GDPR Compliant
Decentralized Identifier System
for Research & Cultural Heritage Data
Sovereign data infrastructure for research institutions
Built for Sovereign Data
Enterprise grade infrastructure combining GDPR compliance, decentralized identifiers, and AI-powered knowledge extraction for research and heritage data.
GDPR & Privacy First
Full compliance with EU data protection regulations. Fine-grained consent management, data portability, and right-to-erasure built into the core architecture.
W3C Decentralized Identifiers
Standards-compliant DIDs with post-quantum cryptographic security. Persistent, resolvable identifiers for research datasets and cultural artifacts.
