Standards

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.

The three that matter most

Each pillar has a legal anchor.

MLAC · 2024

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.

Anchors the Agency pillar — the rail AI agents must act through.
MLIT · 2022

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.

Anchors the Identity and Rights pillars.
MLETR · 2017

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.

Anchors the Vault pillar.

Where this honestly stands

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.
