The MoU establishes a framework for cooperation between the two parties to leverage Dhiway’s expertise with support and guidance from ONDC in building open, secure, and transparent digital ecosystems using CORD, an open-source, layer-one distributed ledger framework.
The Network is envisioned as a decentralized, open and interoperable infrastructure that will facilitate trust and reliability in the digital landscape. By leveraging CORD, the Network will provide a robust infrastructure to enable secure and transparent participant interactions.

CORD has been crafted to enable the creation of transformative population-scale applications, harnessing the power of cryptography and open standards. Its unique features, including persistent identifiers, immutable data history, seamless interoperability, and comprehensive data registries, ensure trust, verifiability, and privacy within a digital ecosystem. With a strong focus on data security and privacy, CORD adapts to the evolving needs of organizations while adhering to open standards, ensuring seamless integration with the broader web ecosystem.
