CREDENTIAL · 001 · MUSEUM EDITION
A vault of verifiable credentials rendered with the gravitas they deserve. Every badge is a sealed object — cryptographically signed, holographically marked, and curated for display.
II · THE VAULT
Each credential class lives in its own frosted enclosure. Hover any badge to bring it forward in the depth field.
Sovereign Identity
The flagship issuance. Cryptographic root for delegated badges, signed by the registry's master key.
Professional Guild
Trade and craft credentials, issued by accredited guilds. Stackable seals attest to ongoing practice.
Academic Lineage
Degrees, fellowships, and named honors. Each carries the issuing institution's holographic seal.
Civic Witness
Civic and notarial attestations: residence, proxy, signatory authority. Bound to a single revocable holder.
Patronage
Reserved for early supporters and benefactors. Carries lifetime registry standing and ceremonial precedence.
Composite
A meta-credential composed of underlying badges. Refracts every facet of an identity into a single artifact.
III · ISSUING REGISTRIES
Credentials are minted by accredited issuers. Each maintains its own holographic signature.
IV · PROTOCOL
Each badge is a verifiable credential carrying the issuer's signature, the holder's binding key, and a holographic provenance trail. Presentations are zero-knowledge by default.
An accredited issuer signs the credential against a published schema and registers the seal.
The holder accepts custody. The badge is now bound to a single key — revocable, transferable only by ceremony.
A verifier checks the seal against the registry without ever learning more than the holder discloses.
