Verify supported delegation chains

Integration

Put verifiable authority behind the experiences you already use.

Depending on the workflow, credential functionality can sit inside an existing mobile app, cloud-based experience or AI-agent environment.

Truvera can sit behind those experiences through:

APIfor creating verifiable credentials and verifying digital proofs from existing applications and back-end systems
MCPfor supported AI-agent workflows
SDKfor embedding wallet functionality into an existing application or web-based experience.
