https://www.w3.org/ — 19 July 2022 — The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has announced that Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 is now an official Web standard. This new type of verifiable identifier, which does not require a centralized registry, will enable both individuals and organizations to take greater control of their online information and relationships while also providing greater security and privacy.
Interesting! I’m new to the W3C recommendation process, what might this recommendation do for the teams like Block building Web5 and TBD?
Not much really, it's just a stamp that specs get normally after going through a working group if they have 2 or more implementations
In this case some large companies objected to it, but that was overturned.

i believe this is exactly what Block is working on, their head of decentralized identity is quoted in the testimonials of the original link.
