Introduction

Verana is an open initiative creating a decentralized trust layer for the Internet. It is built on verifiable credentials, DIDs, and public permissionless trust registries.

Verana enables transparent, verifiable interactions across digital services and ecosystems.

It empowers users with self-sovereign identity and user-centric privacy.

Ecosystems use the Verana Verifiable Trust Network to create trust registries and govern who can issue, verify, and hold credentials. Network supports privacy-preserving monetization where all ecosystem participants are rewarded.

Verifiable Services, Verifiable AI Agents and Verifiable User Agents prove their identity and governance.

Don't trust. Verify

Verana is defined by the Verifiable Trust and Verifiable Public Registry specs.

It fosters a re-decentralized Internet, moving from implicit trust to verifiable trust.
