Dock (DOCK) is a blockchain platform that allows the creation of standards-compliant, scalable, and cost-effective applications for issuing and verifying credentials. The platform aims to solve the fundamental problems of existing data solutions, such as unreliable and erroneous data, platform incompatibilities, data verification inefficiencies, and an inability to control confidentiality for users. Dock provides a one-stop-shop for creating decentralized identities (DIDs) and creating, managing, and presenting credentials.

Decentralized identity is a concept that gives individuals back their identities by obtaining verifiable information about themselves from certified issuers via an identity wallet. With Dock's platform, individuals can take control of their identities and their data, providing transparent and tamper-proof traceability and blockchain anchoring for time-specific data, thanks to the platform's industry-standard and widely used cryptographic algorithms.

Dock's platform is accessible and uncensorable across its technology, network, and governance, operating across markets and industries to enable a decent future driven by safe, individually-owned verified identities. It allows any organization or developer to issue via Dock, fostering engagement and development by balancing rewards across all network participants, including issuers, token holders, and the platform's association.

DOCK is the platform's utility token, needed to execute network functions such as creating a decentralized identity (DID), withdrawing and attaching credentials, and constructing schemas to organize credentials. The token fosters engagement and development by enabling the network to govern in a free and fair manner. Token holders can engage in the platform's association by submitting open proposals, voting on the network's development, and selecting board members.

Dock's platform uses the Proof of Stake algorithm, wherein token holders can vote on proposed network modifications by locking up their tokens on the platform. DOCK has a total supply of one million tokens. The Dock Association, a decentralized non-profit organization, was founded by the platform to supervise the network's roadmap and promotion, establish, and governance.

Dock's co-founders, Nick Lambert and Elina Cadouri, established the platform in 2017. Nick has been involved in the blockchain industry since 2011, and Elina has a career in data network startups. The platform recently enabled smart contract deployment in the first quarter of 2021 and aims to launch its mobile wallet soon.

Dock's platform offers a unique solution to identity and data verification, providing individuals with control over their identities while enabling businesses and organizations to issue and verify credentials efficiently and effectively. With its scalable and cost-effective applications, Dock is set to revolutionize the way credentials are issued and verified, creating a better, decentralized future for all.
