+CIP: 0071
+Title: Verified Pool Identity
+Authors: Dennis Mittmann <[email protected]>

+
+## Abstract
+
+This CIP defines a standard to verify Staking Pools using Decentralized Identifiers (DID)
+
+## Motivation
+
+The verification process of the authenticity of Staking Pools is currently a centralized effort. 
+
+## High-Level Overview
+
+1. Topic: Verification Validators Proof-of-Stake
+
+2. Background: Legal / Compliance
+
+3. Process Summary Pool Verification per identity source
+
+   - a) Pool Owner / Holder: Option to attach verification data points to the pool
+
+   - b) How: Connect Stake-Pool metadata to one or more Digital Identifiers (DIDs)
+
+   - c) Data Points: Each of these data points stores information about a direct connection between the Stake-Pool operator and some sort of > identity source.
+
+   - d) This > identity source could be a
+     - d1) social account, examples: Twitter, Facebook, Discord, GitHub, Apple, LinkedIn, Twitch, Google, more;
+     - d2) Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Know-Your-Business (KYB); Level: identity checks in up to 20 modules per jurisdiction and industry sector incl. financial transactions,
+     - d3) any other source where an identity is directly linked to an account or something similar
+
+   - e) Visibility and Audit: The data points connected to the Stake-Pool are publicly visible and can be audited by anyone. Either manually or programmatically.
+
+   - f) Operator: The operator (HOLDER) can choose which identity data points he wants to connect to the pool,
+
+   - g) Delegator: The delegator (VERIFIER) can then choose if he trusts those data points (verifiable credentials) to stake with the pool or not.
+
+   - h) Product: The verified POOL owns a verifiable imprint with sources social media, KYC, KYB, other sources of reusable identity verification

+## Specification
+
+### Structure
+
+There are three different key components to this structure.
+
+| Component                    | Description                                                                                                           |
+| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| DID                          | The actual Decentralized Identity Document, where the information about the connected identity data points is stored. |
+| Extended Stake-Pool Metadata | This metadata segment is placed in the Extended Stake-Pool Metadata and defines the connection to the DID.            |
+
+#### 1. DID
+
+This is an example DID taken from the official [W3C specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/did-core/#did-syntaxg).
+To keep the scope reasonable, this CIP will not explain the DID specification deeper. Please refer to the W3C speciation as linked above.
+The only important thing to note is that inside the DID document, the payload will contain KYC/KYB imprint Data that were linked to the DID document.

+
+## Cross-Chain Compatibility
+
+To make this standard cross-chain compatible, it is possible to set the value of the src parameter under files to a unique identifier on another blockchain, where the DID might be located.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+To keep metadata compatible with changes coming up in the future, we use the **`version`** property.
+
+## Rationale
+The focus of this standard is on ease-of-use & flexibility. Using this standard, it is possible to reference DIDs not only on Cardano but at any arbitrary location, even cross-chain. It is also relatively simple to understand and implement because it borrows heavily from pre-existing metadata standards.
+
+## Path to Active
+
+By displaying this solution at the Catalyst Guild Hall, we hope to reach more creators that are willing to integrate this solution.
