Cyberspace Administration Seeks Public Comments on Regulations to Promote Interoperability and Mutual Recognition of Distributed Digital Identities

CoinFeed, June 18 – The Cyberspace Administration of China has issued a notice soliciting public comments on the "Regulations on Promoting Interoperability and Mutual Recognition of Distributed Digital Identities (Draft for Comments)," aiming to foster the innovative development and interoperable application of distributed digital identities, support the construction of foundational common service capabilities for the national blockchain network, and facilitate cross-platform interoperability and mutual recognition of digital identities across various sectors of the national economy and social development. The regulations state that a distributed digital identity refers to a new type of digital identity based on distributed technologies such as blockchain, enabling users to autonomously manage their identity information. It consists of identifiers, keys, verifiable credentials, and verifiable statements, and can be used in scenarios such as digital account management, login authentication, and data authorization, with the goal of addressing cross-regional, cross-industry, and cross-platform identity interoperability and mutual recognition issues. The deadline for feedback is July 18, 2026.
