Congratulations Manu and the Digital Bazaar team! The existence of a production grade, easily deployable, verification infrastructure for W3C VCDM based credentials under an open source license, such that anyone can pick up, deploy and use it is indeed a VERY GOOD THING for the decentralized identity ecosystem that utilizes W3C standards -- globally! I personally love the fact that the entity that had the ".. foresight to create, fund, and see such an initiative through to completion" is a public sector organization like the California DMV. Kudos to Steve, Ajay and the rest of the CA DMV team! Needless to say, I also congratulate them in having the foresight to support the issuance and use of a digital driver's license in both the mDL format (ISO 18013-5) AND in the W3C VCDM format to serve their broader customer needs; which also serves as a great example!
