Tomorrow at 3pm we're hosting a space on X with our partner, Sovra: https://x.com/alignedlayer/status/1988280026614079710?s=20

Sovra is using our infrastructure to provide a decentralized identity solution that will be used by millions of citizens in latin america. We'll be talking about their recent announcement about working with the state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico (5million+ people) and how Aligned's infra lets them build this on top of Ethereum.

Very bullish stuff and work we're proud to be enabling. Set a reminder!
