What is the MyData Award?
Every year, MyData recognizes organizations worldwide making meaningful contributions to a fair, sustainable, and prosperous digital society. Rooted in the MyData Declaration, these awards honor efforts prioritizing individual control over personal data and promoting ethical data practices. ArcBlock’s win in the Technology category highlights our role in developing cutting-edge solutions that advance this vision.
According to the award notification from MyData Global:
“ArcBlock, Inc.'s nomination stood out among a very high volume of excellent submissions, and this award recognises your organisation's meaningful and demonstrable contributions towards realising the vision of the MyData Declaration.”
A Legacy of Excellence
This isn’t our first celebration with MyData Global. In 2023, we were proud to be named a MyData Operator for our work with DID Spaces, recognizing our success in operationalizing human-centric data principles. This year's win in the Technology category specifically honors the innovative tools we've built upon that operational foundation, showcasing our consistent commitment to excellence and innovation in personal data management.
What This Means for ArcBlock and Our Community
This award affirms our vision to create a decentralized, user-centric internet. For our users, partners, and community, it’s a commitment that they’re part of a movement that values their rights and privacy above all else.
Matt McKinney, Growth at ArcBlock, stated:
“We're honored to receive the MyData Award for Technology 2025. This recognition reflects the hard work of the ArcBlock team and continuous support of our leadership and community. We’re more committed than ever to pushing the boundaries of decentralized technology for a human-centric future.”
Looking Ahead
We plan to celebrate this achievement alongside fellow awardees at the MyData Awards Ceremony in June 2025 and join other companies at this year's MyData 2025 Conference. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
