There are many different ways to issue verifiable credentials signed by DIDs anchored on cheqd, with options for easy integration (e.g. cheqd Studio) and more bespoke integrations (e.g. Credo and Veramo). Below are a list of options for issuing credentials with cheqd underneath:
Credo
Credo is an SDK which supports the European Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF) standards as well as AnonCreds with full cheqd support for DIDs.
cheqd Studio
Our API product supports simple credential issuance in JSON and JSON-LD formats.
Veramo
The Veramo SDK Plugin supports JSON, JSON-LD credentials as well as cheqd Credential Payments in an SDK.
Walt.id Community Stack
Walt.id Community Stack is an SDK that supports the European Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF) standards for identity, with full cheqd support.
You can use SaaS products from our partners to create best-in-class credential ecosystems, built on cheqd
Make sure you've set up your account with cheqd Studio, then you can start to:
Issue Credentials
Issue W3C conformant Verifiable Credentials easily over REST API.
Verify Credentials
Verify whether Credentials are valid, have been tampered or have expired.
Verify Presentation
Verify whether a combination of Credentials are valid, have been tampered or have expired.
cheqd supports all four major digital Credential types via its selection of SDKs and APIs. Below you can learn about these 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.
AnonCreds
AnonCreds is a credential format maintained by the Hyperledger Foundation, with functionality for zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and selective disclosure.
Depending on what type of credentials you want to use, choose the SDK that suits your tech stack:
