TOPPAN Edge and Partisia: Bringing Privacy-First Digital Identity from Campus to Public Blockchain

 

Pioneering a New Era of Trusted, User-Centric Digital Identity

Tokyo, April 2025 – In a world where identity is the gateway to education, work, and daily life, the need for secure, user-controlled, and globally trusted solutions has never been greater. This is magnified by a world that is becoming increasingly more connected and digital. Today, TOPPAN Edge and Partisia announce a groundbreaking partnership and proof-of-concept at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), aiming to redefine how digital identity works for students. This solution is a bedrock for digital identity, with applications that can span industries and use cases. 

This collaboration is more than a technical integration. It’s a shared vision to bridge the familiar convenience of web2 with the trust, privacy, and interoperability of web3. By combining TOPPAN Edge’s 100+ years’ experience, including a 33% market share in Japanese ID systems, with Partisia’s advanced cryptography and blockchain solutions, the partnership is setting a new standard for privacy-first, decentralized, digital identity (DID).


Why Digital Identity Needs an Upgrade

Japan alone has over 813 universities, 360 of which issue IDs with IC chips (FeliCa). This involves a process that is costly, slow, and increasingly vulnerable to impersonation and fraud. Meanwhile, students already carry NFC-enabled smartphones and are accustomed to seamless, app-based, digital experiences. The challenge is to deliver a digital identity solution that is as easy to use as a tap on your phone, but as secure and private as the most advanced cryptography can provide.

At the same time, global standards are rising. The EU’s eIDAS 2.0 and Japan’s Trusted Web initiative demand solutions that are not only secure and user-centric but also interoperable across borders and compliant with the latest privacy regulations. The answer lies in a hybrid approach: leveraging the best of web2 user experience and web3’s decentralized trust infrastructure.


The Solution: Hybrid Architecture for Mass Adoption

The OIST pilot brings together the strengths of both partners in a layered, future-proof architecture:

  • Issuance: Student photos are captured via TOPPAN Edge’s CloakOne® cloud service, then encrypted using Partisia’s secure multi-party computation (MPC) technology. This ensures that sensitive biometric data never leaves the user’s device unprotected.
  • Registry: Decentralized identifiers and credential hashes are anchored on the Partisia blockchain, providing a tamper-proof, transparent audit trail that meets eIDAS 2.0 and Trusted Web requirements.
  • Wallet: Students receive a white-label mobile wallet app, allowing them to tap their phone for campus access, exam check-in, and more, without ever exposing personal information to third parties.
  • Verification: Exams, facility doors, and other checkpoints verify credentials in under a second, using cryptographic proofs and, when needed, on-chain checks for revocation or status.

This hybrid model ensures that universities can adopt the system with minimal disruption, while students benefit from privacy, security, and convenience.


PI vs. PBC: Who Does What?

A key innovation of this project is the clear division of roles between Partisia Infrastructure (PI) and Partisia Blockchain (PBC):

  • PI (Partisia Infrastructure): Delivers the enterprise-grade, private SaaS stack, handling wallet UI, credential issuance, and fast, off-chain verification. This ensures a smooth, Web2-like experience for users and institutions.
  • PBC (Partisia Blockchain): Provides the public, decentralized trust layer anchoring DIDs, managing revocation lists, and enabling transparent, on-chain auditability. Over time, more components (such as registry smart contracts and credential verification) will migrate to the public chain, unlocking new business models and tokenized incentives.

This architecture not only future-proofs the solution but also positions it for mass adoption, both in Japan and globally.


The OIST Pilot: A Blueprint for the Future

From June to September 2025, the pilot at OIST will involve up to 50 participants from the incubator facility. While the immediate focus is on access control within a university setting, the broader goal is to lay the groundwork for a scalable, privacy-first digital identity infrastructure. 

This proof of concept begins with private issuance and verification to ensure the system functions seamlessly in a controlled environment. It then progresses to integration with Partisia’s public blockchain, the release of a public-facing wallet, and the deployment of an on-chain credential registry.

Crucially, this pilot is not the end state. It’s a critical foundation. The architecture being tested is designed to evolve beyond student IDs and campus access, opening the door to applications in IoT, payment infrastructure, and digital identity systems for employers, healthcare, and beyond. By anchoring this work to the Partisia blockchain, this collaboration supports the long-term goals of Japan’s Trusted Web initiative, offering a decentralized, interoperable solution where user control and privacy are built in from the start.

