Your systems connect through a thin connector layer. Trust and policy are enforced in the middle. Everything rests on open, agreed standards.

Trust by agreement, not by ownership
No party — including NoTN — sits above the others. Participants agree the rules: who may request what, under which legal basis, and how it is proven. The framework is enforced technically and legally, and shaped by founding members and facilitators.

What it takes to be interoperable
A participant is conformant when its connector passes these checks. Conformance is tested in a sandbox corridor before going live.
