Credential Schemas

Credential Schemas define the structure and validation rules for your verifiable credentials.

A schema specifies:

  • The credential type (e.g., “EmployeeBadgeCredential”)
  • The claims/fields the credential contains (name, title, department, etc.)
  • Validation rules for each field (required, format, allowed values)
  • Supported credential formats (JWT-VC, SD-JWT-VC, mdoc)

Workflow: Create a schema first, then use it when issuing credentials or setting up automations.
New schemas start in “draft” status and must be activated before use.
