Credential Issuance

Credential Issuance is the process by which an authority or a protocol creates and signs a digital credential for a user. This credential serves as a claim about the user's status, such as being a verified trader or an accredited investor.

The issuance process must be secure to prevent the creation of fraudulent credentials that could be used to bypass protocol restrictions. Once issued, the credential is stored by the user and can be presented whenever needed.

This mechanism is essential for building trust-based systems within a decentralized environment. It allows for the seamless flow of verified information between different parts of the financial ecosystem.
