What is it? - PRO

Una ERIR (Registration and Registry Identification Entity) is a recognized legal figure within the Spanish and European regulatory framework that acts as responsible for the registration, verification, custody and electronic identification of individuals, entities and legal acts in digital systems. These entities have as their main function ensure authenticity, integrity and legal validity of electronically recorded information, serving as trusted and audited node in processes where public faith, traceability and regulatory compliance are required.

ERIRs are essential in environments such as tokenization of financial, real estate or business assets, since they allow the recording of structured data (such as ownership, shares, rights or obligations) under technical security and legal compliance standards. Your intervention provides probative value, prevents fraud and guarantees that the identity of the parties involved has been validated in accordance with KYC/KYB and legislation in force.

In the blockchain ecosystem, an ERIR can be integrated as trusted source that certifies identity and content which is represented by a token, ensuring that the underlying legal structure complies with applicable regulations (for example, in the case of a Security Token Or of a digital representation of a stock or bond). You can also act as responsible for the registry system of smart contracts validated under regulatory environments such as the Securities Market Act or MiCA.

In addition, ERIRs are subject to oversight, transparency and external auditing requirements, and they must operate in accordance with technical standards defined by the competent authority (such as the CNMV, SEPBLAC or equivalent entities in the MiFID II environment). Its role is key in the convergence between legal security, digital identity and blockchain technology.
