Who We Are

Vision

To simplify the world of token-powered digital interchange

IWA is an association of private sector organizations (large and small, technology providers and technology consumers), governments, academics, and civil society at large that share the vision of a world of collaboration built on the digital interchange of tokenized items of value.

This new foundation of trust is enabled by technology for managing data transactions that is decentralized but ensures that all parties with a right to that data see exactly the same thing and are guaranteed appropriate ownership rights that are not controlled by any central party.

The IWA mission is to enable organizations to adopt and use token-powered distributed services in their day-to-day business operations such as commerce, exchange, and trade.
