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.

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.
