Community credentials

Resonate, Mar 13, 2021

The W3C's Verifiable Credentials standard is a mechanism for proving things digitally. "A verifiable claim (VC) is a qualification, achievement, quality, or piece of information about an entity's background such as a name, government ID, payment provider, home address, or university degree." This might be an alternative to digital badges. The community credentials project from Resonate offers a reference implementation (see the technical overview) and according to a recent press release is nearing launch. Code on GitHub.
