Many open standards can support profile hydration:

Ariadne: map an email identifier to supported verified accounts.

The IndieWeb: map a webpage with h-card to any account, with less-robust reciprocal-link verification.

WebFinger: map an email-like identifier (an acct: URI) to a list of links.

vCard: upload a vCard containing profile information, possibly with “share contact”.

I think h-card-based hydration is the best place to start. We can later add support for more options:

Keyoxide profiles already contain h-card microformats, so we get that for free.h-card microformats can have u-key properties, potentially triggering an Ariadne-based verification of accounts enumerated by the h-card.h-card can map to vCard4

Depending on how keyoxide-web issue 141 goes, WebFinger could also indirectly give Keyoxide support.

@Seirdy delighted to welcome you on the #SocialCoding forum, and thanks for adding to the idea.

The #WebFinger endpoint to @keyoxide is also an interesting one.

@humanetech I really like @Seirdy 's idea too and should not be too hard to implement. My #webfinger knowledge is pretty limited but I assume we would add verified profiles to the "links" section?
