What if there was a way to just receive official documents (like diplomas or work confirmations) in a format that’s verifiable forever not because someone signed a PDF, but because the issuing organization itself registered it in a tamper-proof system?
Something closer to a credentialing layer for the internet. You don’t need to “sign” anything, the document proves itself. And the user stays in control and decides who gets to see what.
It got us wondering:
Where do you personally encounter the most friction when proving credentials or background?
Would you feel more or less comfortable using something like this, where the source institution backs the authenticity directly?
What would be your biggest concern with something like this becoming common?
We’re trying to understand what a world with issuer-verified documents might look like and whether people actually want that. Curious to hear what others think.
