Overview
A verifiable proof is a cryptographic proof that a claim is true, verifiable without a central authority. It is the basis of verifiable credentials. Proofs enable trustless attestation.
How It Works
An issuer signs a claim, and a holder presents a proof derived from it. A verifier checks the proof's validity without contacting the issuer. Zero-knowledge proofs can hide details.
Why It Matters
Verifiable proofs enable portable, private verification for identity, credentials, and access. They reduce data silos. They are central to decentralized trust.
