Each User can have *n* nodes. All users and their respective nodes have a Hedera account.

### DID and Verifiable Credentials

During the User registration with web2auth, the smartapp will create a Hedera account for the user, and a Decentralized ID. The DID will be stored in a Verifiable Credential NFT that is minted and transferred to the user wallet.

During the Device registration process, the smart app will create a Hedera account for the device. AGain a Verifiable Credential is minted and transferred to the device wallet. The smart app will also use the device private key and smart node multisig to create 3 Hedera consensus topics.

### Token Gated

The smartapp will verify the user and the devices using the verifiable credential that has been created and assigned to each one to ensure only authorised users and devices can access the platform and that the data collected is from a secure source.
