The open-source platform doesn’t require any sidechains and can process over 10,000 decentralized identifiers in a single BTC transaction. It also permits the issuance of DIDs to the personnel and deploys applications, followed by several customization tools to integrate particular services.
Orange For Outlook is MicroStrategy’s already built application which made it easy for the users to verify the identity of the email sender. The process includes acceptance of the invitation email signed by MicroStrategy’s DID to generate unique DID and keys for the user.
In the same way, MicroStrategy Orange will be used for BTC applications, E-Commerce Apps, Social Media Networks, Fintech Apps, and enterprise apps under a verifiable credentials ecosystem.
