# The Sovrin\Indy\DID Architecture and Ecosystem -DRAFT # The Sovrin\Indy\DID Architecture and Ecosystem
// Will gather here all resources that specifically relate to Sovrin, and Indy. Gradually this file will grow with Sovrin related material. While '[awesome-decentralized-id](/README.md)' will be gradually thinned out, or actually it seems like that one should be more expansive, and this one more specific.. Whatever the case may be, just working out which proportions of what should be where.

#### Selected readings from Windley.com [**^**](#Contents) #### Sovrin Stewards[**^**](#Contents)
The Sovrin ledger is operated by Stewards, trusted organizations within the ecosystem who have agreed to abide by the requirements in the [Sovrin Trust Framework](https://sovrin.org/library/sovrin-governance-framework/) and are responsible for operation the nodes that maintain the Sovrin distributed ledger.
Stewards also, as a group, accept or reject any changes to the ledger-specific portions of the Sovrin open source code by virtue of that role. They thus provide a counterbalance to the Sovrin architects who maintain the Indy code base.
