This was one of my stretch goals for fediverser.io, and I would definitely be interested in helping with this. Basically, the end goal would be to create ActivityPub actors that are based on the DID to completely decouple their identity from the ActivityPub server that is serving their inbox and outbox.

Yes, that’s exactly it! The identities are linked to a URL that the user chooses, which hosts the DID document and all the identity records. I am working on getting the GitHub ready for public, I will notify you when it has been opened up!

@robert.meyer86 See also https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/ef61/fep-ef61.md. This is already part of Fediverse and has multiple implementations.

Oh wow, this is exactly what I had been thinking of! Amazing! This should simplify the development process of this platform significantly. Do you know of any projects using this standard in their platforms?

Forte and tootik use FEP-ef61 with server-managed keys. I am working on an application where keys are stored on the client side: minimitra. This is probably closer to your idea.

Do you want to use iroh for transport, or for identity?

Iroh was more of the p2p transport layer, but it is what facilitates the authentication through DID to the local vault. The work you linked is very relevant and will be definitely be of use!
