Credentials Use Case introduction

Self-sovereignty is a key objective of Web3. “Not your keys, not your crypto” is a common mantra. Verifiable Credentials (a W3C standard) are a way to bring this self-sovereignty to your identity and build digital attestations about oneself in order to access products and services.

These attestations take the form of Verifiable Credentials (VCs) which involve a credential:Issuer, Holder and Verifier.

Some common use cases of credentials include:
KYC credentials that can be privately shared with a bank
KYC/AML credentials that can be shared with a regulatory compliant DeFi protocol
Government issued COVID-19 vaccination credentials
Credit score credentials enabling access to banking services from a financial organisation
Certified Verida Developer credentials to certify competence in the Verida framework
