First Steps of the PLC Organization – Independent Public Ledger of Credentials

14 4 One year ago, Bluesky Social PBC announced their intention to facilitate the creation of an independent organization to operate the Public Ledger of Credentials (PLC) directory.

We are happy to announce the Public Ledger of Credentials Organization now formally exists, and has taken the first administrative steps towards being able to independently operate the directory!

The PLC directory is a system that collects and distributes updates to AT Protocol accounts, which are identified by random-looking strings like did:plc:i65vdx4ylh5ahdjyd7f2gpnp . Updates include an account's handle (@plcred.org) and the choice of PDS hosting that account's data.
