LFDT Charleston

Join us for a webinar with DSR, a member of LF Decentralized Trust, on Hiero: an ACA-Py plugin for the Hedera ledger. Until recently, ACA-Py primarily relied on Hyperledger Indy as its verifiable data registry (VDR) for AnonCreds, but in 2025, Hedera emerged as a stable, enterprise-ready alternative. This session will introduce the LFDT Hiero project and demonstrate how the plugin enables credential issuance and verification using Hedera as a VDR within ACA-Py. We'll also explore the benefits of Hedera’s support for diverse credentials and protocols, making it easier to build SSI systems beyond the Indy ecosystem. The session is especially relevant for teams exploring alternatives to Indy or considering Hedera for identity use cases.

The webinar will take place on Wednesday June 18 at 7AM PT/10AM ET/16:00 CEST/07:30 PM IST

Your Ideas. Your Ownership. Open-Sourced. Discover ArtizIP.

Intellectual property is being redefined. For too long, IP protection has been complex and inaccessible. That changes now.

We're thrilled to present ArtizIP, a pivotal new LFDT Lab initiative open-sourcing Artizyou to make true IP protection a universal right. Imagine a system that's open, instantly verifiable, and genuinely accessible to everyone, powered by blockchain technology.

During this session, we will:

• DEMO LIVE: See how easy it is for any creator to mint their unique IP (from software to digital art) as a verifiable NFT, establishing immutable proof of ownership.
• EXPLORE THE ROADMAP: Get an insider's view of ArtizIP's future, including features designed to tackle emerging challenges from AI-generated content.
• CONTRIBUTE & CONNECT: Learn how you can join our vibrant open-source community and directly impact the future of decentralized trust and ownership.

If you're a developer, artist, entrepreneur, or anyone building or creating in the digital world, especially one increasingly influenced by AI, this session offers the tools and insights you need to protect what's yours. Don't just adapt to the future; help build it!

Join us for a discussion about the new Verii Lab, an enterprise-grade software stack for creating a "pay-to-verify" Verifiable Credentials ecosystem

However, Verii is much more than a way to issue verifiable credentials - it is a suite of tools: agents, SDKs, smart contracts and trust registry for ecosystems that need a platform that supports individual privacy, compliance efforts, handles data survivability, interparty trust and can support the pay-to-verify use case.
