cheqd Teams Up with Dock to Accelerate Global Decentralized Identity Adoption
Web3 data platform cheqd, which specializes in building trusted payment infrastructure for Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and digital credential businesses, has entered into a strategic partnership with Dock, another blockchain platform to form a strategic alliance.
According to a press release issued on Wednesday, September 18, the collaboration aims to boost the global adoption of Decentralized Identity (DID) solutions.
Token Unification to Power Joint Network
As part of the partnership, Dock will migrate its infrastructure, including Dock Certs and its client base, to the cheqd network to build a single protocol.
Despite the integration, both platforms will continue to operate independently, with only Dock’s native token, DOCK, merging with cheqd’s CHEQ to create a unified digital asset.
cheqd announced that the token unification is intended to speed up the adoption of DID solutions. The merged CHEQ will become the utility token that powers all activity on the joint cheqd-Dock network.
cheqd revealed that the collaboration will bring significant growth to both platforms, with the formation of a powerful community of over 100,000 members and hundreds of active partners working together.
According to the release, the partnership is expected to deliver scalable solutions across industries ranging from finance and identity providers to government services, benefiting both traditional and Web3 sectors.
The joint network will support a variety of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and offer multi-SDK integration, along with open-source tools like DIF Registrar & Resolver, Credo, Veramo, Walt.id, and Vidos (Mailchain). These resources will allow developers to explore wide-ranging integration possibilities and build decentralized applications.
Both networks plan to remain committed to adhering to international regulatory frameworks, such as the European Digital Identity Framework as well as the eIDAS 2.0, to ensure full compliance across their platforms.
A Combined Effort to Drive DID Growth
cheqd disclosed in the press release that the primary purpose of forming the new alliance with Dock is solely to promote the adoption of decentralized identity solutions. Both platforms plan to combine resources to ensure that the blockchain data protection sector is widely accepted and trusted by users globally.
The Web3 data platform will bring its expertise in developing end-to-end credential ecosystems and trusted data markets, while Dock will concentrate on enabling identity solution providers, such as KYC, background check, and biometric companies, to create and monetize verifiable digital credentials.
Individually, both platforms have seen strong growth, and together, they plan to become a driving force in the global adoption of digital verification solutions.
Strengthening the Digital Verification Ecosystem
cheqd’s Web3 platform already supports over 80,000 individual wallet addresses, enabling users to take full control of their personal data. More than 200 organizations have also integrated its solutions into their businesses, attracted by the platform’s focus on privacy-preserving credential payments, regulatory compliance, and ease of integration.
Dock, on the other hand, offers a comprehensive decentralized identity solution with a robust API, intuitive web application, and secure ID wallet infrastructure. So far, Dock Certs has attracted over 600 companies, which are utilizing its decentralized ID capabilities.
The partnership is led by experienced teams from both platforms. cheqd CEO and Co-Founder, Fraser Edwards, has extensive knowledge in self-sovereign identity and led the Known Traveller Digital Identity initiative with the World Economic Forum.
Meanwhile, Dock CEO, Nick Lambert, and COO, Elina Cadouri, bring significant blockchain and entrepreneurial expertise to the table, with Cadouri having built successful platforms like Outsource.comand Remote.com.
