## What it is
The official TypeScript SDK monorepo for the Verida Network, a decentralized network for self-sovereign identity and encrypted personal data. It provides a client library for web and Node.js apps, QR-code-based authentication via the Verida Vault, and helper packages for key management, encryption, and storage linking.

## Use cases
- integrate decentralized identity into a web application
- authenticate users with a QR code and the Verida Vault wallet
- store and share encrypted personal data in a dapp
- build a server-side Node.js app that signs Verida auth requests with a seed phrase
- add self-sovereign identity to a React Native mobile app
- manage asymmetric, symmetric, and signing keys for a decentralized account

## When to choose
- You are building a web, Node.js, or React Native app on the Verida Network
- You want wallet-style QR code login and encrypted data storage for users
- You need the maintained official SDK with keyring and encryption utilities included

## When to avoid
- You need a generic DID or wallet library for chains other than Verida's own network
- You want a self-hosted identity stack that does not depend on the Verida protocol
- Your toolchain cannot target Node 18 with the Yarn/Lerna monorepo build setup
