♻️Charge for Verifiable Credentials
Credential Payments brings a significant evolution to the Verifiable Credentials landscape, allowing verifiers to directly pay issuers to unlock Credential Status information. Underneath the hood, we've engineered a robust and secure payment flow that streamlines the end-to-end payment process, with accuracy, speed, and cryptographic integrity.
Get started
Create encrypted Status Lists on-ledger, and pay to unlock the Access Control Conditions in CHEQ, using our cheqd Studio Payments APIs:
Charge for Status List
With Credential Payments, Issuers are able to create payment-gated Status Lists in order to charge for the verification of Credential Status information.
Issue Credential with Encrypted Status List
Issue a Verifiable Credential referencing an encrypted Status List in the body, with a specified bitstring index.
Verifier pays Issuer
Understand how a Verifier pays an Issuer in CHEQ to unlock Status List and verify Credential Status.
Bulk Update or Rotate Encryption Keys
Update a set of Credential indices or rotate the encrypted symmetric key for the Status List.
