RE: Decentralized identity leaders partner to accelerate DID method standardization

This is great to hear!



Even better to see the proactive and joint leadership demonstrated by W3C, DIF and ToIP who, as noted in the blog post, have been “… instrumental to the growth and success of DIDs”.



Looking forward to learning more, contributing our use cases for DIDs to the relevant workstreams, and hopefully leveraging the results of the work.
