Completed the build of the first Citopia Node and Citopia Self-Sovereign Digital Twin™ (SSDT™), demonstrating how any third-party services, such as a Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) of location service, can be deployed and utilized on a Citopia Node.

MOBI and its members kicked off a three-year initiative to develop Citopia Global Battery Passport System (GBPS). This initiative involves leveraging Citopia and Integrated Trust Network (ITN) services to demonstrate secure battery data exchange and identity validation between participants and test core functionalities like selective disclosure (where data is shared only with intended recipients). The goal is to facilitate seamless coordination and communication throughout the battery value chain for enhanced circularity, accountability, efficiency, and regulatory compliance.

Major upgrades to the network and the ITN SSDT regarding new functionality, code refactoring, documentation extension, and test coverage. In particular, adding Arbitrum One, a public Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, also known as an Optimistic Rollup, as a new verifiable data store for the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) anchored on the ITN besides Hyperledger Fabric, a private DLT network.

MOBI and Gaia-X 4 moveID announced a joint initiative to advance cross-industry interoperability. The initiative focused on the joint implementation of two pioneering MOBI standards — MOBI Vehicle Identity (VID) and MOBI Battery Birth Certificate (BBC). More specifically, the initiative centered around linking physical objects — e.g., vehicles and their parts such as batteries — to Web3 digital identities and credentials. Read the press release

In Stage 1, implementers demonstrated the ITN identity services of one-to-one cross-validation for battery identity and data. The ITN serves as a federated (member-built and operated) registry for World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), offering Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) management for connected entities such as batteries and their value chain participants.

This pivotal meeting, hosted in partnership with DENSO, brought together member companies united in their commitment to driving circularity, compliance, and resilience across the battery sector through the development of the GBP MVP. Members reviewed the work done in Stage 1 and prepared for Stage 2.

Minor release that updated primarily the ITN storage network besides overall node improvements.

Minor release. Added primarily expanded DID management capabilities and continuous node improvement.

In the first year of the GBPS initiative, MOBI and its members concentrated on understanding global regulatory requirements and developing use cases aligned with Web3 technology for secure battery data management. Core technical achievements include the implementation of verifiable credentials, selective data disclosure, track and trace of asset ownership, and secure data exchange.

Battery SOH is an important variable that not only defines the performance of the batteries but also stands as one of the key factors in economic decisions related to the resale, recycling, repurposing, and reuse of such batteries and battery-powered devices. Developed with members of the Electric Vehicle Grid Integration (EVGI) II Working Group, this white paper offers guidance on the current state of practice and proposes a framework for SOH labeling and certification in line with critical regulations.
