Credentials Overview

What are AIR Credentials?

AIR Credential is a universal, decentralized verifiable credential system designed for seamless use across digital applications and networks. Built on Moca Chain’s identity-focused infrastructure, it leverages zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology to enable users to prove claims (such as age, qualifications, or affiliations) without exposing their underlying private data. Each issued credential is securely encrypted, controlled by the user, allowing true self-sovereign identity and cross-ecosystem interoperability.

Who’s Who: Issuer, Holder, Verifier

	Issuer	Holder	Verifier
Role	The entity that creates and vouches for the verifiable credential.	The individual or entity that receives and stores the credential in a digital wallet or account.	The party that requests and checks for proof of specific claims or attributes.
Key Actions	Issues and signs credentials	Stores and presents credentials	Requests and verifies proofs
Details	The issuer structures the data, digitally signs it, and sends the credential to the holder.	The holder controls how their credentials are shared, enabling privacy-first, self-sovereign identity management.	Instead of accessing the full credential, the verifier receives cryptographically-secure proof from the holder—often using zero-knowledge proofs for maximal privacy.
Examples	Universities, governments, protocols, DAOs, gaming platforms, community managers	Students, citizens, gamers, employees, community members	Employers, service providers, event organizers, online platforms, access-controlled communities
