Dock: Building a Gateway to Web3 with Verifiable Credentials
Dock is a platform that enables businesses and organizations to create tamper-proof documents using Verifiable Credentials (VC). These documents provide verifiable proof of authenticity and cannot be replicated or edited, ensuring the integrity of important records and certificates.
Key Features and Functionality
Dock's platform operates through a decentralized ecosystem with seven key stakeholders:
Identity Owners: Users with on-chain Decentralized Identity (DID).
Issuers: Entities that issue credentials via the Dock network, signing them with a DID for later verification.
Holders: Entities receiving credentials, able to create presentations from them.
Verifiers: Entities verifying the authenticity of documentation provided by holders.
Validators: Stakeholders running full nodes, producing and finalizing blocks.
Governing Council: Elected members responsible for Dock's platform governance, submitting and voting on proposals.
Revocation Authorities: Stakeholders authorized to revoke issued credentials.
DOCK Utility Token
The native cryptocurrency of the Dock platform, DOCK, serves several utility functions:
Transactions: Used for all transactions on the Dock Blockchain.
Validating and Staking: Validators stake DOCK to participate in network validation.
Network Governance: Token holders can vote on proposals for network changes and upgrades, with voting weight determined by the number of locked DOCK tokens.
Dock Blockchain and Technology
Dock's blockchain provides an open-source, decentralized, and low-cost platform for building Decentralized Identity and data applications for Web3. It uses Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) stored on the blockchain, enabling secure sign-ins and user data control. The blockchain is built on Substrate, using a hybrid consensus mechanism similar to Polkadot.
