<h2 class="heading-deco terciary">Verifiable Credentials Explained</h2>
<p>In this third age of the internet, Web3, we need a new paradigm for exchanging and verifying information. We need to put users back in control of their data, while creating a framework for trust that doesn't rely on big platforms or strong central government. EBSI's Verifiable Credentials Framework is a full framework for expressing, exchanging, and verifying information, using a new information format (W3C Verifiable Credentials), digital wallets, and the blockchain to establish trust. Discover how they work together thanks to our series below.</p>
