HQ Function

Served as the legal and administrative anchor for the foundation's global governance activities, community management, and stewardship of the Sovrin Network.

Notable Features:

As a foundation with a distributed operational model, the 'headquarters' was more an administrative registration point rather than a large corporate office with distinctive physical features. Its true 'features' were its global network and community.

Work Culture:

The work culture was highly mission-driven, collaborative, and remote-first, reflecting its open-source ethos and the global nature of its community and contributors. Emphasis was placed on transparency, consensus-building, and dedication to the principles of self-sovereign identity.

HQ Significance:

The registered location provided the legal domicile necessary for the foundation to operate internationally, manage its intellectual property, and engage with stakeholders worldwide in promoting SSI.

Values Reflected in HQ: The choice of a modest administrative hub over a lavish corporate campus reflected values of fiscal responsibility, focus on the mission, and the decentralized nature of its work and community.

Location:

The Sovrin Foundation's influence and operations were global, driven by its mission to establish a worldwide public utility for self-sovereign identity. This involved coordinating a global network of Stewards (organizations running nodes on the Sovrin Network), fostering an international open-source developer community, advocating for SSI principles in global forums, and supporting the adoption of its technologies across various industries and geographies. While its legal base was in the US, its impact and community engagement were truly international, a characteristic that continues with its codebase now under Hyperledger.
