Getting Started

A step-by-step guide to setting up your organization and issuing your first verifiable credential.

Step 1: Create an Organization

Before you can issue any credentials, you need an organization profile. This profile represents the issuing authority and will be displayed on all verified certificates.

Navigate to the Settings tab in your Dashboard.
Upload a high-quality logo (PNG or SVG recommended).
Fill in your organization's formal name and contact details.

Step 2: Add Earners

Earners are the recipients of your credentials. You can add them one by one or import them in bulk using a CSV file.

// CSV Format Example
firstName,lastName,email,department
John,Doe,john@example.com,Engineering
Jane,Smith,jane@example.com,Design

Step 3: Design a Badge Template

A Badge Template defines the visual appearance and metadata (like skills and earning criteria) of a credential.

Go to Templates > Create New.
Upload a badge image (or let our system generate a dynamic premium layout).
Add specific Skills (e.g., "React", "Project Management"). These are crucial for employers searching for talent.

Step 4: Issue the Credential

Once you have an Earner and a Template, you can issue the credential. Upon issuance, the system generates a unique, immutable Verification Hash and anchors it securely. The earner will instantly receive an email notification with a link to claim and share their badge.
