What Is VIDT Datalink (VIDT)?

VIDT Datalink is a blockchain data verification platform. The mission of the project is to ensure the authenticity of data, providing verification, secure certification and protection of digital assets. A user registers a file on the platform, and VIDT Datalink generates a hash and saves it on the blockchain. Thus, changes to the file and any intervention from a user will also affect its hash, which will be detected by VIDT Datalink.

The hybrid blockchain verification network uses VIDT Datalink tech to protect digital documents like certificates, invoices, diplomas and sensor data from illegal activities. Among the company's clients are Nyenrode, AmSpec, DeGO, and IBM. Organizations use the platform to create timestamps, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and digital assets such as certificates, sensor data and firmware.

The utility token, VIDT, works as a means of payment on the platform. With its help, transactions are carried out by recording the hash file, timestamp and wallet address. VIDT is deployed on two blockchains: as BEP-20 on BNB Chain (BNB), and as ERC-20 on Ethereum (ETH).

Who Are the Founders of VIDT Datalink?

Marnix van den Berg, Pim Voets (Lead Concept Design), Ceciel van Helden (Lead Programming) and Wico van Helden (CEO) have been working on the VIDT Datalink software since 2003 and launched the V-ID service in 2018. The company also formed a group of technical specialists — the VIDT Datalink Awareness Team (aka Board of Advisors), which consists of Joshua Jenster (President of the Board), Gert-Jan Huizer (Strategy & Growth), Jolanda ter Maten (EU & Innovation), Rudy Bouwman (VIDT & DGB Integrations), Petra van Dooren (Lansdorp, Change Coach) and Rudolf van Ee (Blockchain Ecosystems).

What Makes VIDT Datalink Unique?

VIDT Datalink was created to securely store digital data on the blockchain, capturing provenance records, transfers of ownership and preventing fraud. All chains of custody are browsable on the blockchain, they are immutable and available to the public. File authentication can be verified on VerifyAllDocuments.com.

With the protocol, users can write their encrypted files to the blockchain via the project's API, which facilitates the integration of VIDT Datalink with programming languages ​​such as Python, JS and Java. Companies choose VIDT technologies to protect intellectual property by time-stamping and facilitating the sale of digital assets through fast and low-cost transactions.

Organizations or individual creators of files, data and digital art — also known as publishers — are connected to a cloud service linked to the VIDT API, which is compatible with major programming languages. It's a simple and cost-effective way to use the VIDT Datalink platform. When linking a file, the VIDT smart contract identifies the issuer and stores the already encrypted hash of the file. Only encrypted fingerprints of files are stored on the blockchain, which guarantees data confidentiality and complies with the GDPR or General Data Protection Regulation.
