Addressing gaps in identity verification, data provenance, and interoperability across emerging digital ecosystems is an increasingly urgent priority for industry participants. The collaboration between GLEIF and Finternet Lab reflects a shared commitment to overcoming these challenges by enabling secure, verifiable identity and transaction systems – fostering greater trust and participation across the global digital economy, supporting sustainable and resilient economic growth.
Under the MoU, the organizations will jointly explore pathways for integrating GLEIF's verifiable Legal Entity Identifier (vLEI) credentials with Finternet Lab's suite of open-source tools – including the Universal Information Tokenisation System (UNITS), decentralized identity frameworks (DeDi), and transaction infrastructure protocols.
Pioneered by GLEIF as the secure digital counterpart of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI), the vLEI represents a standardized form of digital organizational identity. By equipping organizations and their representatives with cryptographically verifiable identities, the vLEI offers a comprehensive solution for establishing a global digital trust ecosystem.
The partnership will explore and demonstrate the real-world applications of vLEI credentials across various use-cases, including decentralized finance, environmental reporting, and supply chain traceability. Planned initiatives include pilot projects, hackathons, and developer trainings, alongside technical reviews of enabling protocols such as Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI). The partnership also seeks to define common standards and governance models for trusted digital identity layers at scale.
Ivan Mortimer-Schutts, Global Head of vLEI, GLEIF, comments: 'GLEIF is committed to partnering with organizations that share our mission of building a foundation of trust in the digital world. This latest collaboration represents a critical step toward realizing a globally interoperable identity layer that serves both legacy and emerging digital ecosystems. By aligning our vLEI credentials with Finternet's open-source tools, we are enabling secure, consent-based data sharing that supports innovation, regulatory integrity, and inclusive and sustainable economic growth.'
Siddharth Shetty, Co-Creator, Finternet Lab, comments: "Our collaboration with GLEIF aligns closely with our vision of universal access to trusted, open digital infrastructures. Integrating vLEI credentials into our ecosystem marks an exciting step towards ensuring interoperable, secure identities across diverse digital environments. Together, we are committed to enabling greater economic participation and innovation through robust, verifiable digital frameworks."

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A foodie has revealed that she wanted a trendy birthday cake to celebrate her special day in style Credit: tiktok/@alexandratobie_ 2 But Alexandra Tobie was left gutted when her order arrived - and it's so bad people claimed they would have refused to pay Credit: tiktok/@alexandratobie_ But when her cake arrived, the content creator was lost for words and left in tears by the fail. And not only have people said they 'wouldn't have paid' for the cake, but others suggested it looked like it had been made by a child. Posting on social media, Alexandra gave her followers a close-up look at the glamorous cake she had requested, as she wrote: 'What I ordered…' Alexandra had asked for a pink heart-shaped cake, with a bold black font that read 'That Girl Since '03'. The cake she had in mind featured incredibly neat piping around the edges and even had a glitter spray on it. But moments later, Alexandra shared a snap of what she actually got, which unfortunately looked nothing like she had hoped. While the cake was in fact pink, the black text was instead yellow and nowhere near as stylish. Not only this, but the cake itself wasn't the same heart shape Alexandra had asked for. And if that wasn't bad enough, the top of the cake featured a rogue blue heart, as well as a random splodge of blue icing, which appeared to be a mistake. Clearly gutted with her birthday cake, alongside a crying and broken heart emoji, Alexandra sobbed: 'It's so ugly omg.' I DIY-ed a 'professional' level kids' birthday cake for less than £25 using Amazon & eBay buys - I didn't bake a thing The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @alexandratobie_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has amassed 82,100 views. Not only this, but it's also racked up 3,795 likes, 166 comments, 439 saves and 352 shares. Hacks for Keeping Food Fresh in Your Fridge IF you want your food to stay fresh, you'll need to try out this useful hacks... Herbs in Water: Store fresh herbs like parsley and coriander in a glass of water, then cover with a plastic bag to keep them fresh for weeks. Wrap Greens in Paper Towels: Wrap leafy greens in paper towels before placing them in a plastic bag. The towels absorb excess moisture, preventing wilting. Use Mason Jars: Store salads, chopped vegetables, and even leftovers in mason jars. They are airtight and keep food fresher for longer. Revive Stale Bread: Sprinkle a bit of water on stale bread and pop it in the oven for a few minutes to make it fresh again. Baking Soda for Odours: Place an open box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb odours and keep food tasting fresh. Freeze Herbs in Olive Oil: Chop herbs and freeze them in olive oil using an ice cube tray. This preserves their flavour and makes them easy to use. Keep Cheese Fresh: Wrap cheese in wax paper instead of plastic wrap. Wax paper allows the cheese to breathe, preventing it from becoming slimy. Store Avocados with Onions: Place a cut avocado in an airtight container with a slice of onion. The sulphur compounds in the onion slow down oxidation, keeping the avocado fresh. Use Vinegar Wash for Berries: Rinse berries in a mixture of water and vinegar (one cup of vinegar to three cups of water) before storing. This kills bacteria and mould spores, extending their shelf life. Egg Freshness Test: To check if eggs are still fresh, place them in a bowl of water. Fresh eggs will sink, while old ones will float. Implement these clever hacks to maximise the freshness of your food and make the most of your groceries. Social media users were left 'screaming' by the cake blunder and many eagerly flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on Alexandra's purchase. One person said: 'I know my entire year would be ruined with a cake like that!' I wouldn't have paid TikTok user Another added: 'Even the colours are not communicating. I'd cry a river.' A third commented: 'They didn't even try.' Meanwhile, someone else slammed: 'I wouldn't have paid.' At the same time, a mother chimed in and claimed: 'Looks like my five year old did it.'

