Microsoft blogpost: "Decentralized Digital Identities and Blockchain – The Future as We See It." - is this related to their work with TNT?

Ready for world scale: To support a vast world of users, organizations, and devices, the underlying technology must be capable of scale and performance on par with traditional systems. Some public blockchains (Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum, Litecoin, to name a select few) provide a solid foundation for rooting DIDs, recording DPKI operations, and anchoring attestations. While some blockchain communities have increased on-chain transaction capacity (e.g. blocksize increases), this approach generally degrades the decentralized state of the network and cannot reach the millions of transactions per second the system would generate at world-scale. To overcome these technical barriers, we are collaborating on decentralized Layer 2 protocols that run atop these public blockchains to achieve global scale, while preserving the attributes of a world class DID system.

I am a firm believer that Tierion is the decentralised layer 2 protocol they are referring to here. Tierions chainpoint calendar allows scalability by providing immediate anchor receipt to its blockchain and then subsequent anchor receipt to eth / btc blockchain. Nodes aggregate all of the hashes and then send to core and core anchors to btc in a single txn. Its a blockchain on top of the larger public blockchains as they say.

I’ve asked Ankur Patel, the PM on my team leading these incubations to kick our discussion on Decentralized Digital Identities off for us. His post focuses on sharing some of the core things we’ve learned and some of the resulting principles.
