DIS Introduced to Distinguish Human Interactions from Artificial Intelligence

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, June 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Zetrix, the Layer-1 blockchain platform by MY E.G. Services Berhad ("MYEG"), today announced the successful live deployment of the Xinghuo International Super Node along with the introduction of groundbreaking Xinghuo BIF naming services namely Xinghuo Beta Name System ("BNS")   and Xinghuo Digital Identity Service, which are fully compliant with W3C International Standards.

Coming just a mere six months after MYEG and China's national blockchain, Xinghuo Blockchain Infrastructure and Facility ("Xinghuo BIF"), had inked an agreement for MYEG to own and operate the Xinghuo International Super Node, this marks yet another major milestone in bringing real world use cases on to the Zetrix blockchain.

The World Wide Web Consortium ("W3C") is an international community that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. Complying with the latest W3C standards, the Xinghuo Digital Identity Service is a pioneering decentralised identity service that enables immutable verification of online identities. Today, such a service is proving to be particularly essential and indispensable in a world where there is an increasing need for online accounts to be verified in determining whether it belongs to a real human being or Artificial Intelligence ("AI").

"We are delighted to achieve this important milestone within a short period of time.  Xinghuo International Super Nodes are important in providing connectivity for cross border transaction with Xinghuo BIF and many more services will be introduced to facilitate global trade," explained Dr. Jin Jian, Director of Institute of Industrial Internet and Internet of Things Institute (IIIIoT), CAICT.

"In a brave new world of AI-powered Smart Contracts, decentralised identifiers ("DID") like our Digital Identity Service will be widely used to identify the nature of online interactions as it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish engagements between human and AI agents. We are delighted to be amongst the first to introduce W3C-compliant DID to ensure compatibility and inter-operability with other platforms," said TS Wong, Group Managing Director of MYEG.

Xinghuo BIF is a global blockchain infrastructure devoted to a trustworthy digital foundation for the world. It comprises at least seven supernodes covering main areas in China and 29 backbone nodes provide services to a broader range of industries and cities. Approximately 100 million blockchain identifiers are resolved daily on Xinghuo BIF, placing it as the most actively used blockchain platform globally.

Through the Xinghuo International Super Node, operated by Zetrix, on-chain assets and transactions can now cross seamlessly across the Zetrix and Xinghuo blockchains, thus connecting governments, businesses, and individuals to a global blockchain-based ecosystem.

The Xinghuo Digital Identity Service, meanwhile, ensures the interoperability of digital identities issued via Zidentity ("ZID"), Zetrix's digital identity platform, and their equivalent digital identities issued on Xinghuo BIF, while BNS is a feature that allows users to register and allocate their preferred names to blockchain addresses that would otherwise normally be a string of alphanumeric characters.

The deployment announced today is a latest in a series of real-world use cases introduced by MYEG on Zetrix that aims to connect China with the rest of the world. In March, MYEG signed a partnership with East Logistic-Link Co., Ltd, a wholly-owned agency of the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China, to jointly provide a full suite of cross-border trade facilitation services that include certificates of origin and other international trade-related certificates on the Zetrix blockchain platform. The service will enable all data in these certificates to be available accurately in near real-time, hence, increasing the efficiency of tariff computation and customs clearance.
