Frequently Asked Questions
Employers receive the credential (a signed JSON document or QR code). They call our verification API — one line of code. We check the cryptographic signature and revocation status. Verification takes milliseconds.
Yes. If an institution discovers academic fraud or rescinds a degree, they revoke the credential. All future verifications return 'revoked' status. This happens in real-time via StatusList.
We integrate with major SIS platforms. When a student graduates, the system triggers credential issuance automatically. No manual process required.
You can issue credentials for existing alumni retroactively. Many institutions run a campaign to get alumni to claim their digital credentials — high engagement rates.
Yes. We support export to Open Badges 3.0 format for interoperability with Credly, Badgr, and Canvas ecosystems. Our core is W3C VC 2.0 with SD-JWT for selective disclosure.
