TL;DR, Hypersign initiated an important node upgrade proposal for eliminating duplication of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). The World Wide Web Consortium recognized our did:hid method, underlining our commitment to SSI. We launched HackiD, an innovative hackathon to expand Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) knowledge. The event started with workshops across India, and we're now welcoming submissions.
Technical Updates
A governance proposal for a node upgrade has been put forward and submitted to the Hypersign Identity Network (https://explorer.hypersign.id/hypersign-testnet/gov/11). This upgrade introduces a vital feature, conceptualized from our customer feedback, who is using Hypersign's Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) to construct a Web3 Reputation System.
The new feature mandates that a blockchain address already associated with a DID Document cannot be added to another DID Document unless it's removed from the original DID Document or the said Document is deactivated. This approach effectively prevents the possibility of dual reputation scoring for DID Documents.
Recognition
We are excited to announce a significant achievement for Hypersign — our did:hid method has been officially recognized and accepted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This demonstrates our unwavering commitment and continuous efforts to broaden the scope of W3C DiD core specifications to cover Web3 use cases.
W3C's acceptance of the did:hid method aligns with Hypersign's mission to empower the web3 ecosystem by creating technology that helps manage self-sovereign identity in a decentralized way. It reaffirms our contribution to the evolution of digital identity management and further solidifies our position as pioneers in the SSI and Blockchain field.

Outreach
As the month began, Hypersign was gearing up for a long-term initiative called Hack
iD. This innovative hackathon is a cornerstone of our mission to empower the web3 ecosystem through education and the growth of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) knowledge. HackiD is a hackathon launched by Hypersign in association with Dojima Network; a hackathon is a two-month event between 10th June and 15th August.Bengaluru Workshop — 10th June
Our journey began in Bengaluru, the heart of India's tech hub. This is where we kicked off Hack
iD with a grand inauguration. The Hypersign team, in collaboration with Dojima and our workspace partner Bhive Workspace, ignited the spark for this exciting journey. The workshop in Bengaluru was filled with memorable moments and engaging discussions.Images from the Bengaluru workshop here:
This marked the start of a succession of IRL developer workshops across major cities in India aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of SSI in the web3 ecosystem.
Hyderabad Workshop — 17th June
The second workshop took place in Hyderabad. The city's dynamic tech environment provided the perfect backdrop for another successful Hack
iD event. Images from the Hyderabad workshop here:Mumbai Workshop — 24th June
The momentum continued to build as we moved to Mumbai for the third workshop. The enthusiasm and innovative spirit of the attendees were palpable during the session.

Delhi Workshop — 1st July
We concluded our series of workshops in Delhi, where the excitement for the Hack
iD hackathon reached new heights. We've captured some of the best moments from this session:After the successful completion of these workshops, a significant milestone was reached on the 4th of July. On this day, the Hypersign and Dojima teams convened to launch the Hack officially
iD hackathon on the Dorahacks platform. HackiD was kicked off with an opening ceremony on 4th July; you can view it here in case you missed it:
