The Hashgraph Group (THG) has launched a new self-sovereign identity (SSI) platform, named IDTrust, aiming to reshape how digital identity is managed across governments and enterprises.
IDTrust Built on Hedera Blockchain with AI Integration
The platform is powered by Hedera’s Consensus Service and leverages artificial intelligence to allow individuals and organizations to create, manage, and verify credentials in a secure, decentralized way.
Unlike traditional ID systems, IDTrust removes the need for centralized authorities and gives users complete control over their personal data.
One of the platform’s core innovations is its stateless design, meaning it doesn’t require Hedera validators to store historical data—an advantage over alternatives like Polygon and Ethereum that must maintain full ledgers of past transactions.
Full Data Control Gives IDTrust a Competitive Edge
IDTrust supports complete decentralization by eliminating the need to hold Hedera tokens or use a specific key structure, making it highly flexible for integration into government and enterprise systems.
“IDTrust enables both authentication and authorization, making it more comprehensive than competitors like Polygon ID or Worldcoin,” said THG’s leadership.
It adopts a decentralized trust model, offering a clear alternative to centralized digital identity solutions like Microsoft Entra. Users can issue verifiable credentials, including for proof of identity, driving licenses, or citizenship, and use them selectively based on application needs.
Switzerland’s Digital ID Push Supports IDTrust Compatibility
The platform launch aligns with Switzerland’s ongoing digital identity initiative, which began public consultations in June 2025 to define national e-ID regulations. Built on W3C standards, the Swiss system is expected to integrate seamlessly with IDTrust.
The IDTrust wallet will support Swiss verifiable credentials, giving citizens secure access to government services.
With governments in Europe and Asia accelerating digital ID frameworks, IDTrust is positioned as a global leader in decentralized identity infrastructure.
