Built to the world's standards for digital trust.
Fidnt isn't an invention waiting for the law to catch up. Its design tracks the United Nations' model laws for electronic identity, the records you hold, and contracts formed by automated systems — including AI agents acting on your behalf.
Each pillar has a legal anchor.
Automated Contracting
The UN's newest model law (adopted July 2024) says a contract isn't void just because an automated system or AI formed it — and the system's actions are attributed to the person it acts for. Fidnt carries the consent and identity binding that makes that attribution real, and adds what the law leaves open: every automated act is signed, attributable, and revocable.
Identity & Trust Services
The model law for digital identity, signed attestations, and their recognition across borders. Your fID is the identity service; the signed consent receipts and proofs Fidnt issues are the trust services — both in the precise sense MLIT defines, at a phishing-resistant assurance level.
Electronic Transferable Records
The standard for electronic records a person holds and presents — promissory notes, bills, warehouse receipts — with a control test that makes the holder unambiguous. Fidnt is the holder interface: you control the record, and transfer requires your carried consent.
Four pillars, four standards.
| Pillar | Standard | What it does for you |
|---|---|---|
| Talk | — | Your interface and private, verified communications. |
| Vault | MLETR · MLIT | Holds the records, credentials, and attestations — controlled by you. |
| Rights | MLETR · MLIT | Proves your entitlements and data-rights without surrendering them. |
| Agency | MLAC · Civil Code 1868 | Acts on your behalf — including via AI agents — with carried consent and attribution. |
Six model laws, one rail.
| Model law | Year | Role | Philippine status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electronic Commerce (MLEC) | 1996 | Functional equivalence — the base layer | In force · RA 8792 |
| Electronic Signatures (MLES) | 2001 | Signature validity | In force · RA 8792 |
| Secured Transactions (MLST) | 2016 | Perfects your data-right as property | In force · RA 11057 |
| Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) | 2017 | The records you hold | Aligned |
| Identity & Trust Services (MLIT) | 2022 | Identity + trust-service interface | Aligned |
| Automated Contracting (MLAC) | 2024 | AI-agency / attribution layer | Aligned |
Aligned to the standards — not a claim they're already law.
Read this plainly
These are model laws: templates the UN writes for national legislatures, not binding until a country enacts them. The Philippines has enacted MLEC (RA 8792) and MLST (RA 11057); it has not yet enacted MLETR, MLIT, or MLAC. Fidnt aligns to the substantive standards in those texts and operates under the Philippine statutes actually in force today. It is a working precedent for the newer texts — useful as other jurisdictions adopt them — and never a claim that any law not yet passed is already in effect.
