Following the announcement that Dock had received a grant from the Web3 Foundation to push forward our vision for a decentralized ecosystem producing blockchain-anchored verifiable claims, our core team has taken a deep-dive into Substrate and begun building out the foundation of the Dock Network.

As Dock continues moving toward complete decentralization we're excited to share a significant update that's been in the making for awhile. Following through on our previous commitment to the community, we are proud to announce that Dock is now fully open source!

Digital Claims are now being issued frequently across a variety of industries, exposing the need for user-centric, privacy-enhancing standards. Dock is improving zero-trust validation of data ownership, integrity, and validity for verifiable claims - empowering data owners and validators alike.

As the month of August ends we are excited to share significant updates about the Dock Network and our progress towards enabling an internet of trust through verifiable digital credentials. Our priority has been completing the milestones outlined in our grant from the Web3 Foundation.

As Dock pushes forward our vision for an internet of trust enabled through verifiable data, we are excited to announce our grant approval from the Web3 Foundation. This grant serves as a validation of our team and solution and is an opportunity to be a significant contributor to Polkadots ecosystem.

The team has been hard at work over the past few weeks improving the credential platform for both recipients & organizations while also preparing for the voting outcome of DGP-2. The major changes to the voting process mentioned in June's mid-month update also went live last week.

In our mid-month update for June we hinted at some upcoming changes to the voting process and governance at Dock. These changes went live today and have introduced a new process for voting and a major proposal to move Dock from Ethereum to Polkadot in the near future.

Our latest efforts have been aimed at continuing to improve the overall user experience- for those issuing digital credentials through Dock and for those receiving them. With that in mind, we're excited to share our last two weeks of progress in June's mid-month update.

The value created by digital credentials affects more than just the organizations issuing them- they also empower the recipients. By receiving and managing digital credentials, individuals gain control over their digital identities and are able to elevate the story of their professional journey.

Dock has a lot of work in progress and we’re introducing a mid-month update to keep our community aware of all updates. You can find our monthly updates in the Updates section of our blog, and expect an update half-way through each month as well as continuing with the monthly recap moving forward.

As adoption of Dock's all-in-one blockchain anchored digital credential solution grows, we want to make sure our community is growing right along with it. We've been working tirelessly to bring our work into the spotlight and it's vitally important that our progress is easily accessible.
