A Blockchain Built for Decentralized Identity
A Verifiable Data Registry
The Dock Blockchain acts as an immutable registry containing the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) of all credential issuers. When verifying a credential, a Verifier will look up the Issuer's DID to see if it was truly that Issuer that signed that credential. This process is fully automated and seamless when using Dock’s Platform.
What goes on-chain
What does NOT go on-chain
Permissionless and Proof-of-Stake
Dock’s Substrate-based and Nominated Proof-of-Stake blockchain is scalable, resilient and environmentally friendly.
Consensus
The Dock Blockchain uses Web3 Foundation’s GRANDPA (GHOST-based Recursive Ancestor Deriving Prefix Agreement).
Validators
Entities who run a full node on the Dock network and are in charge of producing and finalizing blocks. Up to 50 validators participate concurrently, maintaining the integrity of the network, based on the amount of DOCK tokens staked.
Stakers
Staking tokens on the Dock Network helps to secure the network and provides rewards to token holders who participate.
Governance
Token Holders
Invited to vote on changes to the network including network functionality, actors in the network, reward and slashing rules, and Treasury spending.
Council Members
A group of individuals who are elected using Dock's open governance to make and implement proposals by controlling which (source code) upgrades are allowed on the network
Technical Committee
The TC can fast track on-chain governance proposals made by the Council.

Create your first Verifiable Credential today
Dock enables IDV providers and IAM systems to verify the same person across multiple businesses or siloed systems. It enables them to easily confirm that a user has been verified before, create a consistent view of that user’s identity and significantly reduce onboarding friction.
