Open sourcing?
This week you may have seen we’ve been sharing a load of content on what we’ve been OpenSourcing over on twitter. At cheqd, contributing back to the Web3 and SSI community is a shared belief across the team. We see it as one of our foundational principles.?
Over the past six months we’re thrilled with the progress we’ve made in taking our network, which went live in November 2021, from a newby on the block in the Cosmos Ecosystem to a mature and robust network which we believe has the power to make waves in Cosmos, the Web3 world and far far beyond.?
Next week we’re sharing a full write-up of this so keep an eye out for this. ?
Speaking
This week Fraser and Ankur have been doing a great job of getting the cheqd name further out to the world.?