Key performance indicators include sub-second check-in times, zero false-accepts, and full compliance with GDPR and eIDAS audit requirements. The success of the pilot will be a critical first step in building the next generation of secure, user-centric identity systems.


Beyond Campus: Expanding Use Cases

The potential of this platform extends far beyond student IDs. Future applications include:

  • Digital diplomas and alumni IDs: Credentials that can be transferred to job-market wallets or used for cross-border student exchanges.
  • IoT and smart city access: Linking digital identities to physical infrastructure, such as transport systems, public buildings, or municipal services.
  • Payments and financial onboarding: Integration with digital wallets and financial institutions, enabling identity-verified transactions and seamless KYC flows in compliance with local and global regulations.
  • Healthcare and government IDs: Leveraging Toppan’s market leadership in ID card printing to bring privacy-first digital identity to hospitals, workforce credentials, and public services.
  • Event ticketing and supply chain: Fraud-proof passes and staff IDs, with on-chain revocation and auditability.

By anchoring these use cases on a public blockchain, the solution ensures interoperability, transparency, and long-term trust.


Token Utility and On-Chain Activity

As the ecosystem grows, the Partisia blockchain will play an increasingly vital role in securing and governing digital identities. While the initial focus is on establishing a robust and user-friendly platform, future iterations may include:

  • On-chain verification: Enabling verifiers to check credential status directly on the blockchain, reducing reliance on issuers and enhancing trust.
  • Tokenized incentives: Introducing staking mechanisms and fees (potentially in $MPC) for issuers and verifiers, aligning incentives and fostering a sustainable ecosystem.
  • Governance: Evolving the platform into a decentralized governance framework for digital identity, ensuring community participation and long-term viability.

These features will not only enhance the utility of Partisia blockchain but also create new opportunities for innovation and value creation.

How Partisia Blockchain Foundation Operates & Collaborates to Drive Public Blockchain Success

How Partisia Blockchain Foundation Operates & Collaborates to Drive Public Blockchain Success

Bringing Clarity to Our Structure

In a thriving blockchain ecosystem, clarity and synergy are paramount. Our multi-entity design ensures that each organization contributes unique expertise while remaining laser-focused on strengthening the public blockchain.

This approach—where independent companies collaborate under the governance of Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF)—is a proven model seen in other blockchain ecosystems, such as Cardano’s relationship with the Cardano Foundation, IOHK, and EMURGO.

By upholding financial independence, robust governance, and a shared commitment to the success of PBF, we guarantee that every initiative ultimately serves the Partisia Blockchain community—driving adoption, innovation, and long-term success for the public network.

To provide a clear understanding of how these entities work together, here is a high-level breakdown of their roles:

  • Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF) → Oversees governance, funding, and adoption of Partisia Blockchain.
  • Partisia Infrastructure (PI) → Provides core technical development, building and maintaining the public blockchain protocol.
  • GODS Network (GN Solutions AG) → Drives data interoperability and cross-chain adoption in web3 while generating on-chain transactions on Partisia Blockchain.
  • PBC Apps → Originally built key web3 adoption tools (like the first explorer and wallet), now run adoption independently of PBF.

Each of these companies operates independently but plays a distinct role in strengthening the public blockchain ecosystem under the governance of PBF. Below, we provide a more comprehensive overview of their contributions and governance structures.

Understanding the Role of the Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF) 

At the core of the ecosystem is the Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF), a Swiss non-profit entity responsible for governing the public blockchain’s development, adoption strategy, and ecosystem growth. The foundation is the guardian of the public blockchain, ensuring that it remains open-source, transparent, and accessible for developers, enterprises, and the broader web3 community.

PBF was established in 2020, following an extensive regulatory process to ensure compliance with Swiss financial authorities and alignment with utility token regulations. This regulatory foundation remains a key pillar of the project’s long-term legitimacy and governance.

PBF follows a strict governance model, supervised by the Swiss ESA and is subject to rigorous audits and financial oversight. It operates under a locked-purpose structure, meaning its funds can only be used to develop, promote, and bring the public Partisia Blockchain to market.

