Supported Credential types

Community Stack natively supports the following Credential formats:

SD-JWT

Selective Disclosure JWT (SD-JWT) is the most commonly adopted credential format for European Digital Identity Ecosystems, allowing users to selectively disclose which attributes they would like to share in a presentation.

JSON (JWT)

JSON Web Token (JWT) Credentials are a simple way to transmit Trusted Data as a JSON object.

JSON-LD

JSON-LD (Linked Data) Credentials are a richer data format, allowing applications to follow embedded links to other pieces of Linked Data across the web.
