Trust Stamp announced a three-year, multimillion-dollar agreement with Nigerian technology provider BLIP Limited on October 26, 2026, to supply AI-powered identity services for government programs in Nigeria. The Trust Stamp agreement is expected to support more than one million enrollments in its first year of rollout.

Key Takeaways

  • The three-year technology services and data sovereignty agreement is worth millions of dollars, though no precise value was disclosed.
  • The planned rollout is expected to exceed one million enrollments in its first year.
  • The system is intended to operate in a customer-hosted environment, with project data remaining under Nigerian control.

What the Trust Stamp agreement covers

BLIP provides digital registration and certification platforms for the Nigerian government. Under the agreement, Nasdaq-listed Trust Stamp will provide identity technology for government programs addressing a total population of tens of millions of people.

The first-year enrollment figure is an expectation, not a completed result. The announcement did not specify a rollout start date or identify the individual programs involved.

How the identity technology is intended to work

Trust Stamp said its Irreversibly Transformed Identity Token technology converts sensitive biometric data into revocable identity tokens. The company says the approach supports identity verification and fraud prevention while reducing risks associated with storing biometric data.

The solution is planned for a customer-hosted environment, with project data remaining under Nigerian control and processed in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. The companies said implementation will depend on factors including technical integration, governance, data protection and safeguards for users.

Companies outline partnership

Trust Stamp CEO Gareth N. Genner described the agreement as a milestone in the company's African growth strategy and one of its largest technology deployments to date.

BLIP CEO Freeman Musa Yusuf said the partnership combines Trust Stamp's biometric technology with BLIP's knowledge of Nigeria's institutional and technology environment.
