Industry problem

## A learner's record depends on whether a registrar answers the phone.

Transcripts arrive by fax. Micro-credentials scatter across platforms. Employers wait days and receive PDFs they cannot trust. When an institution closes, records are stranded.

* Employer transcript verification averages 5–7 business days.
* Diploma fraud is a documented multi-billion-dollar market.
* Micro-credential platforms lack a shared verification standard.

iDen2 solution

## One learner wallet. Every credential, signed and portable.

Institutions issue as W3C verifiable credentials. Learners collect them for life. Any employer or regulator verifies signature and issuer authority in one call.

* Open Badges 3.0 and W3C VC 2.0 compliant.
* Selective disclosure of transcripts by course, grade, or period.
* Institution-independent verification survives closures and mergers.
* Employer verifier accepts credentials from any qualified issuer.
