cheqd announces multiple partnerships with market leading self-sovereign identity vendors ahead of mainnet launch

Published

on

 

cheqd, a technology company building a decentralised network enabling individuals and organisations to take full control of their data, has partnered with market leading self-sovereign identity (SSI) vendors ahead of its mainnet launch in the coming days.

SSI or decentralised identity, is an emerging disruptive technology for the exchange of authentic and trusted data, including people and companies in a more secure manner, giving individuals ownership and control over their own data. Gartner recognises SSI’s disruption of identity: “Decentralised identity (DI) and privacy-enhanced verifiable claims/credentials will disrupt identity… They reinvent business processes to enable new business models and the creation of new data marketplaces.”

cheqd’s network is built for SSI vendors to disrupt established identity paradigms and create new authentic data marketplaces. Each SSI vendor will utilise cheqd’s network for payment rails, never-seen-before commercial models, open standards and interoperability within a decentralised governance framework to advance their commercial strategies and technical roadmaps.

The companies partnering with cheqd are as follows:
