Spruce Systems

Spruce Systems describe themselves as:

…a digital identity company that reimagines trusted interactions for enterprises and governments. We help our customers create trusted digital ecosystems that reduce transaction costs for business dealings and government services by incorporating real world facts throughout their workflows in a standards-based way.

Our products handle statements about an ecosystem’s actors and assets, including certificates, licenses, audit reports, and formal approvals, packaging them digitally so that they are tamper-proof, information minimizing, and traceable within a data supply chain.

They can then be shared privately and securely to correctly permissioned parties. To foster transparency and interoperability, we will release our core products as open source.

Spruce Systems are building decentralized identity tools on Tezos including DIDkit, they utilize Tezos as their core dependency. They also:

…create public goods for the Tezos ecosystem towards enterprise-ready components around financial assets, government transparency, and other emerging use cases involving trusted information. We don’t have our own blockchain, and we don’t have a token.

They also build Credible, the official decentralized-identity wallet of DID Method Tezos (DID:tz).
