DID and P2P Toolkit
Build cryptographically powered guilds and digital third-places with DerSig.
Overview
🌐Building Distributed Communities
Many people yearn for genuine community—moving beyond isolation to build meaningful relationships, share stories, embark on adventures, support those in need, and practice collaborative leadership in peer-to-peer networks.
Digital communities like Mastodon demonstrate this potential: local instances serve as community hubs where members connect, while federation creates a broader distributed network of interconnected communities.
Dersig explores a unique approach to intentional community formation, shifting focus from content consumption to active collaboration—organizing together, making and fulfilling requests, building relationships, and creating shared narratives.
⚔️The Adventurers Guild Model
Imagine transforming a Mastodon-like instance into something more akin to a fantasy guild—a place where people gather not just to communicate, but to organize and take action together.
In fantasy worlds, guilds serve as community anchors where members:
- Collaborate to address community needs and requests
- Organize expeditions and shared adventures
- Build reputation through meaningful contributions
Digital Guild Infrastructure:
🔐 Identity & Trust
Just as guilds issue official membership cards, our digital guild uses self-signed certificates to create guild cards containing your personal certificate—establishing your identity and tracking the reputation you earn through community participation.
🏛️ Community Spaces
Like traditional guild halls, we provide tools for community chat and services that create a genuine "third place" for meaningful interaction.
📋 Request Board
Similar to guild quest boards, community members can post requests for tasks, projects, and collaborative activities.
👑 Governance
Like guild masters who provide leadership, our system includes tools for community governance, moderation, and inter-guild diplomacy.