The development of Partisia Blockchain dates to March 2017, when the first lines of code were written by Partisia Infrastructure (PI). PI played a critical role in shaping both the technical architecture and regulatory framework, ensuring compliance with Swiss utility token regulations. The early development efforts culminated in Version 1.7, which was acquired and open-sourced by PBF in October 2020, leading to the public release of Version 2 in January 2021.

The Foundation plays a crucial role in strategic planning, ensuring that the blockchain evolves in line with its mission. The original roadmap was set out in the whitepaper, with a yearly roadmap review that is subject to quarterly replanning. The latest iteration was a 6-month roadmap, completed in January 2025. 

Although independent companies like PI and GN Solutions (GN or GODS Network), contribute to blockchain development, PBF remains the governing entity, ensuring that public blockchain progress remains transparent, decentralized, and independent from private interests. As governance continues to evolve, efforts are underway to explore more community-driven governance models.

How Supporting Companies Enhance PBF & the Public Blockchain

While PBF remains the central governing entity of the public blockchain, several independent companies contribute technical expertise, adoption strategies, and infrastructure. Below, we outline their roles and how they align with PBF’s mission.

Partisia Infrastructure (PI)

Partisia Infrastructure (PI) is an independent Danish company specializing in blockchain solutions, encryption, and privacy-preserving cryptography. However, its role in the ecosystem goes beyond enterprise applications—it has been a driving force behind the technical foundation of the public blockchain since its inception. 

Partisia Infrastructure (PI) is the dedicated core developer team and technological brain trust behind the public blockchain. With over a decade of expertise in advanced cryptography, multi-party computation (MPC), and blockchain technologies, PI played a pivotal role in shaping the public blockchain’s whitepaper, regulatory framework, and token classification. As part of a larger group of independent Partisia companies that existed long before the blockchain’s launch, PI operates independently, generating its own revenue through private-sector contracts and projects ranging from quantum computing security to MPC-based key management (via Sepior, now a Blockdaemon company).

PI was responsible for building the core mainnet protocol, leveraging its deep cryptographic expertise to ensure a secure, scalable foundation for the blockchain. This work was delivered at a heavily discounted rate, underscoring PI’s commitment to the success of the public blockchain.

Since then, PI has remained the core development company behind the public blockchain, responsible for:

  • Protocol and mainnet development to ensure security, scalability, and efficiency.
  • BYOC (Bring Your Own Coin) bridges to enhance interoperability.
  • Blockchain explorers and other essential tooling to improve network visibility.
  • Dedicated developer support for selected dApps 

Beyond development, PI also plays a key role in enterprise adoption, acting as a go-to-market (GTM) partner for businesses transitioning to web3. By working with enterprises on private blockchain solutions, PI is often able to guide them toward the public blockchain, increasing on-chain activity and adoption.

Despite its involvement in development and enterprise solutions, PI operates independently from PBF, with strict governance ensuring that no public blockchain funds are used for private enterprise projects. 

GODS Network (GN) 

GODS Network is a Swiss-based entity established by Partisia Group—the same company that owns Partisia Infrastructure. It was created to solve a major challenge in web3: fragmentation across blockchain ecosystems. 

By acting as an interoperability layer built directly on Partisia’s public blockchain, GODS Network connects disparate blockchains into a unified, seamless infrastructure, allowing data and transactions to flow across networks effortlessly.

At its core, GODS Network functions as a decentralized data subscription layer, enabling any smart contract on any blockchain to publish and subscribe to data across chains. This removes the silos between EVM and non-EVM blockchains, making decentralized applications more accessible and functional. The integration also enables Partisia’s public blockchain to provide privacy-preserving computation as a commodity across multiple chains, offering a unique value proposition in the web3 ecosystem.

While GODS Network is built by Partisia Infrastructure, it operates as a completely independent entity. It receives no funding or grants from Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF), ensuring a clear financial separation between GODS Network and the foundation. However, there is close collaboration between GN and PBF on business development, ensuring that GODS Network’s innovations directly drive adoption for the public blockchain.

One of the most significant benefits of GODS Network is that any use of its interoperability features will generate on-chain transactions on Partisia Blockchain. This means that while GODS Network operates independently, its success directly contributes to network activity and revenue generation for Partisia Blockchain node operators. By bridging blockchains and enabling seamless cross-chain transactions, GODS Network is positioned to be a key driver of Partisia Blockchain’s adoption in the broader web3 space.

