Introduction - Verifiable Credentials in the DOME Ecosystem

Verifiable Credentials are used in the DOME ecosystem as a trusted mechanism for identity, authentication, and authorization.
They ensure that both individuals and services can interact securely across the different DOME components — such as the Issuer, the Marketplace, and external integrations — while maintaining verifiable trust and data integrity.

Credential Issuance and Management

Credentials are issued through the Issuer application and retrieved and stored in the Wallet application.

When a new company joins the DOME ecosystem, it must complete the onboarding process, which concludes with the issuance of a LEAR Credential Employee for the company’s Legal Representative (LEAR). This credential acts as the company’s primary identity within DOME and grants the holder the authority to create and manage additional credentials for employees or services using the Issuer.

If you are a non-LEAR employee, the LEAR of your organization can issue a Verifiable Credential on your behalf.
Once your credential has been issued, you can retrieve it by following these steps.
