chain and Spaces cumulative state; the Veritas app on macOS can generate this ID without running a Bitcoin full node, and users can also connect their own node or generate the same Trust ID through the Spaces client. The solution aims to use Bitcoin as the foundation of a decentralized certificate authority, enabling apps to authenticate identities without trusting corporate servers.
