Can cordentity be used for production and at scale? With more ~3 million accounts and 100K nodes running?

Hi Nathan,

Thank you for question. Yes, it's possible. However, you should keep in mind that Hyperledger Indy is in incubator right now. Thus it has number of limitations, e.g it's not ready to be run on mobile devices or production network doesn't exist.

So, if you are going to set Business to Business connection it's totally applicable. In this case Corda node is an edge agent which holds company's indy wallets. You can scale it to any number of accounts. Cordentity can be use to issue a schema, definition and credential itself.

But it's different If you would like to connect individuals. A person has to hold private data securely on mobile device. There are 2 approaches here: person partially delegates control to edge agent or the protocol should be split. It mean that proof/verification flows should be suspended until the person accept the verification request.

Our team works on running indy on mobile devices.
