YAN'AN, China, March 5, 2026 — GEDIS (Global Electronic Data Interchange System) was officially unveiled globally today, with its official website (https://www.gedis3601.com.cn) simultaneously going live. The launch marks a critical step forward for Yan'an in the innovation of global digital trade rules.

The GEDIS system is a set of decentralized digital asset circulation protocols based on blockchain technology. Centered on the DID (Decentralized Identifier) framework, it grants every participating entity a globally recognizable and verifiable digital identity, supporting integration with multi-currency and digital currency settlement tools. In China, DID registration requires binding with a Digital RMB wallet—a design that not only meets national financial security and compliance requirements but also expands the interconnectivity pathways between Digital RMB and global digital currencies and settlement instruments. Through its innovative integration of the DID system, the CID (Content Identifier) system, and the G-TRAC (Global Tradable Real-Asset Certificate) anchoring warrant, GEDIS unifies the entire process—from production rights confirmation and trade circulation to financial settlement—elevating digital trade from the traditional import and export of goods to the cross-border circulation of digital assets.

Research on the GEDIS system began in 2017, with the Yan'an Cross-border Digital Trade Service Center deeply involved throughout. After eight years of continuous exploration and technological development, the system has now entered the full-scale platform implementation phase. The Yan'an Service Trade Trusted Data Space, serving as the global DID certification center, has completed development of its DID Master System Version 1.0, which is now operational. Overseas production platforms and system construction are advancing efficiently. On September 23, 2024, at the Yan'an Advanced Equipment Manufacturing and New Materials Industry Promotion Conference during the 8th Silk Road International Expo, the Yan'an Cross-border Digital Trade Service Center signed a strategic cooperation agreement with MONEXALL LLC of Mongolia.

Today, at the China-Mongolia Digital Livestock Industry Collaborative Demonstration Park, the value of the GEDIS rules has been fully validated. "Taking the first-phase 3-square-kilometer deep processing zone as the platform, we have systematically injected mature Chinese industrial data models and production management standards. The overall industrial value-added potential of the park has increased from approximately 20% under traditional models to 94%," said Suh, Chairman of the Board of Mongolia's MONEXALL LLC.

The GEDIS system's pioneering "Dual-Center Dumbbell" architectural model innovatively resolves the tension between data sovereignty and global circulation. It has passed authoritative evaluation by the China Association for Promoting Science and Technology. "It facilitates cross-border digital connections between countries or projects with different political, economic, and cultural backgrounds, transforming traditional investment and trade models under the Belt and Road Initiative." A panel of academicians, including Zhang Ping and Zhang Hongke, certified that the GEDIS system has achieved "overall technology at an internationally advanced level" and its "practical model has reached an internationally leading level."

"GEDIS enables labor, creativity, and data to be authenticated as tradable and circulable digital assets, realizing the fair global circulation and distribution of value," said Li Dong, Director of the Yan'an Cross-border Digital Trade Service Center. "GEDIS has achieved a transition from 'commodity export' to 'digital asset operations,' forming the first batch of RMB-denominated globally investable digital assets. Its ecological philosophy of 'rule neutrality, value sharing' provides a Chinese approach and offers a Yan'an practice for building a fairer and more secure global digital economy development environment."
