FIDES is working on a range of public tools that currently don’t exist. The FIDES Tools will be used during FIDES Plugfests and Labs and can also be useful for any other initiative. In the coming months, FIDES will be launching the following tools:

• FIDES Bluepages: discover endpoints, keys, verified identifiers or any organization data. A federated catalog in which each organization controls their own business profile. Think of a decentralised Google Business Catalog

• FIDES Marketsquare: browse digital trust offerings provided by FIDES sponsors

• FIDES Testbeds: test and validate digital wallets (including issuers and verifiers) to ensure compliance with various specifications, standards and use cases

• FIDES Wallet Catalog: overview of personal and organisational wallets that can be searched by supported specifications, certifications and interop profiles.

The tools are developed and hosted by FIDES Supporters and Sponsors and available for general use. Costs for usage may be introduced in order to support particular volumes or SLA’s.
