Configure an IP domain with any information that you would like to be cryptographically verified and linked to your registered domains.
Verified Credentials can range anywhere from official social media accounts, access control keys, cards, fobs, badges and even fully customizable and scalable tracked achievements for specific tasks and communities.
Scalable + Composable + Secure blockchain infrastructure that can now be utilized in the most practical and accessible user context.
EBPTO developed the VC.iD to configure domain specific verifiable credentials. VC.iD uses a hybrid architecture with both on-chain and off-chain components. Each domain is issued a VC.iD scope containing a cryptographically signed message. These signed messages are tamper-proof and self-authenticating. This concept is similar to a passport—additional credentials are saved in these passports like stamps.
The VC.iD scope is saved on Ethereum through the EBPTO domain registry. Additional signature data is replicated on Gnosis Chain (xDAI) and IPFS for cost optimization.
The credentials can remain pseudonymous. Individual users can operate multiple domains simultaneously. For example: a real-name domain and a company domain.
Why Verifiable Credentials?
Today, most domain products solely focus on resolving complex addresses to readable names using a DNS like interface allowing people to enter anything they like into plain text input fields.
While this free field method is flexible, it does not prevent misinformation (e.g. One could type ElonMusk into a twitter record or Vitalik in the mastodon record).
Verifiable credentials require a signed proof containing information from a valid authenticated session from the issuer (twitter, google, etc).
