INDIANOLA, Iowa, Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sovrin Foundation Board of Trustees has unanimously approved IdRamp to be a Steward of the Sovrin Network distributed ledger. IdRamp will operate and maintain a validator node, tasked with ensuring the availability and integrity of the world's first decentralized ledger built for self-sovereign identity.
