Customize Identity

You can fully customize the identity document. All fields are optional; sensible defaults are applied if omitted. Accepted options and types:

id: string (default: generated from your address)
controller: string (default: same as id)
verificationMethods: array of objects { id: string, type: string, controller: string, publicKeyMultibase: string }
authentications: array of strings (verification method references)
services: array of objects { id: string, type: string, serviceEndpoint?: string, data?: string }
signature: object { type: string, issuer: string, hash: string }
name: string (stored on-chain; default: did:peaq:<address>)
tx_options, on_status: transaction options/callback

Example (custom fields):

from peaq_robot import PeaqRobot
from peaq_robot.types import TxOptions, ConfirmationMode

sdk = PeaqRobot()

res = sdk.id.create_identity(
    name=f"identity:{sdk.address}",
    id=f"identity:{sdk.address}",
    controller=f"identity:{sdk.address}",
    verificationMethods=[{
        "id": f"identity:{sdk.address}#keys-1",
        "type": "Sr25519VerificationKey2020",
        "controller": f"identity:{sdk.address}",
        "publicKeyMultibase": sdk.id.keypair.public_key.hex(),
    }],
    authentications=[f"identity:{sdk.address}#keys-1"],
    services=[
        {"id": "#telemetry", "type": "RobotService", "data": "v1"}
    ],
    signature={
        "type": "Sr25519VerificationKey2020",
        "issuer": sdk.address,
        "hash": "demo",
    },
    tx_options=TxOptions(mode=ConfirmationMode.FAST),
)
print(res)

# Read back the final on-chain document (decoded if available)
doc = sdk.id.read_identity()
print(doc["decoded_data"])  # includes id, controller, verificationMethods, authentications, services, signature

Notes:

If you only want the minimal document, you can omit all fields; defaults are applied.
Services support either serviceEndpoint or compact data for small payloads.
For FINAL confirmation and status logs, pass tx_options and on_status.
