About TRISA
The Travel Rule Information Sharing Alliance (TRISA) is an open industry community building secure, interoperable, open-source infrastructure for Travel Rule compliance. Founded in 2020, TRISA now operates under the OpenVASP Association.
To support the growth of the digital asset ecosystem with open, secure and accessible protocols and tools that help virtual asset service providers (VASPs) comply with the Travel Rule.
Community-led, with clear stewardship
OpenVASP Association
The Swiss-based association that is the organizational home for the Working Group, GDS and Envoy, and owns the TRISA network and Envoy codebase.
TRISA Working Group
VASP operators, regulators, technical implementers and legal advisors who meet weekly. Anyone can join.
Technical Subcommittee
Oversees changes to the TRISA white paper, which defines the protocol.
Infrastructure operator: Rotational Labs, a TRISA Service Provider, operates TRISA's infrastructure on OpenVASP's behalf, contributes to the open-source codebase and offers a managed Envoy service.
Open infrastructure for the Travel Rule
Open protocol
The TRISA white paper defines the protocol. Its source code and documentation are open source.
Read the docs →Global Directory Service
A directory of verified VASPs. The TRISA Verified Certificate Authority issues the identity certificates VASPs use to join it.
Visit the directory →TRISA Envoy
Envoy is open-source, encrypted Travel Rule messaging software for VASPs, designed strictly for secure peer-to-peer messaging. It is open and protocol-agnostic: TRISA is its native protocol, and Envoy is designed to interoperate with any protocol willing to connect. Exchange data through TRISA and TRP, with Sunrise email-assisted exchange for counterparties outside those networks. Run it yourself or choose managed hosting from Rotational Labs.

IVMS101
TRISA uses the IVMS101 data model, the global standard for describing Travel Rule originator and beneficiary information.
Travel Rule Protocol (TRP)
TRISA interoperates with TRP, the open, royalty-free protocol that the OpenVASP Association also maintains.

Compliance, legal and technical teams are welcome at our weekly Working Group calls.
Guiding Principles
Open Architecture
TRISA provides interoperability with open security standards and emerging messaging standards such as InterVASP, OpenVASP, and BIP75, and easy integrations backend systems.
Open Source
TRISA made the code open source, and the reference architecture is freely available on GitHub.
Secure
TRISA applies the proven Certificate Authority (CA) model to reliably identify and verify VASPs.
Private
VASPs and financial institutions can immediately begin using this trusted technology to comply with FATF regulations. Confidently transmit originator and beneficiary transaction data
Decentralized
Peer-to-peer design eliminates single point of failure and provides resilience to denial of service (DDoS) and scales to accommodate extreme volumes.
Reliable
Strong mutual authentication ensures PII will not be sent to wrong VASP.