PBC Apps

PBC Apps is a Cayman Islands-based company founded by Brian Gallagher, a former co-founder and previous member of the Foundation Council. As part of the natural evolution of the ecosystem, Brian stepped away from day-to-day involvement with the foundation, shifting his focus to external adoption initiatives outside of PBF.

Originally, PBC Apps played a key role in driving early web3 adoption on Partisia Blockchain, leveraging its expertise to support ecosystem growth and infrastructure development. 

The company was engaged in an arm’s length development agreement to build and maintain core ecosystem tools, including the initial explorer and Parti Wallet, which was—until recently—the only available wallet in the Partisia ecosystem.

Over time, the blockchain has expanded beyond a single provider, introducing new wallet solutions and enabling broader developer participation. 

Today, PBC Apps operates entirely independently from the foundation and receives no further payments from PBF, originally required to build core infrastructure like wallets. It functions as a third-party service provider, just like any other independent vendor in the ecosystem, with no exclusivity or preferential treatment. This transition reflects the maturity of the public blockchain ecosystem, moving towards a more decentralized and competitive infrastructure landscape.

Ensuring Strong Governance & Alignment

Partisia Blockchain Foundation Structure

Ensuring strong governance and alignment between all companies in the ecosystem is a key priority for the Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF). The focus is not just on legal compliance, but on ensuring that every entity involved operates in a way that benefits the public blockchain and serves the long-term vision of the ecosystem.

From the very beginning, PBF was designed with a governance structure that prioritizes independence and accountability. Before the foundation was formally established, the co-founders worked extensively with Swiss regulators to ensure that the blockchain’s design met Utility token regulatory standards. This regulatory groundwork—combined with the development of the initial network version and the publication of the whitepaper—laid the foundation for how PBF would be structured.

Partisia Blockchain Foundation Relationships

To ensure that development efforts remained aligned with the public blockchain’s success, arms-length agreements were put in place with both Partisia Infrastructure and PBC Apps. These agreements were carefully structured and reviewed by an independent third party, ensuring that any services provided by external entities adhered to market standards and fair governance principles.

As PBF continues to evolve, governance remains an area of active development and refinement. The foundation operates under strict Swiss ESA supervision, undergoing annual audits that have consistently resulted in high compliance rankings with no critical issues. However, beyond regulatory adherence, the real measure of good governance is whether the relationships between entities in the ecosystem ultimately benefit the public blockchain and its stakeholders.

Community Governance

Instead of forcing a premature shift toward decentralized governance, the focus will remain on ensuring that the right governance mechanisms are in place to support the blockchain’s long-term success. As part of this commitment, the foundation’s council is actively exploring options to move toward a more community-centric governance model, including community representation on the council and a DAO model. These avenues would ensure that the public blockchain’s governance becomes more decentralized, balanced, and inclusive, with stronger representation from the community.

While the governance structure will continue to evolve over time, these options aim to strengthen transparency, accountability, and community involvement in decision-making. Should a clear route, requirement, and environment for these ideas arise in the future, it will be driven by community demand rather than imposed as a governance model for its own sake.

Governance improvements will be introduced gradually, ensuring that shifts toward decentralization are well-planned and beneficial to the network.

Final Thoughts 

The Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF) is committed to building a sustainable, high-impact public blockchain. The separation of roles and responsibilities allows each organization to focus on its core strengths, ensuring that PBF remains dedicated to governance, adoption, and ecosystem growth while benefiting from technical expertise, interoperability advancements, and infrastructure contributions from aligned entities.

The public blockchain remains at the centre of this ecosystem, and PBF continues to explore opportunities to evolve its governance model to increase community involvement.

Partisia Blockchain is entering a new phase of growth, accountability, and execution, and we are excited to move forward together with the community toward a stronger, more decentralized future.

The Hybrid Future of Enterprise Blockchain

The Hybrid Future of Enterprise Blockchain

Blockchain technology is widely heralded as a transformative force for enterprise – from streamlining supply chains and enhancing financial processes to securing digital identities. It promises to radically improve how organizations manage data, trust, and transactions. Yet, many enterprises remain cautious about fully embracing public blockchain solutions because of concerns around security, scalability, privacy, control and regulatory compliance. 