Painter gets 'sweet revenge' on customer who refused to pay for garden fence job
A tradesman has shared his fury after a customer refused to pay for a service, so he decided to take matters into his own hands and get 'revenge' on the non-paying client A painter and decorator has vented his frustration after a client booked him to paint their garden fence but failed to settle the bill. Seething and out of pocket, the aggrieved tradesman took matters into his own hands to exact retribution. He's now issued a stark warning to anyone dissatisfied with a service or who dodges payment. With summer upon us and more time spent in our gardens, it's an opportune moment for a bit of outdoor rejuvenation. A homeowner engaged Finishing Touch Sprayers to revamp their garden fence. They requested a transformation from the original brown wood to a chic dark grey. But once the painting was complete, the customer expressed dissatisfaction and consequently withheld payment. The irate painter, having "worked really hard" on the task, plotted his revenge. In a TikTok video, he showed his audience the contentious grey fence. Following the non-payment, the labourer declared: "Can't pay, we'll take it away." He proceeded to apply paint stripper to the fence and then blasted it with a pressure washer, reverting the fences back to their natural golden brown hue. "Took our paint back because [the] customer wouldn't pay," he stated. He then posed the question to his viewers: "Would you do the same?". In a subsequent update, he revealed: "They're asking me to come back and paint it again, saying they'll pay double the amount up front now." The viral video sparked a flurry of comments from viewers. One person remarked: "Never understand why people think they can just not pay for work one has any morals anymore." Another quipped, "Looks better now," while a different user commented: "I'll never understand why people ruin their fences with awful grey paint. I bet they were glad they didn't pay now." Another TikTok enthusiast chimed in with praise, saying: "You did them a favour, looks fab." However, another viewer sought to clarify, pointing out: "You think a pressure washer took the paint off? He clearly added a paint stripper then pressure washed it off. Hence the before look." Consumer rights experts at Resolver have pitched in to explain your entitlements when dealing with tradesmen. According to a spokesperson: "If the tradesman failed to deliver what you expected when undertaking work you need to ensure you raise the issue with them as you notice it. It is important not to let lots of little things add up and fester as then they became hard to resolve. First raise the immediately and if you can keep a record of issues that you have raised and what was agreed." Their guidance concludes with: "If you do not pay then the tradesman has the right to remove what they have done or they may take you to Court. You should therefore be fair and reasonable in your approach."

Stormy Impact makes it Dash delight for Warren Fentiman
The son of weighing-room veteran Duran Fentiman, the 17-year-old's star has been in the ascendancy during the winter on the all-weather and his 5lb claim looks a steal. With a furlong to run Richard Fahey's filly still had more in front of her than behind, but when her young pilot switched the 7-1 shot to the middle of the track she flew to beat Lexington Blitz by a length. Fentiman said: 'I was going to go to the stands rail, but I knew there wouldn't be a gap for me, so I've just gone down the middle, took a risk and hopefully it's paid off. 'She's a very nice filly. Dad will be delighted to see me have a winner like this on Derby day, it's just a dream really. I can't thank Richard enough for the support and letting me ride on a big day like this, it's a privilege. 'Early on I thought she was outpaced and how these Epsom races are run they keep on going. I thought if we got placed I would be delighted, but all of a sudden she changed her stride and has just gone. As I was coming up to the leaders I thought I could have this in the bag and she was brilliant.' Fahey added: 'It's a new race, but I've never actually won a sprint on Derby day so that was brilliant. 'She'll definitely go to Royal Ascot now for the Palace of Holyrood, that's the route for her now. 'At halfway we were near last and they must have gone very quick as she's not slow and she was struggling to lay up with them. 'I came here confident, but I was struggling to find the right race for her. I had to run her over six furlongs at Newmarket, but I think five furlongs is her forte, she's all speed.'
