ReddID Auction System Documentation

Welcome to the official documentation for the ReddID Auction System. This comprehensive system implements digital identity management for the Reddcoin ecosystem through an innovative auction-based mechanism.

Core Components

The ReddID Auction System consists of three primary components:

  1. Namespace Auction System - The top-level auction system for namespaces
  2. User ID Auction System - The secondary system for auctioning user IDs within namespaces
  3. ReddID Profile System - The identity management system built on top of the auction infrastructure

System Architecture

ReddID System Architecture

The ReddID system implements a hierarchical approach to identity management:

  1. Namespaces (Top Level): Premium identifiers auctioned to establish governance over a particular domain
  2. User IDs (Second Level): Individual identifiers within a namespace, governed by namespace rules
  3. ReddIDs (Cross-Namespace): Core identities that can span multiple namespaces for consistent reputation
