Verifying a counterparty today
takes days, not seconds.

Two parties need to transact. Here's what it actually takes to check each other.

Today

Fragmented trust

1. Check authorisation
Different API per regulator. Some publish CSVs monthly. Others use PDF lists on websites.
2. Screen sanctions & verify entity
XML feeds, separate LEI lookups, cross-references with bank IDs. Every source has its own format and auth.
3. Exchange keys & monitor
Bilateral key exchange per partner. Poll each source on different schedules. No real-time alerts.

2. Verify instantly
Every response is cryptographically signed. Tamper-proof and machine-verifiable without contacting the source.
3. Subscribe once
Get push notifications the moment anything is revoked or updated. Works for every counterparty, globally.

DeDi = DNS for Trust. One lookup to verify anyone, anywhere, instantly.

How it works
Three steps. Any registry.
From publishing to verification — no blockchain knowledge required.
01
Publish
Upload your registry via the dashboard or API. Records are cryptographically signed and anchored automatically.
Who publishes

Governments, regulators, central banks, trade associations, certificate authorities

02
Discover
Anyone can look up any record with a single API call. Results arrive in under 200ms from distributed infrastructure.
What's discoverable

Public keys, membership lists, licenses, revocation records

03
Verify
Every lookup result carries tamper-proof evidence. Systems can confirm authenticity automatically, without contacting the original source.
Who verifies

Applications, compliance systems, AI agents, other registries, humans

What organisations publish
Five types of verifiable registries.
01

Membership lists

Publish your member directory so anyone can verify membership in milliseconds. No more phone calls, spreadsheets, or outdated PDFs.
Example: A trade association publishes its member firms. A bank verifies a counterparty's membership before settling a transaction.
02

Public key registries

Make your organisation's signing keys globally discoverable. No bilateral exchange, no incompatible formats. Key rotations propagate instantly.
Example: A certificate authority publishes root keys. Any relying party discovers and verifies them without manual onboarding.
03

Policy registries

Publish regulatory requirements in formats that systems can automatically parse and enforce. No more manual interpretation of PDF regulations.
Example: A regulator publishes data residency rules. Platforms auto-enforce them without compliance teams manually updating configurations.
04

Revocation lists

Revoke credentials, suspend licenses, or recall certificates — and every relying party is notified in real-time. No more stale data.
Example: A license board suspends a practitioner. Every platform checking that license is alerted instantly, not on the next monthly CSV refresh.
05

AI agent registries

Register AI agents with verifiable identity, capabilities, and authorization. Let any system confirm an agent's legitimacy before granting access.
Example: An enterprise publishes its approved AI agents. Partner systems verify agent identity and permissions before accepting automated requests.
Not limited to these five. DeDi supports any type of public registry — issuers define their own schema and publish whatever registry they need.

Why DeDi
Universal digital infrastructure.
01

No single point of failure

Registries are replicated across a distributed network. No vendor lock-in, no downtime dependency on any single organisation.

99.99% uptime SLA
02

Tamper-proof by design

Every record carries a cryptographic signature from the publisher. Verification is instant and works without contacting the original source.

<200ms verification time
03

Works everywhere

One protocol for all public registries — across sectors, jurisdictions, and use cases. From governments to startups.

Open standard & protocol

Do I need blockchain knowledge?

No. If you can upload a file, you can use DeDi. All cryptographic complexity is handled automatically.

Is this only for financial services?

No. DeDi works for any public registry — healthcare, legal, supply chain, government, education, and more.

What about private data?

DeDi is for public registries only. All data published should already be publicly available information.

DeDi (Decentralized Directory) is infrastructure that transforms traditional public registries into instantly verifiable directories. Think of it as DNS for trust — a universal lookup layer for any public information your organisation needs to share.

Unlike traditional databases, DeDi provides cryptographic proof of authenticity, decentralized availability (no single point of failure), and unified discoverability. Anyone can verify any record without contacting the original source.

Any public information that needs third-party verification: member lists, license registries, public keys, certificates, approved vendor lists, accreditation records, sanctions lists, and more.

Yes. DeDi supports bulk imports from CSV, JSON, and XML. The REST API works with any language or platform. DeDi adds a verification layer alongside your existing infrastructure.

Any future pricing will be co-created with the community through a governance committee. DeDi is not a commercial product — any costs would only cover engineering and operations.
