Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
displaying, by an edge device, a user interface configured to generate a decentralized identity;
receiving, by the edge device, a plurality of inputs specifying a plurality of types of decentralized identity data and a plurality of application programming interfaces, via which, the plurality of types of the decentralized identity data is accessible; and
forming a communication for communication to a decentralized node including a personal datastore configured to control third party access via at least one application programming interface and included as part of a network of decentralized nodes individually configured to store, receive, and transmit data based on rules associated with the decentralized nodes that specify a type of data to associate with a specific type of application programming interface, the communication configured to cause the decentralized node to maintain the decentralized identity, via which, the decentralized identity data is made available via respective application programming interfaces of the plurality of application programming interfaces.
