Vendor-Neutral Standardization Initiative

References on this page do not imply endorsement, certification, or commercial partnership.

VeritasChain Standards Organization (VSO) is a vendor-neutral standardization organization. VSO does not promote or recommend specific vendors, products, or services. No collaboration or partnership with any third party is currently listed on this page.

Technical Collaboration &
Research Network

VSO seeks collaboration with academic institutions, standardization bodies, and research organizations to advance the VeritasChain Protocol (VCP) as an open, vendor-neutral standard for algorithmic trading auditability.

Standardization Venues: Current Standing

Current standing: five individual IETF Internet-Drafts (none adopted by any Working Group); VSO's ITU-T SG17 liaison statement was returned by the TSB; no submission has been made to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 or ISO/TC 68. No standards body has adopted or approved VSO specifications.

FIX Trading Community

Developing VCP integration specifications as a "sidecar" for existing FIX engines, enabling seamless compatibility with industry-standard protocols.

Integration Status: VSO-side technical alignment only (no FIX Trading Community review, adoption, or endorsement)

ISO/TC 68 (Financial Services)

Potential future venue for international standardization in the financial services sector. No submission has been made.

Standardization Level: No submission

VC-Certified Implementations

No organization has yet obtained VC-Certified status: there are zero external implementations of VCP and zero Evidence Packs accepted in any proceeding. VeritasChain Co., Ltd. (the operating base of VSO) holds ten paid service contracts with European organizations in regulatory technology, financial trading, and audit and assurance (client names withheld pending individual consent). The entries below are illustrative placeholders. Listing does not imply VSO endorsement.

VC-Certified Tier Badges

Tier badges (Platinum / Gold / Silver) are assigned through the VC-Certified program by accredited Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) after conformity assessment against the VCP specification; VSO itself does not assess. A tier badge does not constitute endorsement by VSO. The only CAB listed so far is VeritasChain Co., Ltd., which is not independent of the scheme owner (see the CAB registry).

Certification status, including revocation, is designed to be checkable through the Explorer; the Explorer API is not yet deployed.
