**Protocol, Governance, and Immediately Surrounding Ecosystem**
|
||
|
||
This page contains a growing collection of resources related to Evernym, the Sovrin Foundation, and Hyperledger Indy. It was born from [/awesome-decentralized-id](../README.md) and relates some of the same material. However, this list is focused on everything directly related to Hyperedger Indy.
|
||
|
||
Since the information is all inter-related, there is some overlapp. Skipping back and forth may be required, depending on your particular interests.

### Introduction[**^**](#Contents)
|
||
|
||
Internet Identity Workshop is where the quest for concious, user-centric, identity began. Rebooting Web-of-Trust Workshops sprung from the IIW, focused on creating standards for DPKI. Among the United Nations 'Sustainable Development Goals' is for all the world to have access to a digital identity by 2030. Around 2016, the SDGs, blockchain, and the GDPR converged bringing much energy to the decentralized identity ecosystem.

#### 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.
