Who is more impacted by this disruption?

            All are impacted! The new Digital Economy is pervasive and
            driven by Data Spaces, the digitalization of the value chains,
               in economical, social, political, and natural ecosystems.
                                                                             3

(*) AISBL is an independent single point of truth in the determination of a Gaia-X compliancy, but the Association itself will not host or run directly any service. Qualification and compliance will be verified
through decentralized mechanisms of digital trust and consensus distributed across the network of Gaia-X nodes (i.e. AISBL stands to Gaia-X like a Registrar to the Internet)

Gaia-X Trust Framework

To ensure Trust the Gaia-X Trust Framework is:

•    Automated by Gaia-X specific components part of decentralized technology framework
•    Versioned, i.e. bound to a specific version in time of the Compliance rules set
•    Applied to the self-description file of all entities implied in the Gaia-X conceptual model (*)
•    Aimed to verify the existence and veracity of the attributes and not judging their value
(*) as defined as part of the Gaia-X Conceptual model described in the Gaia-X Architecture document
