Alastria

What Alastria does

Alastria (legal name: Asociación Consorcio Red Alastria) is a Madrid-headquartered, non-profit association and one of the world's largest public-permissioned, multi-sector blockchain platforms, bringing together over 500 member organisations across companies, academia, and public administration in Spain and Europe. Founded in 2017 and registered as a Spanish association, Alastria operates two public-permissioned blockchain networks, the Quorum-based T-Network and the Hyperledger Besu-based B-Network (the latter aligned with the European EBSI and Latin American LACChain infrastructures), both running under Proof of Authority consensus. Its flagship software product is Alastria_ID, a self-sovereign identity model using W3C Decentralised Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials, which became the technical basis for UNE 71307-1:2020, the first global standard for decentralised digital identity management on blockchain.

The organisation's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: organisations join as paying members under tiered annual fees (€500 small, €5,000 medium, €10,000 large; public bodies via partnership), gain access to networks, working groups, and ecosystem events, and participate in twelve sectoral committees spanning financial services, public administration, health, transport and logistics, real estate, energy and industry 4.0, legal, sustainability and ESG, agrifood, arts and digital culture, education, and cyber/AI. In 2025 Alastria launched ISBE (Infraestructura de Servicios Blockchain de España), a national public-permissioned infrastructure funded by the EU NextGenerationEU programme and backed by the Community of Madrid, positioned as the first European network designed to qualify as a qualified DLT under EU regulation. Complementary offerings include a Funding Desk (AEI-registered for consortium grant applications), the Blockchain Bites podcast, the annual Blockchain Awards, Alastria Legal publication, blockchain courses, and the Blockchain Map of Spain directory. Revenue is generated from membership subscriptions and EU/public grants; Alastria is not a venture-backed company and does not publicly disclose financial results.

Direct peers

• European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI): EU-wide public-permissioned blockchain infrastructure using the same Hyperledger Besu technology as Alastria's B-Network. It is the most direct institutional peer, sharing technology stack, governance model, and target use cases (digital identity, credential verification, regulatory traceability).
• LACChain: IDB-supported Latin American public-permissioned blockchain network built on Hyperledger Besu — the same stack as Alastria's B-Network. Alastria and LACChain are explicitly partnered, and they are the two regional counterparts in the global Besu-based public-permissioned ecosystem.
• R3 Corda: Enterprise-focused consortium distributed ledger platform used heavily by financial institutions. Comparable to Alastria as a permissioned DLT serving regulated industries through a member consortium model, though Corda is a for-profit vendor rather than a non-profit association.
• INATBA (International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications): Global multi-stakeholder association promoting trusted blockchain applications, of which Alastria is a member. Comparable as a blockchain industry association with similar policy, standards, and ecosystem-building missions.
• Sovrin Foundation: Non-profit stewarding the Sovrin Network for self-sovereign identity using W3C DIDs and Verifiable Credentials — the same standards underlying Alastria_ID. It is the closest functional peer in the SSI identity infrastructure category.
• TrustChain Foundation: EU-funded Next Generation Internet initiative (118+ open-source projects, 300+ developers) in which Alastria participates. Comparable as a related EU open-source blockchain foundation building reusable SSI and DLT components.

Broad incumbents

• Hyperledger Foundation: Linux Foundation-hosted umbrella for enterprise blockchain projects including Hyperledger Besu, the underlying technology of Alastria's B-Network and ISBE. Comparable as the open-source foundation enabling Alastria's infrastructure rather than as a direct competitor.
• Enterprise Ethereum Alliance: Global industry alliance promoting enterprise adoption of Ethereum-based technology. Comparable to Alastria as a multi-stakeholder consortium advocating standards-based enterprise blockchain, though it is not permissioned-first.

Emerging players

• IOTA Foundation: Non-profit foundation operating the IOTA distributed ledger, focused on industrial and IoT applications with EU institutional engagement. Comparable as a non-profit DLT foundation pursuing permissioned and public deployments in regulated contexts.

Others

• GSMA (eSIM / Digital Identity initiatives): Industry association driving mobile-operator digital identity and eSIM standards relevant to EUDI Wallet ecosystems. Comparable as an adjacent ecosystem partner addressing cross-sector digital identity, though not a blockchain-native peer.
