didx:me is credential infrastructure. You issue digital credentials, holders hold them in wallets, and verifiers check what holders choose to share. Every credential is cryptographically signed and portable across the ecosystem.

What that looks like in practice

Thandi has a wallet on her phone. Her university, her bank, and her city have each issued credentials into it: a student card, a proof-of-account, a digital driver’s licence. A property platform she is registering with asks her to prove she is over 18 and has a verified bank account. Thandi opens her wallet, sees what is being asked, approves the parts she is willing to share. The platform receives cryptographic proofs it can verify in milliseconds, without storing her date of birth or her bank statements. Three issuers, one wallet, one verifier, one transaction. Each issuer signed once. Thandi decided what to share, this time. The verifier confirmed the proofs cryptographically, with no callback to any issuer.

The three roles

Issuer

Sign and offer credentials. Universities, employers, government departments, banks. Most issuer integrations live in the me-creds API.

Holder

Hold credentials and decide what to share. Most holders use the DIDx wallet app — try it. The me-wallet API serves holder-side integration if you are building a wallet of your own.

Verifier

Request credentials and validate them. Banks, employers, marketplaces, platforms. Most verifier integrations live in the me-creds API.
A single organisation often plays more than one role. A university issues student cards, then verifies a returning student’s previous credentials at re-enrolment. A bank issues a proof-of-account, then verifies a customer’s driver’s licence when they apply for a vehicle loan.
