# trinsic * [Build an SSI proof of concept in <30 minutes](https://iiw.idcommons.net/21G/_Build_an_SSI_proof_of_concept_in_30_minutes) by Riley Hughes The session began with a short introduction to SSI, an introduction to Trinsic, and an overview of how to get started. Then, everybody present starting building an SSI proof of concept, creating issuers, verifiers, and schemas to learn first-hand how it all works. A step-by-step guide on how to replicate this session can be found at the following link: * [https://www.notion.so/trinsic/Build-an-SSI-Proof-of-Concept-dae9d6e565eb4770be41b61d55e090cb](https://www.notion.so/trinsic/Build-an-SSI-Proof-of-Concept-dae9d6e565eb4770be41b61d55e090cb) * [New Tools to Support Production Deployments](https://trinsic.id/new-tools-to-support-production-deployments/) * [Introduction to Trinsic’s APIs](https://trinsic.id/an-introduction-to-trinsics-apis/) * [Provider](https://docs.trinsic.id/reference#assets) • [Credentials](https://docs.trinsic.id/reference#connections) • [Wallet](https://docs.trinsic.id/reference#connection) * [Status.trinsic.id](http://status.trinsic.id/) > View historical uptime: Using the status page, you can see the last 90 days of uptime of all our externally-facing services.

This work was sponsored by the [European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework Lab](https://essif-lab.eu/), which is an EU consortium that provides funding for projects that build SSI open source tools. Any ecosystem provider can use the trust registry implementation to enable governance in their verifiable data ecosystem. * [Introducing Trinsic Ecosystems](https://trinsic.id/introducing-trinsic-ecosystems/) > Once an ecosystem is configured, providers need to onboard participants like issuers and verifiers. Trinsic Ecosystems comes with an API that’s extremely easy for any issuer or verifier to integrate and can be white-labeled with the name of the provider. In addition to the API, ecosystem participants can use the Trinsic Studio, a white-labeled web dashboard. * [Trinsic Year in Review 2020](https://trinsic.id/trinsic-in-2020-a-year-in-review/) Lots of good things happened! - Helped start the [COVID-19 Credentials Initiative](https://www.covidcreds.com/) and has since worked with dozens of developers and organizations COVID-19 related SSI solutions: - [MedCreds: Reducing the Risk of Returning to Work](https://trinsic.id/medcreds/) - [Decreased Unemployment Among African Youth Using Verifiable Credentials](https://trinsic.id/decreasing-unemployment-verifiable-credentials/) - [Verifiable Credentials and Smart Contracts for COVID-19 Data Management](https://trinsic.id/verifiable-credentials-and-smart-contracts-for-covid19-data-management/) - [Raised pre-seed funding](https://trinsic.id/streetcred-id-rebrands-to-trinsic-raises-pre-seed-funding/) and [rebranded](https://trinsic.id/introducing-trinsic/) from Streetcred ID to Trinsic, becoming the first investment of [Kickstart Seed Fund $110 million fund](https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/04/29/2024148/0/en/Kickstart-Seed-Fund-Announces-the-Close-of-110-Million-Fund-V.html). - [Partnered with Zapier to Bring SSI to 2000+ Applications](https://trinsic.id/trinsic-and-zapier-partner/) - [Joined Trust over IP Foundation as Founding Member](https://trinsic.id/streetcred-id-joins-trust-over-ip-foundation-as-founding-member/) * [Announcing Trinsic’s Largest Platform Update Ever](https://trinsic.id/announcing-trinsics-largest-platform-update-ever/) Trinsic > The next version of the Trinsic platform is 10x as accessible, 100x more performant, and 1,000x more scalable.

Throughout the steps below, we will be referring to a fictitious person, Alice Smith, who is a recent graduate of Faber College and is applying for a job. Alice has already received her digital diploma in the form of a verifiable credential and is wanting to apply to work for a company called ACME Corp. In order to start the online job application, Alice must first make a connection with ACME Corp. * [Trinsic partners with Zapier to bring SSI to 2000+ applications](https://trinsic.id/trinsic-and-zapier-partner/). Including MedCreds which is part of the Covid Credentials Initiative. Trinsic has released some [tools to issue verifiable credentials](https://trinsic.id/how-to-issue-credentials-in-trinsic-studio/). > All verifiable credentials come from credential templates. These templates specify what information should be included in a credential. Faber College would most likely want the credential template of its digital diplomas to include a graduate’s first and last name, what they got their degree in, what year they graduated, and thier GPA.
