Bintray services, excluding ConanCenter and JCenter, were discontinued as of May 1, 2021, prompting a focus on ensuring trust through a decentralized Web of Trust (WoT) model for verifying digital identities. To achieve this, Bintray allows developers to link their profiles with social media accounts like Twitter, GitHub, and Google+, using OAuth to authenticate their identities. This process helps users confirm the authenticity of the developers and their packages, fostering trust in the files they download. JFrog emphasizes the importance of having comprehensive information about libraries and their authors to enable informed decisions regarding trustworthiness.
