Looking ahead, CFCA plans to leverage its extensive technical foundation and rich practical experience in the field of digital identity to initiate a series of forward-looking, impactful developments related to vLEI.

In expanding the applications of digital identity, CFCA aims to integrate vLEI deeply with digital certificates, significantly advancing the broad use of global digital identity in electronic certification

For instance, during personal and corporate account registration, real-time validation of vLEI and digital certificates will ensure accurate and efficient identity verification, effectively preventing issues such as identity impersonationConsider an example where a user registers an online banking account—the system instantaneously cross-references the vLEI and digital certificate, confirming the user’s identity authenticity and laying a secure foundation for subsequent financial servicesIn the context of account transactions, using digital certificates alongside vLEI for anti-tampering signatures ensures the completeness and non-repudiation of each transaction record, rendering the transaction process transparent and secureThis mitigates transaction risks, particularly during significant enterprise fund transfers where the signature verification mechanism ensures the authenticity and integrity of transfer instructions, safeguarding company funds against malicious alterationsFurthermore, when it comes to authorization certifications, real-time verification of digital identities accurately determines whether actions align with the actual intentions of the individuals involved, providing reliable evidence for financial transactions and contract signings, thereby reducing disputes arising from unclear authorizations.

Within the realm of contract signing, CFCA aims to provide enterprises with globally credible online signing tools through vLEIDuring the signing phase of a contract, utilizing vLEI to confirm the true identity of signatories, paired with digital certificate encryption techniques, ensures the legal validity and security of signaturesFor example, when multinational corporations execute business cooperation agreements, CFCA’s online signing tools enable the verification of both parties’ identities based on vLEI, and the signing is encrypted via digital certificates, facilitating efficient and secure contract signing irrespective of geographic constraints

During the verification phase of a contract, it allows for rapid and precise validation of the contract's authenticity and completenessIf any signs of tampering are detected, the system promptly raises an alert, thus protecting the legal rights of both partiesIn terms of judicial evidence verification, CFCA’s verification services will provide robust support for resolving contract disputesThe verification outcomes based on vLEI and digital certificates hold a high level of credibility in judicial practice, significantly enhancing both efficiency and fairness in judicial processes.

In the sphere of supply chain finance, the application of vLEI by CFCA is poised to play a critical roleThe issues of information asymmetry and credit risk within supply chain finance have persistently impeded effective capital flow and financing convenienceBy integrating identity information and transaction data of various enterprises within the supply chain through vLEI, CFCA establishes a comprehensive credit assessment systemFinancial institutions can rapidly obtain true identities and transaction histories of enterprises through vLEI, enabling accurate credit status assessments, thereby reducing credit risks arising from lack of transparencyFor instance, when a supplier applies for accounts receivable financing from a financial institution, the financial institution can utilize vLEI to review the supplier's transaction records and payment histories with core enterprises to swiftly assess financing risks, offering suppliers more convenient and favorable financing services, facilitating seamless capital flow, and boosting the competitiveness and stability of the entire supply chain.

Additionally, CFCA plans to integrate data credentials assessing enterprises' sustainable development capabilities across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) dimensions to advance the establishment of a trustworthy identity-based business system

By associating vLEI with ESG data, it can closely link corporate sustainability performance with corporate identity, encouraging enterprises to prioritize their ESG developmentSimultaneously, this provides regulators and investors with more comprehensive and trustworthy information about enterprises, enhancing the credibility of vLEI certificates at the official levelFor example, when an enterprise applies for green finance loans, financial institutions can quickly access the enterprise’s ESG assessment data via vLEI to determine eligibility against green finance standards, thereby facilitating more targeted allocations of green finance.

The potential of CFCA’s vLEI application is equally vast in the areas of cross-border payment settlements and international trade logisticsIn cross-border payment systems, vLEI can simplify cumbersome identity verification and transaction procedures, reducing communication and time costs among intermediariesBy interfacing with international payment systems, vLEI allows for the quick and accurate transmission of payment information, driving down settlement costs and increasing payment efficiencyIt also supports the automated execution of smart contracts, performing cross-border payment settlements upon satisfying pre-defined conditions, considerably mitigating human operational risks and time delaysIn the smart cross-border trade and logistics ecosystem, vLEI serves as the exclusive digital identity for enterprises and goods, interlinking various phases from trade contract signing to cargo transportation and customs declaration, thus enabling real-time information sharing and full-chain tracking, enhancing the overall efficiency of cross-border trade and logisticsFor example, during cargo transit, logistics providers can swiftly obtain information regarding the sender, receiver, and goods through vLEI, efficiently scheduling transport routes and plans, while customs and other regulatory entities can manage cargo dynamics in real-time via vLEI, resulting in expedited customs clearance that extends China's trust in digital identity to a global scale, promoting interconnectedness in global trade and finance.
