The trust layer for yourcredential ecosystem
Affinidi Radix lets you build verifiable Trust Registries powered by cryptographic proof and multi‑stakeholder governance. This establishes a strong, trustworthy foundation for your identity ecosystem.
The problem
Centralised trust registries create single points of failure
You're trusting a vendor to decide who's trustworthy. When they're compromised, your entire ecosystem collapses.
Vendor Lock-In Risk
When a single vendor controls your trust registry, any outage, acquisition, pricing change, or roadmap shift brings your entire verification ecosystem to a halt.
No Governance Transparency
Trust registries in different regions don't interoperate, forcing teams to maintain separate infrastructures for each jurisdiction.
Cross-Border Incompatibility
You're building separate trust infrastructure for each region. No interoperability. Manual verification processes. Compliance nightmare.
Inconsistent Trust Lists
No single source of truth. The same university is 'trusted' in HR but 'unverified' in Finance. You're maintaining duplicate trust lists manually.
No Cryptographic Proof
Trust decisions rely on spreadsheets rather than verifiable cryptographic evidence.
Revocation Delays
When an issuer is compromised, revoking trust takes too long. Slow propagation creates windows of exposure.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Affinidi Radix and decentralised trust infrastructure.
What is Affinidi Radix?
Affinidi Radix is a decentralised trust registry that provides root-of-trust infrastructure for cross-boundary identity verification, credential issuance, and trust network governance. It implements the Trust Registry Query Protocol (TRQP) for interoperable trust infrastructure - without vendor lock-in or centralised control.
How does Affinidi Radix differ from a centralised trust registry?
Unlike centralised registries that create single points of failure and vendor lock-in, Affinidi Radix is decentralised by design. It uses multi-stakeholder consensus for governance, provides cryptographic proof of every trust decision (instead of mutable database logs), supports real-time revocation (instead of hours-long propagation), and is built on open standards (W3C DIDs, Verifiable Credentials, TRQP) for full portability.
What standards does Affinidi Radix support?
Affinidi Radix is built on W3C decentralised Identifiers (DIDs), W3C Verifiable Credentials, the Trust Registry Query Protocol (TRQP), and DIDComm v2.1. This standards-based approach ensures no proprietary lock-in and interoperability with any compliant system worldwide.
How does multi-stakeholder governance work in Affinidi Radix?
Radix includes built-in consensus protocols with configurable voting thresholds. Multiple stakeholders - such as suppliers, logistics partners, and regulators - collectively vote on trust decisions like which issuers to approve or revoke. Every decision is recorded with cryptographic proof, creating an immutable, auditable governance trail.
Can Affinidi Radix work across different regions and industries?
Yes. Affinidi Radix uses federation protocols and cross-registry queries to enable trust across clouds, countries, and industries. A single Affinidi Radix deployment can connect to multiple trust networks - for example, linking an EU trust network with a US academic registry - eliminating regional silos and manual verification processes.
How quickly can a compromised issuer be revoked?
Affinidi Radix provides real-time revocation through pub/sub event streams, webhook notifications, and live synchronization. When an issuer is compromised, revocation propagates in seconds - not the hours typical of centralised registries - closing the window attackers could exploit.
How easy is it for developers to integrate Affinidi Radix?
Affinidi Radix offers a drop-in SDK that lets developers query trust registries with just a few lines of code. Features like federated trust lookup (query multiple registries in one call) and live trust update subscriptions (WebSockets, Webhooks, SSE) mean teams can integrate in under 30 minutes.
Is Affinidi Radix compliant with regulations like GDPR and the EU AI Act?
Yes. Affinidi Radix is designed to be audit-ready with cryptographic proof of every trust decision, making it compatible with GDPR, the EU AI Act, and SOC2 requirements. Instead of relying on spreadsheets and mutable logs, you can pass audits with immutable, verifiable evidence.
What are some real-world use cases for Affinidi Radix?
Affinidi Radix supports scenarios like global university credential verification (instant degree checks across 50+ countries), multi-party logistics governance (consortium-based trust for supply chain certification), and cross-state medical licensing (federated verification of doctor licenses across jurisdictions with real-time revocation alerts).
How do I get started with Affinidi Radix?
Affinidi Radix is currently in closed beta. Enterprise decision makers can schedule a Trust Architecture Workshop to discuss governance models and deployment topology. Developers can explore the integration guides, TRQP reference documentation, and sample trust registries in Affinidi Forge.
