Automatically Issue Verifiable Credentials
We heard your feedback and are excited to share that we have officially shipped DID:Web alongside improved documentation. This allows builders and orgs to automate the process of issuing credentials based on their own logic.
Some exciting use cases partners are currently exploring with this new capability:
Incentivize user behaviors in digital and physical spaces
Learn more about how/where users are engaging in-app
Cross-organizational collaboration
Automatic issuance ensures accuracy and consistency in every credential you send to your users.

Sneak Preview: Issuer Dashboard
We are already applying feedback from issuers on their observability and analytics in an Issuer Dashboard.
With the Issuer Dashboard you'll gain real-time insights into your organization's issued credentials. Combined with the ability to automatically issue credentials to users, this dashboard will make it easier to track key metrics and KPIs, helping you identify growth opportunities with unmatched clarity.
Our user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate, understand valuable insights and engage your community beyond the chain.
Key Issuer Dashboard Features
Easily search and filter insights-Comprehensive overview of all VCs including their type, holder, and status. You can also filter credentials by specific criteria to find the information that you need
Seamlessly issue credentials- Issue any credential to a few or thousands of users both manually and automatically.
Set-up and manage Drops- an experience where credentials that can be claimed by anyone or gated by an ETH address.
Create and manage your issuer account - Add & remove members of your org to the dashboard

Early Alpha: Selective Disclosure
Selective Disclosure offers users the power to decide which data they share with apps, from multiple sources.
In this exchange, organizations put users in the driver’s seat of their own data, while still enabling personalization and control.
Build more robust relationships with your users by recognizing their data from multiple applications and ecosystems.
This demo shows a user sharing private credentials without having to manually change the status of their credentials and enables builders to call credentials into apps and experiences without disrupting their user flow.
