The Chainpoint Community Group<\/a> has been launched:<\/p>\n

\n

The mission of this group is to establish a standard for creating a universally verifiable proof of any data, file, or series of events, by anchoring data to the blockchain and other sources. This allows anyone to prove the data existed at a point in time and has not been modified.<\/p>\n

The group will publish and formalize the Chainpoint specification<\/a> as a stable reference, maintain a test suite, and take feedback and use cases for the future evolution for the specification.<\/p>\n

The Chainpoint Community Group will coordinate with the Blockchain Community Group<\/a> for general standardization of blockchain-related technology, and will operate according to the Chainpoint CG charter<\/a>. You can read more about Chainpoint, its history, and goals, on our recent blog post announcing Chainpoint 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This group invites participants who are actively developing and deploying proof-of-existence, timestamping, and data integrity solutions, who are skilled in blockchain technologies, and who can work on use cases for Chainpoint and related technologies.<\/p>\n

\n

In order to join the group<\/a>, you will need a W3C account<\/a>. Please note, however, that W3C Membership<\/a> is not required to join a Community Group.<\/p>\n

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2016-09-13 by Wayne Vaughan. The following people supported its creation: Wayne Vaughan, Doug Schepers, Jason Bukowski, Tom Kysar, Manu Sporny. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.<\/p>\n

The group must now choose a chair<\/a>. Read more about how to get started in a new group<\/a> and good practice for running a group<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.<\/p>\n

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org<\/a><\/p>\n
