Three uncompromising
principles.
Every design decision in OpenCred flows from these foundations.
01

User-Centric

Complete custody. No intermediary. Users hold the control to their own credentials and decide what to share and with whom.

02

Privacy-Preserving

Zero storage beyond processing. Cryptographic integrity at every layer without compromising personal information.

03

Decentralized

No single point of failure. Works across use cases, sectors, and geographies without vendor lock-in.

What are Verifiable
Credentials?
Any claim can be credentialised - IDs, degrees, marksheets, receipts

Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are tamper-proof machine readable versions of claims like IDs, certificates, and licenses. They use cryptography to prove authenticity without revealing unnecessary personal information.

Instant verification — No phone calls or manual checks needed
User-controlled — You decide what to share and with whom
Tamper-proof — Cryptographically secured against forgery
Interoperable — Works across systems, borders, and platforms

How it works

01

Issue

An issuer (university, employer, government) creates a verifiable credential signed with their cryptographic key.

02

Hold

The holder receives the credential in their wallet. They control it entirely — no copy is stored by the issuer.

03

Verify

A verifier checks the credential's cryptographic proof instantly. No need to contact the issuer.
