# DID Methods

\#DID Methods

The DID method specifies how DIDs and DID documents are created, resolved, updated, and deactivated. We recommend and use DID methods that allow for communication endpoints even if the use case doesn’t require them. Their presence will make innovation easier in the future. We also, generally, recommend and use DID methods that provide high durability through writing to a distributed ledger. Proven supports multiple DID methods, which promotes interoperability with multiple DID-based solutions.
