This document details the strategy & roadmap for implementing a system for recording trust signals for packages on the Sui blockchain.

Overview

Our project creates an open standard allowing anyone to easily create and manage attestations. The platform will introduce an authorities framework for verified individuals or entities to become trusted authorities, validated on-chain. This approach treats attestations like SSL certificates, where issuing authorities — similar to how we have "EV SSL" or "Verizon SSL"—serve as the bridge for trust.

We have documented the roles for each core entity here https://daccred.notion.site/Sui-core-entities-124c1b4c7fa681cf83ebdf2536d9661b?pvs=4

Key Components

To achieve success with our implementation, the following core components are essential for building a comprehensive attestation framework:

1️⃣ A no-code attestation dApp to enable semi-technical and technical users to interact with the protocol and deploy or sign attestations.

2️⃣ Attestation standard contracts in Move language with SIP Drafts for attestations standard

**3️⃣ A npx CLI for technical users & developers to deploy & sign schemas directly from their terminal

4️⃣ A Node.js / Tpyescript SDK to simplify integration for teams and developers working with attestations

This integrated approach creates a foundation for recording and viewing trust signals across various applications.

1. It supports packages and authorities, and extends to use cases like real-world asset tokenization, decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and network states.
2. The framework enhances security, fosters user confidence, and promotes transparency and reliability in the Sui ecosystem.
3. It's designed to meet current demands and adapt to future innovations, ensuring that the Sui blockchain remains secure, trustworthy, and ready for growth.
