Spherity is a German digital identity software provider that develops Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) solutions focused on compliance automation and digital product verification. Founded in 2018, the company implements W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials standards to create digital identity solutions for enterprises, products, and supply chains.

The company's core technology stack includes:

  • Digital Identity Wallet for managing verifiable credentials
  • Decentralized Identifiers implementation using did:web and other methods
  • Access Management with role-based (RBAC) and attribute-based (ABAC) controls
  • Integration with KERI (Key Event Receipt Infrastructure) for interoperability

Spherity has gained notable adoption in regulated industries, particularly pharmaceuticals and automotive. The company works with major partners including SAP, Novartis, and the BMW Group through initiatives like Catena-X and IDunion. Their solutions are used for Digital Product Passports, supply chain compliance (particularly for the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act), and enterprise identity management. The company has received funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy and participates in the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) project for developing EU-wide traceability solutions.
