Trust Native Data Spaces with DLT for User-Centric Decentralised Web Era
Governance
Token and asset creation and exchange
Use Cases
DLT as trust anchor infrastructure
The project focused on pre-standardisation activities and stimulating future standardisation with a clear identification of potential work items to support trust-native data spaces with DLT for the user-centric decentralised Web (Web 3.0) era.
One of the main focuses was to support digital asset trading in a decentralised trust-based data ecosystem. In order to successfully build a user-centric data infrastructure, data governance is very important from an EU perspective. In this context, the project activity addressed the following issues:
- digital rights to enable individuals to access, use, create and publish digital media (assets) or to access and use computers, other electronic devices and telecommunication networks,
- data sovereignty to support the right to control and store data with the emergence of new distributed cloud technologies,
- data ownership as the act of having legal rights and full control over a single piece or set of data elements, and
- data stewardship to ensure the quality and fitness for purpose of the organisation's data assets, including the metadata associated with those data assets.
To support the above issues for trading digital assets, the project's Web 3.0 aims to achieve a data-driven economy on data spaces with blockchain/DLT.
The ITU-T Web3 adhoc group has been developing the two Technical Reports as follows:
Technical Report, “Trustworthy Data Infrastructure for Web 3.0”
Technical Report, “Network enhancement for supporting web3.0 technologies”
The above Technical Reports will be published after approval at the SG13 meeting in March 2025.

The Web 3.0 for supporting trust-native data spaces with DLT for the user-centric decentralised ecosystem needs to create a harmonised view on future standardisation among stakeholders by exchanging information and opinions on emerging issues and preparing the future of the Internet.
