Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF), Trust Over IP (ToIP)
Foundation, W3C Credentials Community Group (W3C CCG), W3C
Decentralized Identifier Working Group (W3C DID WG), and other leading

DIDs. The leaders of these organizations are committed to continued
standardization enabling robust DID-based ecosystems and have
partnered to accelerate this work.

The leaders of DIF, ToIP, W3C CCG, W3C DID WG, and other key
organizations have jointly developed a Letter of Intent outlining our
