Operating a verifier

There are different ways to become a verifier using nChain identity Verifier’s API that allows one to request the verification of credentials and establish connections with holders and verifiers. The API supports the verification of the following:

• Issuer's DID status.

• Subject DID status.

• Verifiable Credential status.

• JSON schema format.

• Claim information

While operating a verifier, whether to trust a specific issuer depends on the client's context and constitutes a business decision. The code itself cannot independently verify the legitimacy of an issuer for the client's specific use case. This distinction is crucial for users to understand that while the API provides technical support and detailed information for verification, the decision-making process regarding trust is ultimately within the realm of business considerations.
