did:webvh Adoption¶
The following is a list of known adoptions of did:webvh, including
deployments of did:webvh software and inclusions of did:webvh in
standards, reference architectures, and governance frameworks. If you have
an adoption that is not listed here, please let us know (or submit a PR).
It is really helpful to the community to know about the growing ecosystem
around did:webvh.
United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP)¶
The UN Transparency Protocol, which addresses supply chain verifiability and
anti-greenwashing, has included did:webvh as an acknowledged DID method in
its work-in-progress specification. It is listed as Recommended (Advanced) for
institutional and organizational identifiers requiring verifiable history, key
rotation, and auditability — particularly for Digital Identity Anchors,
credential issuers, and registry maintainers.
Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust (Proof of Personhood)¶
LF Decentralized Trust is using did:webvh as part of its Decentralized
Trust Graph initiative, which aims to provide Proof of Personhood for the Linux
kernel project and other open source projects. The effort is a response to
supply chain attacks such as the XZ Utils backdoor, and is centered on a
verifiable trust graph model using DIDs and verifiable relationship credentials.
Reference implementations were contributed to LFDT Labs at the 2026 LF Member
Summit.
Government of Canada¶
The Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI), an independent division
of Canada's Digital Governance Council, published a revised edition of
DGSI/TS 115, Technical Specification for Digital Credentials and Digital
Trust Services, in March 2026. did:webvh (listed as DIF DID:webvh) is
explicitly included in section 8.1.2 alongside W3C DID:web, DID:key, and
X.509 Certificates as a required supported identifier method for conformant
implementations.
Swiss Confederation (swiyu e-ID)¶
The Swiss Federal Council has selected did:webvh as the DID method for the
swiyu Trust Infrastructure, Switzerland's national e-ID system. The swiyu
public beta launched in early 2025, with full production deployment planned
for late 2026. did:webvh is used to represent issuers and verifiers in the
trust infrastructure, with DID documents and DID logs hosted on the swiyu Base
Registry.
Government of British Columbia, Canada¶
The Government of British Columbia Digital Trust team has deployed
did:webvh infrastructure in support of BC Gov's digital identity initiatives.
This includes a production-grade, multi-tenant did:webvh server built in
Python and deployed to a container orchestration environment, used to support
the issuance of Verifiable Credentials including privacy-preserving AnonCreds
credentials. did:webvh support is also integrated into Traction, BC Gov's
managed deployment of ACA-Py, and into the BC Wallet, the mobile wallet
application for British Columbia residents.
Affinidi¶
Affinidi has developed open source implementations of did:webvh for their
clients, including the Rust implementation didwebvh-rs hosted at DIF.
Affinidi has also contributed the OpenVTC reference implementation to LFDT
Labs, which uses did:webvh as its identity foundation.
Procivis¶
Procivis has developed open source implementations of did:webvh for their
clients.
