Sovereign Trust Framework (STF)

“SSI defines the actors. ToIP defines the digital trust stack. STF orchestrates the interactions where trust actually emerges.”


What is STF?

The Sovereign Trust Framework is a standardization & interoperability framework for ToIP.
It builds on:

  • Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)
  • Trust over IP (ToIP)

STF adds the missing layer:
structured interactions and trust logic that allow these actors to exchange, evaluate, and prove trust without relying on central authorities.
