Start building on Digital World - specifications, interoperability, reference implementations, and the evidence behind them.
The fastest way into the network, and where each step actually lives today:
| Step | Where |
|---|---|
| Quick start guide | See docs.digitalworld.earth |
| Run locally | See the ClearOS reference installations in the Knowledge Base §35 |
| Create an identity | See Digital Identity |
| Issue a test credential | Not yet published as a standalone developer flow |
| Present and verify | See Verification and Credentials |
| Integrate messaging | See the Messaging SDK |
| Connect a service | Not yet published as a standalone guide |
What's formally specified today, and what is still a named gap:
| Profile | Status |
|---|---|
| LIFE Protocol | Published - see Declaration of Unity and the Engineering Specification |
| Identity and credential profile | Published - see Identity Spine |
| Recovery profile | Published - see Onboarding: Words, Wallet, Go |
| Wallet profile | Not yet published as a standalone profile |
| Issuer profile | Not yet published as a standalone profile |
| Verifier profile | Not yet published as a standalone profile |
| Privacy profile | Not yet published as a standalone profile |
| Provider profile | Not yet published as a standalone profile |
| Jurisdiction profile | Partially published - see Identity in Law and the SEDI reference |
Open standards this network implements today, in testing, or not yet integrated - see Compatible Technologies and Integration Targets for the full picture. For the specific protocols named in developer requests:
| Standard | Status |
|---|---|
| W3C Verifiable Credentials (VC) | Supported today |
| OpenID4VCI / OpenID4VP | Supported today via OpenID4VC / OIDC (see Knowledge Base §34.2) |
| SD-JWT VC | In testing (selective disclosure) |
| ISO mdoc | Not yet published |
| Digital Credentials API | Not yet published |
| KERI/ACDC adapters | Not yet published |
