+# 🚀 DSR Announcement: Heka Identity Platform Joins Hiero to Advance Decentralized Identity
+
+DSR recently shared an announcement on the LF Decentralized Trust blog on their recent contribution of their SSI toolkit to the Hiero project. This contribution is now open sourced as the [**Hiero Heka Identity Platform**](https://github.com/hiero-ledger/heka-identity-platform).
+
+🔐 Heka brings an enterprise-ready foundation for decentralized identity to the Hiero community, including mobile and web wallet frameworks, credential issuance and verification flows, backend services, and support for standards such as OpenID4VC, DIDComm, SD-JWT, and Anoncreds. Designed as a modular platform, it helps organizations build and deploy identity solutions faster while improving interoperability across public and permissioned environments.
+
+🤖 This contribution is especially important as demand grows for trusted digital identity across enterprise, regulatory, and AI-driven use cases. By bringing the Heka project into Hiero, the ecosystem gains a shared open-source foundation for verifiable credentials and decentralized identity that can support practical enterprise use cases while also enabling emerging AI agents.
+
+📣 Read the full announcement on the LFDT blog to explore what this contribution means for the future of decentralized trust and how the community can help drive the project’s continued growth.
