A Sovereign Trust Backbone for Digital India

A national, federated blockchain architecture to modernise India’s Digital Public
Infrastructure from Web2 to Web3 – embedding trust, consent, interoperability and
digital sovereignty by design.

An innovative, bold and strategic national proposal for India’s sovereign blockchain architecture that includes an universal identity trust anchor to modernise Digital India from Web2 to Web3 through democratisation of trust, data empowerment and digital inclusion, in order to unlock huge efficiencies and opportunities in the Indian economy.

The Problem

Digital India is scaling fast – trust infrastructure is not.

Fragmented Infrastructure

Siloed blockchain pilots across ministries and states create inefficiencies and prevent seamless interoperability.

Repeated Processes

Repeated KYC, document verification and audits increase costs and create friction for citizens and businesses.

Fragmented Data Flows

Fragmented identity, data and value flows prevent the creation of unified digital experiences across sectors.

Rising Security Risks

Rising fraud, AI-driven impersonation and compliance costs threaten the integrity of digital systems.

India needs a unified blockchain trust layer, not thousands of disconnected chains.

The Solution

SETU introduces a National Blockchain Trust Anchor.
Like UPI (the Unified Payments Interface), SETU unifies identity, consent, credentials and value exchange across sectors – without replacing existing systems.

Modular Architecture

Modular, layered, federated architecture that can scale and adapt to India's diverse needs.

Unified Anchoring

Anchors Aadhaar, DigiLocker, AA, UPI, CBDC to create a seamless trust layer across existing systems.

Public-Private Co-creation

Enables secure public-private co-creation, fostering innovation while maintaining sovereignty and security.
