I'm super hyped to announce that Bluesky Socal PBC has given me a grant to work on the Federated Credential Management (or FedCM) standards to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

This is why I stepped up to be an Invited Expert with the W3C FedID Working Group earlier in the year. The missing part at that time was "how do I fund this work?" so I'm super happy that Bluesky Social PBC really came through with a grant to fund this work.

A really interesting thing that Bluesky Social PBC did here was they could have said "just make this work for AT Protocol" but instead they said "make this work for the entire decentralized web", and the contract explicitly states I should be working with the IndieAuth, Solid and other communities interested in federated and decentralized identity to make this happen.

RE: hachyderm.io/@thisismissem/116

This is great news for decentralized social. @thisismissemEmelia 👸🏻 has been doing great work on FedCM and OAuth for years and is now going to focus on bringing FedCM to protocols like Activity Pub and atproto. And this brings us one step closer to browser-based tools that can replace “Log in with your ${centralized_platform}”
