ShareLedger is ShareRing's privacy-first public blockchain. It anchors verifiable credentials and identity proofs without exposing the underlying personal data.
ShareLedger has a public block explorer. You do not need an account, an API key or our permission to audit it: block production, the validator set, the fee on every transaction and the governance record are all readable by anybody, right now.
The validator set, and how evenly the vote is spread across it.

On-chain modules
Identity is a transaction type, not a bolt-on.
Filter the explorer’s transactions by type and the usual Cosmos modules are there, bank, governance and slashing among them.

What is ShareLedger?
The foundational layer of the ShareRing ecosystem
ShareLedger is the foundational layer of the ShareRing ecosystem, designed to enable on-chain reputation and off-chain identity management through decentralised identifiers (DIDs). As an Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) enabled, permissioned public network within the Cosmos blockchain ecosystem, ShareLedger offers developers a robust platform for building identity-gated services.
How your data is protected
ShareLedger never stores personal data on-chain.
It records only tamper-evident hashes and consent receipts. Credentials stay inside the ShareRing Me wallet on the user’s device, so data minimisation is built into the architecture.

The rules, in the open
Nothing here is a private setting.
Every parameter that governs ShareLedger is published, and changing one takes a vote. The active set is capped at 100 validators. A validator that misses too much of a 15,160 block window is jailed.
Governance
Every upgrade went to a vote.
Seven proposals, all passed, and every one of them is readable. The upgrade that brought CosmWasm smart contracts to the chain. The change that made IBC possible. The slashing window, and the fee distribution. A proposal needs a quorum of a third and half the votes cast to carry, inside a two day window.
Running now
Contracts with millions of executions behind them.
The busiest contract on the chain has been executed more than 22 million times. ShareRing’s own VCT and dVCT credential contracts sit alongside it, each with their own count. Every contract, its creator, its admin and how often it has run is listed, and none of it needs our permission to read.
Built for audited industries
Anchoring credentials on-chain gives regulated businesses a cryptographic audit trail.
Every verification is cryptographically anchored to ShareLedger: tamper-evident, timestamped, and independent of any single party.
Built under ShareRing's ISO 27001 information security programme
ShareLedger is ShareRing's privacy-first public blockchain. It anchors verifiable credentials and identity proofs without exposing the underlying personal data, so individuals keep control of what is shared and organisations receive cryptographic certainty.
How does ShareLedger protect personal data?
ShareLedger never stores personal data on-chain. It records only tamper-evident hashes and consent receipts. Credentials stay inside the ShareRing Me wallet on the user's device, so data minimisation is built into the architecture.
How is ShareLedger different from general-purpose blockchains?
General-purpose chains are optimised for programmable assets. ShareLedger is purpose-built for verifiable identity, with native primitives for issuance, verification, and revocation of credentials.
Build on the identity chain.
By integrating ShareLedger's advanced identity solutions, users and developers can engage with a secure, interoperable, and efficient blockchain environment, paving the way for a more trustworthy and decentralised digital future.
