Public Digital Infrastructure
Ecosystem For Incubation
VREV will INCUBATE an ecosystem of issuers to aggregate digitized identities & certificates and in creating an ecosystem of developers who will digitize this infrastructure for social applications. This will be implemented by the creation of a Public Digital Infrastructure (PDI). This infrastructure allows Individual citizens to purpose their digitized identities. The ecosystem of this PDI will comprise four major stakeholders –
Government
organizations that issue credentials to people, ex- UIDAI, NSDL, and government departments.
Blockchain
CORD blockchain by Dhiway Networks – governance, protocol & application layers.
Application Developers
entities that create applications to enable social welfare delivery.
Social Sector Ecosystem
organizations with social context, including prospective beneficiaries.

The PDI will connect five stakeholders for providing an efficient identity verification system:
a. Issuers
– These are organizations that issue credentials to people, for instance, UIDAI, NSDL, and government departments issuing BOCW cards
b. Vaults
– These are secure locations that store the citizen’s data securely, for instance, DigiLocker.
c. Holders
– These are citizens using hardware that holds their personal records, for instance, a citizen’s mobile phone.
d. Verifiers
– These are organizations that scrutinize or use the data for professional use, for instance, a security agency verifying an Aadhaar card.
e. Application Developers
– These are entities or start-ups that create applications that link the stakeholders together for enabling social welfare applications.