A compelling answer lies in a hybrid blockchain model – one that combines the best aspects of private (permissioned) and public (permissionless) networks. By integrating the control and confidentiality of private systems with the transparency and decentralization of public chains, enterprises can safeguard sensitive information while benefiting from global trust and interoperability. 

Coupled with advanced solutions like the GODS Network, this approach not only addresses critical enterprise challenges but also drives broader public chain adoption.

Understanding Private vs Public Blockchains

It is important for us to outline what private and public blockchains are. This sets the groundwork for understanding why a hybrid model is best suited to catalyse enterprise adoption for the public blockchain network.

Private Blockchain

Characteristics:

  • Access Control: Private blockchains are permissioned networks where only pre-approved entities can join. This ensures that sensitive data remains confined to trusted participants.
  • Speed and Scalability: They often use faster consensus mechanisms since the network participants are known, leading to high throughput and low latency.
  • Custom Governance: Enterprises can enforce strict policies to comply with internal policies and external regulations.

Drawbacks:

  • Limited Transparency: While data remains secure, the closed nature means there is less public verifiability.
  • Centralization Risk: Trust is concentrated among known parties, which might not fully eliminate the risk of collusion or internal abuse.

Examples in practice:

  • Hyperledger, Microsoft Azure Blockchain, Corda, Partisia Platform.

Public Blockchain

Characteristics:

  • Open and Transparent: Public blockchains are open to anyone. Every transaction is recorded on an immutable ledger visible to all, promoting trust through decentralization.
  • Robust Security: The large number of independent nodes makes it exceedingly difficult for any single entity to compromise the system.
  • Global Interoperability: They offer broad connectivity and enable global asset transfers, making them ideal for applications requiring public auditability.

Drawbacks:

  • Scalability Issues: High transaction volumes can lead to congestion and slower processing times.
  • Data Exposure: Even with encryption, the public nature of these networks still exposes important information through metadata. Think timestamps, counterparties, links to smart contracts. 

Examples in practice:

  • Ethereum, Bitcoin, Cardano, Partisia Blockchain.

Why a Hybrid Model is Essential for Enterprises

The Banking Analogy

Think of a traditional bank. You access your account via a public app over a public network, but behind the scenes, the bank’s internal systems are protected by a secure intranet. Sensitive data like HR records or proprietary processes remain hidden, while only essential transaction data (like your account balance) is visible externally. 

In web3, a private blockchain functions as this intranet, allowing sensitive computations to be kept confidential. Meanwhile, key outcomes—such as transaction confirmations—can be recorded on a public chain, ensuring transparency and immutability.

Real-World Onboarding for Web2 Clients

Large organizations often balk at placing any data on a fully public ledger—even if encrypted—due to regulatory constraints, internal policies, control, and privacy concerns. By offering a private network that seamlessly interfaces with a public chain, enterprises can:

  • Maintain a Familiar Environment: web2 clients continue to operate with the same security and data restrictions.
  • Enable Selective Disclosure: They can publish essential outcomes (e.g., a transaction ID or proof of ownership) on a public chain without exposing sensitive inputs.
  • Drive Gradual Adoption: As organizations grow more comfortable with blockchain, they can progressively migrate more functions to the public network, increasing overall transaction volume and ecosystem credibility. The migration will typically start with services towards end users, customers, citizens or patients.

Industry Examples

  • Automobile Sector: Insurers, engineers, and financiers often need to collaborate privately (e.g., sharing repair details or loan information) using MPC to secure data. Once a milestone is reached—like finalizing a loan or completing a repair—a digital twin or NFT of the car can be registered on the public chain, ensuring an immutable record for better financing options and a transparent secondary market.
  • Banking: In banking, private networks handle sensitive operations such as internal transfers and account management, while public blockchains are used to record key transactional data visible to customers. This dual approach is similar to how bank apps operate on public networks, but the critical backend processes remain secure on a private intranet.

How Private Networks Boost Public Chain Usage

It might seem counterintuitive, but as enterprises deploy private blockchains to manage sensitive data, they naturally generate key events—such as transaction finalizations—that can be recorded on public chains for greater transparency. 

These on-chain records not only verify the private process but also bring real-world validation and transaction volume to the public ecosystem. Over time, this interplay boosts the credibility and adoption of public blockchains while enterprises get comfortable on the private side.

