THG Lists IDTrust on IBM Cloud Catalog for AI Agent Verification
THG’s IDTrust platform joins the IBM Cloud Catalog, offering enterprises a way to verify the identity and authority of autonomous AI agents.
Key points
- THG’s IDTrust is the first Hedera-based commercial app on the IBM Cloud Catalog.
- The platform verifies the identity and authority of autonomous AI agents for enterprises.
- Gartner predicts 40% of enterprise apps will embed AI agents by the end of 2026.
The Hashgraph Group (THG) announced on September 23, 2026, that its IDTrust platform is now listed on the IBM Cloud Catalog. This move makes the identity solution available to IBM’s global enterprise clients.
IDTrust is the first commercial application built on Hedera technology to be sold as a service on a major cloud marketplace. It provides verifiable identity for artificial intelligence agents, devices, and humans.
Verifying autonomous software agents
Companies are increasingly using AI agents to handle contracts and financial transactions. These agents act without constant human supervision. This creates a security gap. Organizations need to confirm that an agent is authorized to act on their behalf.
IDTrust addresses this by providing decentralized identity verification. It uses enterprise-grade cryptography to ensure that an agent is who it claims to be. This process is often referred to as Know Your Agent, or KYA.
Partnership details and market context
THG also achieved IBM Silver Partner status after meeting technical certification standards. The company signed a global Embedded Solution Agreement with IBM. This allows THG to integrate IBM technology into its own products for resale.
The timing of this launch is significant for the industry. Gartner projects that 40% of enterprise applications will embed AI agents by the end of 2026. This is a sharp increase from less than 5% in 2025. Other firms, like Akamai, are also launching verification frameworks.
Access for enterprise clients
IBM’s Vice President for Partner Ecosystems noted the value of this connection. The listing allows organizations to access decentralized identity tools directly. This helps them integrate and scale new technologies within their existing infrastructure.
According to a press release via PR Newswire, THG is a Swiss-based technology engineering company. It builds solutions on Hedera’s distributed ledger technology. This infrastructure provides the underlying security for the IDTrust platform.
