DHS SVIP Blockchain/DLT/SSI Cohort - Multi-Product Phase 1 Interop Artifacts/ Scaffolding / Information

After the successful multi-platform interoperability plug-fest (7 independent platforms // 7 independent vendors) conducted last month across both multi-hop supply chain asset tracking and high value identity credential issuance and verification operational scenarios, there are two questions I am getting on a regular basis:


  1.  How can we apply to join the DHS/SVIP to work on these types of problem sets?

  2.  Where can we find the REAL information on what was actually done, including test suites, artifacts, standards/specification, APIs and more?

I hope this is useful.
This is only a start.
Much work remains, and we intend to continue working in public while contributing to the community and incorporating your input and feedback.
We hope you will contribute and add to the work so that it benefits and moves the ecosystem as a whole forward.
