With the launch of Bhutan’s National Digital Identity, Bhutan became the first country to roll out an SSI-based decentralized national identity at a population scale. True pioneers! 

The Bhutan NDI team will be welcomed to Identity Week Asia on 22-23 November to deliver a keynote speech and take questions about their incredible pace to self-sovereignty. Find them in our Expo across the two days. 

And more news this week as the SSI system has migrated from distributed ledger to Polygon Blockchain, marking a “significant upgrade” of security and performance. Its protocol layer has also switched to an open-source decentralized identity management platform.
