WISeKey International Holding Ltd. announced that it has joined forces with The Hashgraph Association to offer Trusted NFTs via the WISe.ART NFT platform. The WISe.Art platform allows trading of NFTs into WISeKey's own TrustECoin cryptocurrency, enabling market participants to stay anonymous – if they so choose – while ensuring the necessary KYC processes to avoid unwanted activity on the marketplace. Built on Hedera, WISeID is a trusted identity service that enables access to the web and mobile applications with strong authentication techniques.

WISeID supports online KYC onboarding, OTP and digital certificate login, and an innovative “hands-free” secure login based on QR-Codes which users can read using the WISeID suite of mobile applications without having to type any passwords. Hedera, the most innovative, sustainable public ledger for the decentralized economy, is a decentralized, open-source, proof-of-stake public ledger that utilizes the leaderless, asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (aBFT) hashgraph consensus algorithm. It is governed by a diverse, decentralized council of leading enterprises, universities, and web3 projects from around the world: abrdn, Avery Dennison, Boeing, Chainlink Labs, DBS, Dentons, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, EDF, eftpos, FIS, Google, IBM, IIT Madras, LG, LSE, Magalu, Nomura, ServiceNow, Shinhan Bank, Standard Bank, Swirlds, Tata Communications, Ubisoft, UCL, Wipro, and Zain.

Hedera's performance-optimized Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) smart contracts, along with its easy-to-use native tokenization and consensus service APIs, enable developers to create real-time web3 applications and ecosystems that will drive the future of the internet. Additional security services include digital signature services for documents. WISeID implements standards such as OpenID Connect and OAUTH2, that can be easily integrated by customers to enhance the security of their cloud applications.

WISeID can also be combined with Microsoft Active Directory, facilitating integration with corporate applications.
