Understand Verana
Verana is open, public trust infrastructure. Ecosystems publish who may issue and verify which credentials, services and AI agents prove who they are before the first message, and everything published becomes searchable. This section explains the model, without commands or API paths. When you are ready to do something, go to Build.
