Empe Issuer Demo offers a range of Verifiable Credentials (VCs) types, reflecting real-world scenarios and showcasing the practical benefits of our Verifiable Data infrastructure in everyday life. Let’s try them all out.
Proof of Attendance Anonymous (POAP)
What is it for?
POAP guarantees privacy and authenticity for event attendance, whether it’s conferences, webinars, or others, while ensuring personal data remains secure and anonymous. In real-world scenarios, the QR code for the POAP VC can be displayed physically at the event venue or shared during a web event, ensuring that only attendees can scan it. This feature significantly limits the opportunity for unauthorized access, reinforcing the integrity of the attendance verification process.

In real-world scenarios, a Proof of Purchase will typically be issued at the end of the purchasing process, such as after a payment is completed. It can also be linked to an official receipt, allowing it to include specific details about the transaction. This enhances its value, providing users with a secure and verifiable record of their purchases.

A real-world use case scenario might involve a government agency providing various credentials like a driver’s license, passport, or national ID. The user can select the appropriate credential using the wallet.
This flow follows the OpenID4VC standard, which facilitates issuers in presenting specific or generic credential lists in a standardized, automated manner, ensuring interoperability across different systems. This simplifies credential issuance, enhances scalability, and delivers a secure, unified process for both users and issuers, particularly in environments with various credential types.
