IBM Teams with THG to Bring Hedera-Based Identity Solution to Enterprises

IBM has partnered with The Hashgraph Group (THG) to bring its Hedera-based IDTrust identity platform to the IBM Cloud Catalog. This move aims to provide enterprises with a secure and decentralized way to manage identities for AI agents, devices, and humans.

IDTrust uses decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials to give entities verifiable identities and permissions. The platform includes MCP servers for AI agents connected to IBM WatsonX Orchestrate, while credentials are anchored on Hedera to provide auditable records of entity identities and actions.

The partnership also grants THG IBM Silver Partner status and access to IBM technology through a global Embedded Solution Agreement. This deal is seen as a significant step in bringing web3 solutions to the enterprise market, with IDTrust being the first commercial Hedera-based enterprise application listed on a major cloud marketplace.
