You can now issue credentials through Wauld with alignment to the 1EdTech Open Badges 3.0 specification, giving your credentials a stronger standards-based foundation for verification, portability, and trust. Instead of being just a visual badge, each credential now carries structured achievement data in a format designed for broader compatibility across platforms and ecosystems.

With Open Badges 3.0 support, all credentials include structured metadata for the issuer, recipient, achievement, criteria, skills, evidence, and related context. That metadata is represented in JSON-LD format.

This gives issuers a more future-ready way to issue digital credentials and helps ensure achievements are represented in a format that is easier to validate and interpret across different platforms.

For recipients, this means the credentials they earn carry richer and more trustworthy information about what they achieved, who issued it, and what it represents. That makes credentials more meaningful when shared with employers, institutions, digital wallets, or other platforms, while also making it easier for others to understand and trust the achievement behind them.
