Welcome to ISBE
Spain Blockchain Services Infrastructure
ISBE is the public-permissioned blockchain services infrastructure of Spain, the first infrastructure in Europe designed from the ground up to comply with the European qualified distributed ledger technology (qDLT) framework under EU Regulation 2025/2531.
This page is a single reference guide for the onboarding process: all the information, resources, and steps to start deploying your solution in ISBE.
Onboarding Requirements
- Main Requirement: Your company must have a valid Digital Certificate for Legal Representative to register and access the ISBE infrastructure.
- Don't have a digital certificate? Contact the ISBE technical team, and we will guide you through access alternatives and the steps to follow.
Onboarding Process (Step by Step)
Follow these 9 steps to complete your integration into the network:
The durations shown for each step are indicative estimates and may vary depending on the complexity of your use case and team availability.
You don't need to complete the onboarding to start writing and testing code: you can spin up a local ISBE network with npm install @red-isbe/isbe-contracts, and once you get access to PRE you will only need to change the RPC URL. See Build on ISBE.