The Role of Centralized vs. Decentralized MPC in Hybrid Models

Multi-Party Computation (MPC) is a critical technology that enhances security by allowing multiple parties to compute functions over their data without revealing the inputs. In a hybrid model:

Decentralized MPC:

  • Distributed Trust: Splits sensitive data among numerous independent nodes, eliminating single points of failure—a must for public chains where transparency and trustlessness are vital.
  • Resilience: Even if some nodes are compromised, the protocol tolerates misbehaving parties without jeopardizing overall security.

Centralized MPC:

  • Optimized Performance: Can be deployed in controlled environments (such as private data centers), offering low latency and predictable performance.
  • Simplified Governance: Allows for tighter control over cryptographic operations, which is essential during early stages of adoption as well as traditional contractual relationships.

Hybrid MPC Approaches:

  • Combine the performance benefits of centralized MPC within private networks with the robust, trust-minimized security of decentralized MPC when interfacing with public chains. 
  • This layered security model is ideal for handling sensitive, high-volume transactions while ensuring overall integrity.

GODS Network: Bridging Private and Public Blockchains

GODS Network further the migration from enterprise blockchains to any public blockchain by not locking migration to a single public blockchain. It’s designed as a cross-chain data subscription layer that seamlessly connects disparate blockchains—whether private or public—through a simple, API-like interface. Here’s what makes GODS Network unique:

  • Cross-Chain Orchestration: It acts as a data subscription layer that connects different blockchains. A local smart contract initiates a data request, and the GODS Network, using MPC-powered oracles, securely fetches and validates data from the appropriate chain.
  • Flexible Deployment: Built on the Partisia Blockchain, GODS Network can run publicly for maximum decentralization or privately for heightened control. Enterprises can start on a private deployment and later extend functionality to any public chain as trust and familiarity grow.
  • Developer-Friendly Integration: The network abstracts away the complexities of cross-chain communication, offering a simple, API-like interface. Developers can subscribe to data feeds and pay per use without worrying about underlying security or network coordination.
  • Enhanced Security: By combining both centralized and decentralized MPC, GODS Network eliminates single points of failure while ensuring robust, verifiable transactions on public chains.

Looking Ahead: The Path to Mainstream Adoption

A hybrid blockchain model is the most practical solution for onboarding web2 enterprises into the web3 world. By keeping sensitive data and internal processes on a private network while using public chains for key transactions, enterprises can:

  • Satisfy Regulatory Requirements: Maintain strict data controls and compliance protocols internally while leveraging public chains for transparency.
  • Improve Performance: Use fast, private networks for high-volume transactions, reserving public chains for auditability and trust.
  • Build Trust Gradually: Start with a secure private environment and incrementally expose functions to the public chain, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where private success boosts public network adoption.

As enterprises increasingly migrate to hybrid frameworks, they generate a wealth of validated public transactions that enhance the overall credibility and interoperability of blockchain networks. Platforms like GODS Network embody this vision by offering a secure, scalable, and developer-friendly bridge that not only protects sensitive data but also catalyzes broader public chain adoption.

Conclusion

The journey toward enterprise blockchain adoption has been deliberate and measured, with enterprises seeking solutions that balance privacy, control, and regulatory compliance against transparency and decentralization. Hybrid blockchain models effectively bridge this gap by combining the best elements of private and public blockchains, delivering secure, scalable solutions that enterprises can comfortably adopt.

The banking analogy illustrates how internal systems (the “intranet”) can coexist with public interfaces, enabling both confidentiality and auditability. GODS Network enhances this hybrid approach by seamlessly connecting private and public infrastructures, streamlining cross-chain interactions and simplifying overall user experience. It is an essential tool for facilitating smooth integration and interaction.

As enterprises build confidence in this hybrid model, they will drive increased public chain activity, ultimately creating a robust, interconnected web3 ecosystem.

Reimagining Web3: A Vision of Privacy, Interoperability, and Real Adoption

Reimagining Web3: A Vision of Privacy, Interoperability, and Real Adoption

Web3 is widely described as the next evolution of the internet, a decentralized, user-centric ecosystem where individuals control their digital assets and data. 

