Building the Web3 Economy

MOBI creates standards and builds the Web3 infrastructure for data spaces interoperability and IoT commerce.

What We Do

MOBI is a global nonprofit Web3 consortium. We are creating standards for trusted self-sovereign data and identities (e.g. vehicles, people, businesses, things), verifiable credentials, and data spaces interoperability.

MOBI and our members are building the Web3 infrastructure for connected ecosystems and IoT commerce. Our goal is to make the digital economy more efficient, equitable, decentralized, and circular while preserving data privacy for users and providers alike. Get Involved

Web3, or the decentralized web, is the next generation of the internet. It promotes data spaces interoperability for:

  • Interoperability and Security — Enabling seamless and secure data exchange across existing systems and data spaces.
  • User Control — Empowering individuals and organizations to manage their own data and identities.
  • Data Privacy – Ensuring that sensitive information remains protected, granting users the ability to share only what is necessary in transactions.
  • Direct Transactions — Reducing reliance on intermediaries and enhancing trust.

Why is Web3 important for interoperability?

  • Facilitates trusted, verifiable data exchange across different ecosystems and data spaces, including between Web2 and Web3.
  • Encourages decentralized, standardized communication between entities using Zero Trust architecture, a security model that assumes no entity is inherently trustworthy, requiring continuous verification of all users, devices, and transactions.
  • Reduces friction in cross-jurisdiction and cross-platform transactions, making the digital economy more efficient.

MOBI’s Vision for Web3:

  • A decentralized, secure, and interoperable digital ecosystem where organizations and individuals maintain control over their identities and data while enabling seamless collaboration across industries.

How are our members advancing interoperability?

  • Developing open standards for cross-industry, cross-platform communication.
  • Building Web3 infrastructure that supports decentralized identity, verifiable data, and trusted transactions.
  • Actively implementing standards and using MOBI Web3 Infrastructure to perform interoperability pilots.

What are data spaces?

  • Data spaces are federated environments where organizations can share, exchange, and collaborate on data in a secure, standardized, and interoperable way while maintaining control over access and usage.

Why is interoperability between existing systems and data spaces crucial?

  • Enables seamless data exchange across industries and platforms.
  • Ensures compliance with global data governance and privacy regulations.
  • Supports efficiency and productivity, reducing the need for costly integrations.

MOBI’s standards and infrastructure enable seamless transactions and communication between different data spaces, ensuring interoperability.

What is it? Self-Sovereign Data (SSD) and Identity (SSI) ensure that organizations and individuals retain control over their digital assets, identities, and transactions. MOBI implements World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to enable trusted, verifiable, and interoperable transactions.

Why does it matter?

  • Strengthens privacy and security by removing reliance on centralized authorities.
  • Empowers users to manage and selectively share their data.
  • Facilitates interoperability between different networks, platforms, and industries.
