Further to the release of our Northill testnet and completion of our schema and interop milestones, Dock (https://www.dock.io/) - a blockchain solution that enables businesses and developers to create verifiable credentials - is moving to the next stage of our development, the decentralization of the infrastructure on which Dock runs.

Until now, the sentry and validator nodes that power the current test network are provided by Dock. However, the network is now almost ready to bring on board validators to contribute resources to the network and we are seeking expressions of interest from validators wishing to participate in this first validator testnet and beyond.

If you would like to become a validator please visit our validator docs (https://docs.dock.io/validators) where you can find out more about; token distribution, technical requirements, existing validator tooling and the onboarding process amongst other things. Validators interested in becoming a validator should fill out this short online form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc_jjdscJCF9l8hyYnsIa45_EDQ22zk9jiVQiTZI7THb8ozWw/viewform) and the team at Dock will respond within 1 to 2 weeks.
