Affinidi

Kit de Herramientas / Plataforma de Identidad

A Temasek-founded (2020) data and identity management company building open-standard-based developer infrastructure for consent-driven, privacy-preserving credential issuance, verification, and data sharing. Products include the Affinidi Trust Development Kit (TDK, open source), Affinidi Vault (personal data store), and Affinidi Iota Framework (consent-based selective data sharing via OID4VP). Active pilots include Singapore-India cross-border employment verification (Dec 2025) and cross-border trade interoperability with IMDA. ⚠️ Governance flag: entirely Temasek-controlled (sovereign wealth fund); not community-governed.

Herramientas de Desarrollo Affinidi Trust Development Kit (TDK) — open-source TypeScript SDK for building privacy-preserving VC applications; Affinidi Portal (developer console, credential schema builder); open APIs (OID4VP/OID4VCI endpoints); starter kits and hackathon resources
Autenticación e Identidad W3C DID-based identity; Affinidi Trust Network (ATN) — trust registry for ecosystem participants; Affinidi Vault as user identity hub; consent-first data sharing model; credentials cryptographically signed and verifiable without Affinidi intermediation
Modelo de Almacenamiento Centralized cloud vault (Affinidi-hosted, user-encrypted); credentials stored in Affinidi Vault; VCs portable to external wallets via standard protocols
Interoperabilidad High standards alignment — W3C VC/DID, OID4VP/OID4VCI, DIF PEX; collaboration with IMDA, background screening partners (Avvanz, eeCheck, RMI), GFTN ; interoperability with standard-compliant wallets
Portabilidad de Datos Yes — W3C VC standards ensure credential portability; OID4VP for presentation to any compliant verifier; user can share from Vault to any OID4VP-compliant relying party
Gobernanza y Toma de Decisiones ⚠️ Corporate-controlled: Affinidi Pte Ltd wholly owned/controlled by Temasek; no community governance model; no open standards body stewardship; CEO and board Temasek-affiliated; decisions made by Temasek/company leadership