Yet, while blockchain technology delivers transparency and asset ownership, true data control remains elusive. People may hold and control their assets on-chain, but they generally lack privacy over how their personal information is stored, shared, and monetized. 

At Partisia Blockchain, we fix this. Our mission is to embed privacy and data ownership in Web3 through Multiparty Computation (MPC)—a powerful cryptographic technology that enables secure, centralized privacy-preserving computations.

This is why we say: “We do for data what Bitcoin did for money.”

Our vision is clear: build a decentralized network that is both transparent and confidential, enabling users and organizations to interact freely without losing control of their data. 

Achieving this requires removing friction, enabling seamless interoperability, and delivering a practical path for both native web3 projects and traditional enterprises to build on or with Partisia Blockchain. 

A Strategy Focused on Real Adoption

To bring this vision to life, our strategic priorities focus on two key areas:

1. Expanding the Web3 Ecosystem

Despite remarkable strides in the blockchain industry, widespread adoption is still hindered by fragmentation, inefficiencies, and insufficient confidentiality. 

Partisia Blockchain tackles these challenges in several ways:

User-centric confidentiality and data control:

  • All-purpose privacy-preserving computation readily available.
  • Interoperable and accessible across web3 ecosystems.
  • Enables secure AI-driven computations without exposing your sensitive data.

Cross-chain interoperability:

  • Bring Your Own Coin (BYOC) – MPC secured bringing of native coins in and out of Partisia Blockchain.
  • Bring Your Own Nodes (BYON) – Allowing users to bring in their own ZK nodes to run MPC.
  • Data Interoperability – MPC secured data interoperability fully elaborated with the GODS Network. 

Scalability and stable fees:

  • Unlimited scalability through independent shards
  • The scalability model removes surge pricing and fluctuation fees

Which enables many new and novel use cases such as:

Bringing Privacy to DID and AI: 

  • Enables secure AI-driven computations without exposing your sensitive data.
  • Enables general and privacy-preserving use of credentials across chains and providers of verifiable credentials. 

Providing Cross-Chain MPC Security: 

  • Offers decentralized backup for cryptographic keys across multiple networks, eliminating single points of failure.
  • This provides stronger key management features benefitting individuals and the entire network. If one node or user is compromised, the entire system remains secure.

Enhancing Cross-Chain DeFi: 

  • DeFi applications benefit from frontrunning protection and multi-chain liquidity, enabled by MPC-driven privacy solutions.
  • This benefits the web3 ecosystem through enhanced liquidity and reduced risk of exploitative practices like sandwich attacks.
  • Making staking more accessible, increasing flexibility and therefore participation.

Although Partisia Blockchain is a best practice L1 it does not compete with other L1 or L2 projects; instead, we complement them. We do so by providing privacy, security, and cross-chain functionality that makes web3 more scalable, user-friendly and secure.

2. Helping Enterprises Transition to Web3

For enterprises, the leap into decentralized technology can be often seen as too daunting, complex and disruptive. Many factors may contribute to this, including concerns around security, scalability, privacy, control, and regulatory compliance. 

Partisia Blockchain simplifies this process by providing a step-by-step migration path that allows businesses to transition from private networks to public blockchain ecosystems at their own pace.

There is a natural supply chain perspective in moving web2 companies to web3. While industry collaboration typically happens in private enterprise controlled networks, web3 offers a superior way to enhance the collaboration with end users of a product or service. 

Two core properties of Partisia Blockchain makes it a pathway to web3:

  • Confidentiality allows for confidential activation of first level data to be used for identity, access control and data driven services in general.
  • Interoperability allows web2 companies to tap into the entire web3 ecosystem as opposed to selecting a single blockchain ecosystem.

Examples of enterprise adoption use cases include:

  • Decentralized Identity (DID) for seamless authentication across multiple blockchain networks, protecting user credentials.
  • Real World Assets (RWA) & Data Activation: Harness blockchain for broader user engagement, data monetization, and transparent asset representation. 
  • MPC-Powered AI Agents: Deployment of privacy-preserving AI applications that maintain compliance and safeguard proprietary data. 

By minimizing adoption hurdles, we empower enterprises to capitalize on blockchain core benefits – transparency, interoperability, and privacy – without disrupting their existing operations.

Roadmap: What’s Coming Next?

