India’s DigiLocker was a bold step toward digital identity and document storage—but it’s still tied to centralized control, lacks revocation, and doesn’t offer fine-grained trust.

This blog explains how verifiable credentials go a step further:

Trust can be verified instantly, without calling the issuer

Credentials are portable, revocable, and privacy-preserving

Built on open standards (W3C), not locked into one government platform

We compare DigiLocker to W3C-compliant verifiable credentials in a practical, plain-English way—for developers, public sector innovators, and compliance teams in India.

Would love your feedback.
