Quick Start

If you would like to jump right into writing code, follow our quick start guide. You should still read through the foundations of ID DWN to learn more about the overall architecture and how verifiable credentials can be applied in the real-world, but it's understandable to get excited and want to dive head-first into code.

This quick start is representative of the end-to-end flow of a person (subject) requesting a credential, an issuer issuing that credential, and a verifier verifying that credential. It is all encapsulated in a single function for readability and for quickly testing the referenced functions from the ID DWN library.

However, it's important to understand that each step in the process will happen on different computers and in different environments.
