Generate a space for any interested individual or community where SSI/ DDI content and applications with the minimum technological tools to generate VCs for didactical or internal usage and applied sharing of knowledge are available at their disposal.

Provided that SSI initiatives can readily identify the trust triangle but often lack the governance authority or trust registry to complete the trust diamond, we would basically want to create an initial "informal space" to do so.

This first step would include the database with console management basics for issuing and verifying VCs. Hopefully as people within the Cardano environment start using the technology, communities and countries will do so too.

Our proposal aligns with:

Assuring trust and giving individuals control of their digital identities

Partnering with ecosystem, governance and working groups

Community interest and engagement

Awareness of Cardano inside the SSI community

Some directions that projects can take are: Trust registries

1. Inability to generate content and tools to generate trust
2. Lack of interest in a trust registry within the Cardano community
3. Failing to create strategic partnerships to generate growth and awareness

Partnership and collaboration with Andreas Sosilo from "DID for Cardano Indonesia Community" @andreassosilo

• We will be collaborating with a standard introductory course that upon completion, allows a community VC to be issued.
• Promote online events, portray partnerships and use cases from the community and experience from other countries.
• Promote and strengthen the collaboration and information sharing between several communities.

Partnership and collaboration with Lance from "Open Source Credential Wallet" @LanceB

• Partner with Rootswallet @rootsid to use their open source credential wallet as the holder.
• Please find their proposal here:

The project implementation will be realized at publicly available Gitbooks and embebed within the hosting site. Any user can follow up and audit ability. Additionally, a bi-weekly report will be published with project progress, major milestones and risk assessment.

If funded, we would work with our partners to create an accessible and standardized approach for any community to learn about and use the SSI/DID technologies.

Increasing awareness of the benefits and capabilities both in terms of identity and community with a large-scale distribution strategy would help accelerate inclusion and adoption of decentralized identity technology.

After not being funded in our first proposal, we present this revised version that incorporates comments, feedback, more succinct and oriented objectives.
