crypto.news reports that The Hashgraph Group has listed its Hedera-based IDTrust platform on the IBM Cloud Catalog, announced on September 23. This partnership provides enterprise customers with a route to deploy verifiable identities for autonomous AI agents, smart devices, and humans. IDTrust issues decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials that are cryptographically signed and recorded through an auditable identity process.
The platform allows enterprises to define credentials for specific purposes and revoke them, with revocation registries anchored on Hedera. Gartner expects task-specific AI agents to appear in 40% of enterprise applications by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025. IDTrust includes MCP servers to connect AI agents with IBM watsonx Orchestrate, enabling agents to obtain credentials and leave an auditable trail.
The Hashgraph Group described IDTrust as among the first commercial Hedera-based enterprise applications available directly through a major cloud marketplace. IBM joined Hedera’s governing council in 2019, linking the companies through existing network governance ties. The Hashgraph Group also signed a global Embedded Solution Agreement with IBM covering cloud and AI technology. This listing follows previous THG products like BrandBoost and the TransAct managed gateway for executing Hedera transactions.
