Participants

A Participant is an on-chain entry in the Participant (pp) module that authorizes a Verifiable Service to act under a Credential Schema — as an Issuer, Verifier, Issuer-Grantor, Verifier-Grantor, Ecosystem (root), or Holder. The pp module is the v4 replacement for the retired Permission (perm) module: every "permission" is now a "participant", and the old Validation Process (VP) is now the onboarding process (OP).

Participants are owned and controlled by a Corporation. All pp transactions are delegable: they are signed by an authorized operator (--from) and executed on behalf of a Corporation whose policy_address is passed with the --corporation flag.

Before you start

• Read the learn section for background on onboarding participants.
• Create and register a Corporation.
• Grant your operator authorization for the relevant pp message type-URLs — see Grant Operator Authorization.
