🍪 Information Bites 🍪 Attestation: - Within the decentralized architecture, we can achieve validity with less trust. To achieve validity with reduced trust, we need a system for validation. In KILT, we accomplish this through Attestations. ✅ - Attestations involve the act of providing evidence or confirming the validity of the data within a claim, typically performed by a trusted attester. 🔍👍 Attester: - We previously discussed Claimers, but to validate claim data, we need to involve another party that can gather trust and privacy. This entity is the Attester! 🕵️‍♀️🔒 - Attesters are entities that ensure the accuracy of certain statements. They examine claims made by other entities and only approve those that are true, issuing a certification. However, there may be dishonest attesters who approve false statements as well. Attesters play a critical role in building trust and establishing the authenticity of information and data shared between parties. 🏛️💪 - Attesters have a direct connection with the KILT Chain. When they sign the claim, they need to submit the attestation hash to the KILT Blockchain. Because of this, they should have an on-chain DID. ⛓️💼 - Trust is the bread and butter of attesters. Anyone can be an attester, but attesters should strive to gather more trust and, consequently, more work. 🤝💼 - Verifiers decide whether to trust an attester or not. If you are a widely trusted attester, you can be approved as a validator. With more validators, you receive more work and more attestation fees. ✅💼 With KILT's distributed trust you can start controlling your own data. Claim Independence! 🙌✨
