ChainCatcher News, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed two bills related to blockchain and DAOs on Wednesday, as the state seeks to further support the innovation of developing technologies.The first bill, HB 470, requires the Utah Department of Technology Services to launch a pilot program for on-chain digitally verifiable credentials to prevent unauthorized changes to electronic records. The pilot program will be established so that the government can utilize these credentials and report its progress to the Public Utilities, Energy, and Technology Interim Committee by October.The second bill, HB 357, aims to legally recognize DAOs that have not registered as for-profit or non-profit entities as domestic limited liability companies. The bill outlines the requirements for decentralized autonomous organizations to gain recognition from the state. It also lists the purposes for establishing a DAO while formally defining the membership requirements and inherent rights of DAO members. (Blockworks)

ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptoslate, for validators wishing to reclaim ETH staking rewards, as well as Ethereum Beacon Chain validators looking to stop supporting on-chain validation or withdraw their entire balance, it is essential to ensure that the withdrawal credentials are updated to the latest "0x01" standardized format.As of now, approximately 200,000 validators have updated on the Beacon Chain, which means that out of about 500,000 Ethereum Beacon Chain validators, around 300,000 validators have yet to update their credentials from the "0x00" format.

According to Chain Catcher news and reported by PR Newswire, Circle has partnered with projects like MetaMask and Archblock to establish the first proof of concept for "Know Your Business" (KYB) verification using Verite for decentralized digital identity credentials.Verite credentials are portable, interoperable, and easy to store in crypto wallets, while avoiding the sharing of personal identity information. Users have complete control over whether to accept the credentials and when and how to access their identification proof. Additionally, the same credentials can make it easier for protocols to prevent bad actors in the network and ensure community integrity by providing KYB certificates.It is reported that Circle plans to issue KYB certificates for free to its customers and licensed institutions. Previously, in February 2022, Circle launched Verite as an open-source framework for the issuance, custody, and verification of decentralized identity credentials. (prnewswire)
