In this session of the Cardano Developer Office Hours, Thomas Kammerlocher and Fergal O’Connor present CIP-170, a proposal introducing KERI-backed metadata attestations for Cardano, and explore its practical implementation within Reeve. They examine the motivation behind the proposal, why KERI is well suited for decentralized identity and metadata integrity, the design principles shaping CIP-170, real-world implementation details in Reeve, and how these attestations enable verifiable, tamper-resistant metadata workflows, and more.
