Issuance
Programmatic credential creation in <50ms. Schema-validated, cryptographically signed by the issuing organisation, and committed to the registry. Supports W3C Verifiable Credentials, OpenBadges 3.0, and custom schemas.
▸ 01 / Platform · The credential infrastructure
A protocol for verifiable wrk, end to end.
wrk.id provides four cooperating primitives — issuance, verification, portability, and revocation — composed over an open, append-only registry. No platform lock-in. No silos. The holder is the source of truth.

▸ VFY · 02
Verification
Anyone, anywhere, can verify a wrk.id without contacting the issuer. Resolution is offline-first via DID; revocation is checked against the public status registry. Selective disclosure and ZK proofs supported natively.
▸ PRT · 03
Portability
Credentials live with the holder, in their wallet of choice. Export to JSON-LD, JWT, CBOR. Present once, anywhere. The holder controls disclosure; the issuer controls validity.
▸ RVK · 04
Revocation
Immediate, granular revocation via status list 2021. No global blocklists. No collateral damage. Re-issue with one API call when conditions change.
