Core developer of Partisia Blockchain
Partisia WEB3 Services and Applications
Build secure, scalable WEB3 apps with Partisia’s advanced cryptography, powering private, public, and hybrid blockchain solutions worldwide.
Trusted by enterprises, governments, and research institutions
The user centric internet
Partisia develops WEB3 services and applications that empower WEB3 developers and the users of the internet using the advanced cryptography built into the Partisia Blockchain — a public WEB3 network built by Partisia and delivered to the world by Partisia Blockchain Foundation.
Our WEB3 solution powers both private, public and hybrid blockchain solutions around the world.
A platform for building trust
The selective Partisia WEB3 applications utilize the built-in cryptography to empower end users with services like self-sovereign identity, privacy-preserving advertisement, decentralized exchanges and certified goods and services. The neutral WEB3 platform — with built-in cryptographic tools — replaces costly middlemen and avoids data leaking onto the internet.
The selective WEB3 application has synergies with all Partisia products as a platform for building trust with end users, customers and citizens. The Partisia Platform facilitates data collaboration between organizations while Partisia Blockchain facilitates interaction with internet users. Since the business logic is the same for the two distinct networks, it is straightforward to apply both networks for different parts of an application.
Case story: Humanitarian Token Solution
Cash and vouchers are a significant part of humanitarian assistance (17.9% in 2019, or USD 5.6 billion). Cash is the most efficient type of humanitarian assistance but it is challenging to distribute cash into the hands of the most vulnerable people without loss and without exposing the recipients' identity — and hence exposing them to great danger.
Partisia has worked closely with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on creating a Humanitarian Token Solution (HTS) for secure and costless distribution of digital cash into the hands of recipients. The core of the solution is a privacy-preserving Automated Teller Machine (ATM) that knows the list of recipients and holds the tokens to be distributed. The user can withdraw tokens that work as cash in a completely private way and spend them with selected merchants who can redeem the tokens from ICRC via the traditional banking system.
The solution has been tested by ICRC and is ready for real-life use. Variations of the HTS solution are directly comparable to so-called CBDC solutions (Central Bank Digital Currency) but with tailored privacy.
We built the Partisia Blockchain to advance the user centric WEB3 internet. The foundation of unparalleled scalability and secure interoperability ensures that our MPC technology can be put to work in the next generation of the internet and grant users real control of data.
Case story: Swiss national decentralized identity
In 2024, Swiss citizens will vote about introducing a nationwide e-ID ecosystem. Privacy has been a core part of these discussions, fostered by debates on corona passports. Partisia has worked with researchers at HES-SO Valais-Wallis on using the Partisia Blockchain as foundation for an identity system with built-in privacy. The solution is a mix of a central process for issuing IDs and a decentralized use of IDs — creating the next generation of identification for every Swiss citizen.
The e-ID system provided by Partisia solves the challenges of not just authentication as a citizen, but also signing, data sharing and data ownership, such that every individual is in full control of their data — even if the data is located on and operated by externals such as governmental institutions.
With decentralized identity, Switzerland enables citizens to verify personal information about themselves without sharing the specific information — for example, verifying whether a person is older or younger than a specific age restriction.
Transforming Digital ID Management with ZK · MPC for self-sovereign Identity
Scalable and compliant Automated Market Makers
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is a promising new approach to financial solutions that works without an intermediator. The most popular solutions are the so-called Automated Market Makers (AMM) such as Uniswap. Here the user interacts directly with a smart contract and supply and demand is represented by liquidity providers that match the user's requests.
Partisia has developed a new execution framework for AMMs that works with blockchains that are scalable by completely independent shards or across completely independent blockchain ecosystems. The framework also addresses the problem of frontrunning where the party that gets to add a given transaction to the blockchain ledger front-runs that very transaction. Using privacy-preserving computation, the user's transaction is kept hidden until fully executed and hence cannot be manipulated.
Collectively, the execution framework addresses interoperability, scalability and regulatory concerns with DeFi and allows for broader adoption.

WEB3 can be directly integrated with Partisia Platform and Products
The set of WEB3 applications may run entirely on the public network or utilise the smooth interoperability between the Partisia Network (private — controlled by few invited node operators) and Partisia Blockchain (public — a self-governed network controlled by self-assigned node operators that pass public requirements).
Self-sovereign identity
The issue of identity can be controlled by the organizations in charge of issuing identity, while the use of identity is applied through the public Partisia Blockchain network.
Certified goods and services
Certificates are issued by the organizations in charge of the goods and services, while the use of certificates is governed by the public Partisia Blockchain network.
Privacy-preserving advertisement
User privacy-preserving activation of personal preference information becomes part of the value chain of personalized advertisement.
Decentralized exchanges
Users trade without traditional middlemen in a secure and efficient way, while service providers offer DeFi solutions in a more flexible and compliant way.
Confidential breach sharing
Cybersecurity breaches (as "indicators of compromise") are confidentially shared among good actors to combat attacks with early sharing of highly confidential intelligence.

WEB3 use cases
Soulbound tokens
A new token standard for carrying and activating data about an individual user across WEB3 services. The Partisia value proposition extends this standard to manage private information — placing the soulbound token at the center of services like self-sovereign identity, online advertisement and data exchange. Combined with confidential collaboration through a private network, this forms a highly scalable setup for nationwide digital infrastructure.
Health data activation
Activating health data is crucial for the next wave of innovation in healthcare globally. Continuous sensor data are essential for timely decision support; high-quality individual clinical data are instrumental for developing new treatments and assessing cost-efficient use of existing ones. This use case may require the full suite of Partisia products from My Data Activation and Confidential Computing to WEB3 applications.
Automobile services
The automobile industry is in the midst of a huge digital transformation — from transitioning away from the combustion engine to self-driving cars and better congestion management. Confidential collaboration across a private network of supply chain companies creates the data foundation, while direct interaction on a public network enables new services like proof of mileage, service and ownership, plus predictive maintenance.
How to deploy
The Partisia Blockchain is operated by a global network of node operators and is directly available 24/7. WEB3 applications utilize the network via smart contracts that are stored and executed by the network immediately. Hence deployment is reduced to deploying a smart contract. The selected WEB3 applications are services consisting of one or more interconnected smart contracts.
