Decentralized identity (DID) allows professional bodies to issue verifiable credentials (VCs) for certifications, licenses, or continuing education. These VCs are stored on blockchain, enabling instant verification by employers or regulators without contacting issuers. Professionals control credential sharing, enhancing privacy. Smart contracts can automate license renewals or track compliance with industry standards. This reduces administrative overhead, combats credential fraud, and supports lifelong learning across borders.
