KERI Learning: Blockchain Optionality

KERI Learning: Blockchain Optionality

KERI can optionally use blockchain-based discovery without depending on any single ledger.

KERI can work with blockchain for discovery and verification, but it does not require a specific ledger. This card explains that optionality as a learning point.

Optional blockchain discovery

KERI supports flexible deployment by allowing blockchain use only when it makes sense. This tutorial-style explanation helps learners understand that blockchain is not mandatory for KERI.

Practical takeaway

The key lesson is that KERI is designed to be portable and adaptable. Learning this optionality clarifies how KERI differs from ledger-first identity systems.
