Dataswyft’s 2025 Year in Review
Advancing Interoperable Digital Trust
2025 was a year of clarity for Dataswyft. It was defined not by volume or velocity, but by a continued commitment to principles that underpin interoperable digital trust ecosystems.
As global conversations around digital identity, data governance and interoperability evolved, Dataswyft remained focused on its core mission. That mission is to enable individuals and organizations to unlock the value of data through user-controlled, privacy-preserving digital infrastructure.
This year in review reflects how that focus translated into meaningful contributions to the broader digital trust landscape.
Commitment to Data Sovereignty
Throughout 2025, Dataswyft remained focused on its core commitment to data sovereignty. Rather than treating data as a resource to be extracted or centralized, its work emphasized models where individuals retain control over how their data is shared and used.
This perspective aligns with a growing global recognition that sustainable digital systems must respect agency, consent and contextual use. Sovereignty-first infrastructure supports compliance and privacy. It also enables long-term trust and participation across ecosystems.
Verifiable Trust Infrastructure
A key focus throughout the year was verifiable trust — enabling systems to validate information without requiring full disclosure or centralised authority. Dataswyft’s work in 2025 continued to centre on verifiable digital trust frameworks. These frameworks support secure portability of trusted data, peer-to-peer data exchange, and secure wallet-to-wallet interactions.
These elements form the foundation of trusted digital ecosystems where trust must operate across organisational and geographic boundaries. By reducing dependence on single points of control, verifiable trust frameworks support resilience and scalability. They also enable more inclusive digital ecosystems.
Global Recognition: GLEIF vLEI Hackathon
In 2025, Dataswyft’s approach to verifiable digital identity and trusted data exchange received international recognition through the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) vLEI Hackathon.
The recognition highlighted the relevance of Dataswyft’s sovereignty-first approach to real-world digital trust challenges. This was particularly evident in areas such as organisational identity, verification and cross-border data use. Importantly, it reinforced that trust infrastructure grounded in open standards and verifiability is increasingly valued at a global level.
Ecosystem Collaboration with Kuza
Another defining aspect of 2025 was collaboration at the ecosystem level. Dataswyft collaborated with ecosystem partners such as Kuza to support the use of verified data and activities for enabling inclusive finance.
These collaborations focused on how trust frameworks function in real-world contexts. This was especially relevant in environments where access, verification and participation are closely linked to economic opportunity. The emphasis remained on shared principles and ecosystem collaboration rather than proprietary solutions.
Contributing to the Infrastructure Conversation
Beyond specific collaborations, 2025 was also a year of contribution to broader discussions around digital public infrastructure, cross-border data portability and responsible data governance. This included participation in global and regional forums focused on digital public infrastructure, data portability and trusted digital ecosystems.
As governments, institutions and communities grapple with how to design trustworthy digital systems, infrastructure-level thinking has become increasingly important. This shift reflects the growing complexity and interconnectedness of digital ecosystems. Dataswyft’s role in these conversations reflects its positioning as an infrastructure partner rather than a transactional platform.
Entering 2026
Dataswyft enters 2026 with a continued focus on principles-led digital trust infrastructure. The focus remains on supporting ecosystems that create customer advantage through mobilising trusted, verified information.
Rather than chasing rapid change, the emphasis remains on building systems that endure — supporting trust as digital ecosystems continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
