The Open Trust Infrastructure for the Verifiable Internet
Build sovereign trust ecosystems on open standards (W3C Verifiable Credentials and DIDs, DIDComm), or join existing ones. Attach credentials to your services and AI agents, and make them identifiable, verifiable, and discoverable.

Verana, in three parts
Ecosystems, identity, discovery
Three parts, one mechanism: sovereign ecosystems define who is accredited, verifiable identity proves it before any connection, and the Trust Graph makes it discoverable.
Trust Ecosystems
for ecosystem builders and joiners
Build ecosystems that issue and verify any credential, with your own schemas, governance framework, participants, and business model. Or join an existing one as an accredited issuer, verifier, or holder.
ExploreVerifiable Trust
for services, AI agents, and their operators
Identify any service and the organization or person that controls it, and verify it before you connect.
Verify first. Then connect.
ExploreThe Trust Graph
for users, agents, and search
Discover services and ecosystems by the credentials they hold, ranked by trust. A first-class surface for AI-agent discovery.
ExploreWhy Verana
What Verana solves
Online, nothing proves who is behind a service, an app, or an AI agent. So everyone re-verifies everything, or just trusts.
Verana is the public infrastructure that fixes this. Ecosystems issue verifiable credentials to their participants, and anyone can check any of them, in one query. And identification is only the start:
Verify each other
A service proves who operates it, and verifies who connects to it: humans, services, connected objects, and AI agents, all the same way.
Manage trust dynamically
An ecosystem's issuers and verifiers are managed live on the public registry, with open standards: no static, closed lists to maintain and distribute.
Attach any credential
A service publicly attaches credentials from any ecosystem: who operates it, its ISO certificate, its licenses. Anyone can check them.
Connect without accounts
No more creating an account and pasting an API key just to wire two services together: a service or agent connects by presenting its verifiable credentials, with nothing to provision on the other side.
Be found by what you prove
No search engine can find “the Accounting Agent of Acme Corp”. The Trust Graph indexes services by their credentials, so humans and AI agents discover each other by proof, not keywords.
Governments
A reusable national ID: citizens prove who they are once, and every service can rely on it.
Sectorial ecosystems
Diplomas, ISO certificates, and badges any partner can verify: health, transport, notaries, enterprise.
Connected objects (IoT)
Devices that prove they are genuine before they connect to the network.
Agentic AI
AI agents that prove who operates them and who they act for, before they get access.
Governance
Owned by no one
Open standards, open-source code, a permissionless public network. Two non-profits answer for the commons by name, and the model is built so that no single party can own the trust layer.
VeranaFoundation
veranafoundation.org
The non-profit steward of the commons: it owns and maintains the Verifiable Trust and Verifiable Public Registry specifications and stewards the open-source reference implementations. Its work happens in public working groups, and everything it produces stays open: openly licensed specs, open-source code.

veranacouncil.org
A neutral, non-profit Swiss association that governs and secures the live network and the ECS identity baseline. Up to 25 seats, one member one vote, membership free of charge, and every member runs a validator node. It governs only the constitutional commons: no instrument to reach inside the sovereign ecosystems built on the network.