This strategy is already reflected in our six-month technical roadmap for Partisia Blockchain, merging technical advancements with ecosystem expansion plans.

Key Objectives:

Strengthening the Developer Ecosystem: 

  • Improved onboarding, enriched documentation, and robust API integrations.

Improved User Onboarding: 

  • Improving visibility and access to tokens and wallets, plus user-friendly user interfaces and experience for easier adoption.

Expanding BYOC (Bring Your Own Coin) Solutions: 

  • Broader cross-chain asset support and enhanced security layers. 

Expanding BYON (Bring Your Own (zk) Nodes)

  • Enable MPC security models for critical infrastructure across web3.

Utilizing GODS.Network 

  • A cross-chain data subscription layer that seamlessly connects web3 applications fragmented across different blockchains.

A more detailed roadmap update will be shared in June, outlining the next evolution of the project.

GODS Network: A Leap in Interoperability

One of the most significant innovations in the ecosystem is the launch of GODS Network, a revolutionary interoperability layer built on Partisia Blockchain. 

Leveraging MPC and secure cryptographic techniques, GODS Network enables any smart contract to seamlessly access and process data across multiple blockchains—turning fragmented ecosystems into a unified digital infrastructure.

  • For Developers: It provides high-throughput interoperability by distributing workloads. This ensures efficient handling of large-scale data requests without sacrificing privacy or performance. Simply plug in, with minimal overhead, to leverage a unified approach to cross-chain data.
  • For Enterprises: GODS Network delivers a seamless solution to connect private solutions to all supported public blockchains. By maintaining confidentiality and security through advanced privacy measures, organizations can adopt decentralized technology at their own pace. No large-scale overhauls needed.
  • For Partisia Blockchain: Every interaction on GODS Network triggers on-chain transactions, fueling network growth and sustainability.

In essence, GODS Network addresses one of web3’s biggest barriers—true interoperability—while amplifying Partisia Blockchain’s vision of a privacy-focused, scalable, and decentralized future. 

It is worth noting that GODS Network is funded independently from the Partisia Blockchain Foundation, hence, the Partisia Blockchain benefits from additional throughput and activity without extra cost to the ecosystem.

Sustainability & Long-Term Viability

A public blockchain’s long-term success is measured by real-usage, not short-term speculation. Our strategy is designed to drive 3 core pillars:

  1. Increased On-Chain Transactions – Through enterprise involvement, web3 integrations, and more adoption from developers, builders, and through interoperability.
  2. Scalable Network Growth – Emphasizing practical privacy and interoperability for both developers and enterprises.
  3. Token Utility & Ecosystem Incentives – Prioritizing genuine adoption over hype-driven token incentives. 

While we offer grants to builders, we do not rely on them to attract enterprises. They join us for ROI and a robust technical foundation with proven technical expertise to take on this challenge. 

Our sustainability model focuses on consistent ecosystem involvement – real transactions, ongoing integrations, and enduring partnerships, rather than token-driven boom and busts.

Governance: The Path to Greater Decentralization

Decentralized governance is key to fulfilling our long-term vision. The Partisia Blockchain Foundation (PBF) is a Swiss-regulated non-profit, operating under strict oversight to ensure funds are used solely to develop and promote the public blockchain.

Over time, as we evolve, we will implement governance improvements to further align with community participation and transparency. Discussions and updates around governance changes will be conducted through blog posts, social channels, community channels and other avenues we’re working on. 

You can join us across any of these channels, available via our linktree.

Key Governance Initiatives

  • Expanding Community Participation – New frameworks for structured collaboration with ecosystem stakeholders.
  • Exploring a DAO Model – If and when the community determines a clear benefit, we will explore a DAO-driven governance structure, ensuring it is implemented when there is strong demand and readiness.

Our goal is not just decentralization for the sake of optics, but real, functional governance that supports the long-term success of the network.

Governance improvements will be introduced gradually, ensuring that shifts toward decentralization are well-planned and beneficial to the network.

Final Thoughts: A Stronger, More Connected Future

Partisia Blockchain is a key enabler of a truly decentralized web3. By combining MPC-powered privacy, interoperability, and real enterprise adoption, we are setting the stage for a more secure, scalable, and inclusive digital economy.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. With a refined strategy, an expanding ecosystem, and clear governance direction, we are ready to take web3 to the next level.
