As the digital economy matures, the need for verifiable, trustworthy organizational identity becomes urgent. Our new report, vLEI: The Dawn of Organizational Digital Identity, dives deep into one of the most important evolutions in digital trust infrastructure: the verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI).
This report outlines how the vLEI, governed by GLEIF and built on the KERI protocol, is solving long-standing problems of fraud, inefficiency, and interoperability in organizational identity. This is a field guide to the future of digital trust.
We explore:
• The limitations of current business identity systems
• Why platform-based approaches have failed
• How the vLEI provides a global, cryptographically verifiable, protocol-based identity solution
• Real-world pilots, startups and regulatory momentum in banking, healthcare, global trade, and national ID systems
With detailed research, exclusive insights from the Web of Trust Map, and a clear explanation of how vLEI credentials work in practice, this report is essential reading for regulators, enterprises, innovators, and policy thinkers navigating the decentralized identity space.
If you're building, investing in, or regulating the digital economy — you need to understand the vLEI.
