Decentralized identity for tokenization

    DITO: Decentralized Identity for Tokenization

    DITO is an open identity framework designed to make compliance, accreditation and investor verification portable across tokenization platforms, exchanges and digital applications.

    The challenge

    Tokenized assets still lack a shared identity standard

    Existing decentralized identity approaches often create friction instead of interoperability.

    Vendor lock-in

    Identity and compliance information can become restricted to one provider or platform.

    Fragmented verification

    Investors may need to repeat identity and accreditation checks across different platforms.

    Limited interoperability

    Token issuers, exchanges, wallets and applications cannot easily share verified identity information.

    The DITO framework

    Portable identity and verifiable credentials

    DITO uses Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials to let users prove relevant information without repeatedly sharing all of their personal data.

    1. 01

      Identity creation

      A user receives a unique decentralized identifier.

    2. 02

      Verification

      An approved issuer performs KYC, accreditation or another required check.

    3. 03

      Credential issuance

      The user receives a reusable Verifiable Credential.

    4. 04

      Secure access

      Platforms and applications verify the credential before granting access to tokenized assets.

    Ecosystem participants

    Three roles form the DITO framework

    Issuer

    An organization that verifies information and issues credentials, such as a KYC or accreditation provider.

    Identity Holder

    The investor or user who owns and presents their verified credentials.

    Verifier

    A tokenization platform, exchange or application that checks the credential before granting access.

    User experience

    Verify once, reuse across the ecosystem

    • The user joins a participating platform.
    • The user completes verification with an approved issuer.
    • The user receives a Verifiable Credential.
    • The user accesses permissioned tokenized assets.
    Technology

    Built for privacy and interoperability

    Decentralized Identifiers

    Each identity is represented by a unique decentralized identifier.

    Verifiable Credentials

    Verified information is represented through portable digital credentials.

    Privacy-preserving proofs

    Zero-knowledge proof technology can reduce unnecessary exposure of personal data.

    Open integrations

    The framework can support different KYC providers, wallets, tokenization platforms and compatible blockchain networks.

    Roadmap

    From framework to ecosystem adoption

    01

    Initial framework

    Develop the credential model and establish the first technical integrations.

    02

    Ecosystem participation

    Work with KYC providers, tokenization platforms, exchanges, wallets and application developers.

    03

    Broader adoption

    Expand accreditation checks, network compatibility and support for additional market participants.
