The Heka Identity Platform is a ready-to-use decentralized identity (aka Self-Sovereign Identity or SSI) solution for the Hiero ecosystem. The project delivers a complete set of applications and tools that enable issuance, management, and verification of verifiable credentials using global identity standards, while serving as a baseline reference implementation for Hiero / Hedera-based identity solutions.
The Heka Identity Platform is intended to accelerate adoption of decentralized identity within the Hiero ecosystem and provide a practical, standards-aligned example for developers, integrators, and community members.
The Heka Identity Platform delivers a complete decentralized identity solution composed of two primary applications:
- Mobile Wallet (Verifiable Credentials Holder): A cross-platform mobile application (built with React Native) for end users to receive, store, and present verifiable credentials.
- Identity Service: A backend service (built with NestJS) that primarily acts as a Verifiable Credentials Issuer and Verifier, while also supporting Holder capabilities for cloud (custodial) wallet scenarios.
The implementation is based on the DSR SSI Toolkit and leverages well-established open-source frameworks: OWF Credo and OWF Bifold.
The platform supports a wide range of global decentralized identity standards, including:
- Protocols: OpenID4VC, DIDComm
- Credential Formats: W3C Verifiable Credentials, SD-JWT VC, ISO mDL, Hyperledger AnonCreds
- DID Methods: Multiple DID methods, including Hiero / Hedera-based DIDs
The Heka Identity Platform operates under the governance of the Hiero Technical Steering Committee (TSC), in alignment with existing Hiero project policies.
- Maintainers are nominated and approved according to Hiero governance rules.
- All code and documentation follow LF and Hiero licensing and compliance requirements.
