Project Health

LF Decentralized Trust CREDEBL LFX Insights Dashboard

This project is a new project so the contribution activity is not as high as other projects. However, We have already seen some new contributors started exploring and the PRs are getting through.

Maintainer Diversity

Help Required

LF Decentralized Trust can help with the following: - Promote the CREDEBL project within the LF Decentralized Trust community - Help with the workshops

Project Lifecycle Status Recommendation

The CREDEBL is already used in production with large scale deployments at a national level in various sectors such as National ID, Travel, Education, etc. However, based on the earlier suggestions from TAC, we will focus on increasing the maintainer diversity through LFDT events such as webinars, workshops. We hope to see improvement in the contributor diversity with the new TSC formation.
