At @Google, we are moving from a writing‑first culture to a building‑first one.

Writing was a proxy for clear thinking, optimized for scarce eng resources and long dev cycles - you had to get it right before you built.

Now, when time to vibe-code prototype ≈ time to write PRD, PMs can SHOW not tell. Role profiles are blurring, creativity and building are happening in parallel.

Congrats to all the @cheqd_io #vAI hackathon winners!! Some outstanding entries which caught us totally by surprise!

And big thanks to @DoraHacks, @Verida_io, @SPRITEPlus as well as our excellent judges: @ankurb, @EEAnder1, with support from @EHotta and @Tweetddale!

Looking forward to highlighting these across the next days and weeks!

We have been experimenting with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to improve AI's grasp of decentralized identity. LLMs like Claude are strong but lack built-in context. Our aim: allow them to resolve @cheqd_io DIDs and handle verifiable credentials. https://t.co/aJvx1XJfPW

Thanks to the all the partners and validators on our network, we had consensus restored in approx. 15 minutes on this upgrade to v3.x. We’ll continue working with the remaining validators to help them upgrade.

There’s a lot of ideas we have cooking for the roadmap for 2025. This will be the year of decentralised identity x AI. 💪🏽

[Ross Power @rosspower]

@ankurb Love the speed! Congrats team - a big update and masterfully led throughout by @EEAnder1

Also I know how big this is for what it’s leading to 👀👀

Go get it 💪

[Tasos Derisiotis @EEAnder1]

A very good job, indeed!

Congrats!

The @DecentralizedID Hackathon is over! 🏆 Our cheqd challenge on #VerifiableAI #vAI has received an overwhelming amount of entries. We’re thrilled to announce the winning solution, the VAI chatbot.🍾

[Tasos Derisiotis @EEAnder1]

Always a pleasure to meet / collaborate with the @LitProtocol team!

Smart, hardworking + innovative.

[Ankur Banerjee @ankurb]

Great to meet the @LitProtocol team in person at #Devcon2024! One of the smartest teams we’ve worked with, and I really haven’t seen *any* solid competitors to what they do.

[Tasos Derisiotis @EEAnder1]

Come say hi!

[cheqd.io 🆔 @cheqd_io]

🎉The cheqd team @ankurb @EEAnder1 @DaevMithran are at @EFDevcon this week! Excited to connect on digital identity solutions as we join the Ethereum community in driving decentralised innovation. 👋If you're here, come say hi!

Follow @ankurb for live insights on #Devcon2024!

So much content generation and the quality seems to be improving exponentially! 🤩😬

It’s why we at @cheqd_io are so excited to see adoption of content credentials and to be members of @C2PA_org and @ContentAuth

Knowing content’s origin and path will be crucial and valuable! 💰

[Ankur Banerjee @ankurb]

Proud to have @cheqd_io as one of the sponsors for the @DecentralizedID Hackathon running in October (and nice to see some familiar faces like @AnonyomeLabs and @vidos_id as sponsors as well!)

We're excited to set our challenge as Harnessing Decentralized Identity for Verifiable AI, as we see this as an emerging area of risks and opportunities such as Content Credentials, credentials for dataset quality, proof-of-personhood, and proof-of-approved-AI-agent add more trust in an age where AI is ever more present.

We have two prizes:
$5,000 worth of $CHEQ tokens for the best entry
$2,500 worth of $CHEQ tokens for the runners-up entry

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Getting lucky in life boils down to two processes: figuring out what habits will push you towards a healthier, smarter, calmer version of yourself; then figuring out how you can maintain those habits for as long as you can, regardless of what life throws at you.
