Building a Sovereign Digital Future Rooted in Trust.
Bhutan NDI is the world's first national identity system built on the principles of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). Inspired by the vision of His Majesty the King, we are building a decentralized trust ecosystem that empowers citizens, government, and the private sector to interact securely in a digital-first economy.
- Self-Sovereignty: Users have total control over their personal data and digital credentials.
- Privacy by Design: Utilizing Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to share only what is necessary (Need-to-Know basis).
- Decentralized Trust: Moving from centralized silos to a distributed ledger architecture to eliminate single points of failure.
We are at the forefront of Web 3.0 implementation for public infrastructure:
- Blockchain: Anchored on the distributed ledger for maximum security and decentralization.
- Standards: Built using W3C Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).
- Protocols: Implementing DIDComm and Aries Framework for secure peer-to-peer communication.
- platform: Core decentralized identity and verifiable credentials platform.
- agent-controller: Backend orchestration service that manages identity agent interactions and business logic for the Bhutan NDI decentralized identity ecosystem.
- mediator: An Aries-compliant DIDComm mediator.
We collaborate with global innovators to refine the standards of digital identity.
“Visions for the future must be grounded in strong foundational values.”
