is a purpose-built network for decentralised identity. This documentation site provides technical and product information for all identity features & functionality on the cheqd network.
cheqd maintains an array of products and packages with varying levels of integration complexity to allow its partners and customers to have multiple ways of plugging into cheqd's identity functionality. Via these different packages, customers and partners can create cheqd DIDs, DID-Linked Resources, Status Lists, Trust Registries and Schemas, as well as use cheqd's Credential Payments model.
There are three core ways of integrating and building with cheqd:
cheqd's identity functionality is fully standards compliant, ensuring interoperability and no vendor lock-in. cheqd's tooling and different product offerings offer a variety of building blocks for any Trusted Data Market.
cheqd Studio is the easiest route to get started with cheqd's identity functionality, or for testing with very low integration effort. Using simple REST APIs, it is possible to integrate cheqd Studio in a few lines of code.
cheqd supports a wide array of standards and protocols via different Software Development Kits (SDKs) and integrations.
One of cheqd's primary motives is to make itself accessible to the widest set of identity applications possible. To accomplish this, cheqd has built a flexible set of packages and tooling to accommodate its identity capabilities into a broad set of external SDKs and applications.
These can be represented through the visual below:
You can also leverage SaaS products from our partners to build high-quality credential ecosystems on top of cheqdâs infrastructure:

If you want to utilise cheqd DIDs or DID-Linked Resources within applications without a specific cheqd integration, you can incorporate a Universal Registrar or Universal Resolver driver to support alongside other commonly adopted DID methods.
Under the hood, cheqd Studio utilises the , providing the most feature complete set of functionality and tooling.
If you'd rather build a deeper integration or lower level package, we've created a simple diagram to show how our packages are structured below.
