At Dock we are striving to create a decentralized, self-sovereign ecosystem for providing open, blockchain-anchored verifiable claims. We see the value in widespread, friction-less data sharing because it allows everyone to speak a common language useful for quickly exchanging trusted information.

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.

At Dock we're committed to enabling an internet of trust by producing verifiable data and returning its control to owners. Our focus remains on building out the pieces necessary for the main-net launch of the Dock blockchain and increasing the involvement of our community as we transition to a DAO.

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.

We’re thrilled to share we have released Dock’s credential issuing platform. Organizations can now issue blockchain-anchored credentials to members, students and employees, empowering them with a lifelong digital asset. The following bulletpoints highlight the current features of the platform.

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.
