Centre Consortium - GitHub

Founded by Coinbase and Circle in 2018, the mission is to provide the governance and standards for the future digital financial ecosystem.

We began by launching US Dollar Coin (USDC), a fiat-backed stablecoin and now the second largest stablecoin on the market. The standards we laid out for USDC provide a layer of trust and transparency so that users can operate with security and confidence as we enter a new world of digital payments.

Verification Patterns, Part 1 Verite

Since verification is off-chain (and generally fast/inexpensive, depending on the provider), and since this avoids on-chain storage of potentially correlatable data, this is often the preferred solution.

But as the world shifts to an increasingly digital native format, and as people take more ownership over their identity, how can the issuance of, presentation of, and verification of credentials be managed?

Verite: A Technical Deep Dive with Kim Hamilton, Director of Identity & Standards Centre

Verite is a decentralized identity framework demonstrating end-to-end, ecosystem-scale crypto and DeFi prototypes. With Verite, our focus is iteratively building open protocols rather than a product or a platform
Introducing Verite Justin Hunter of Pinata

Currently available in TypeScript and published through NPM, the Verite library seeks to make it easier to implement VCs in a variety of forms. The library is early and an additional goal of the library is to collect community feedback.

Centre’s Response to Australian Treasury Centre

In this letter, we focus on a couple of issues that would be beneficial in expanding the Australian regulatory frameworks to include crypto assets. Furthermore, our comments pertain specifically to fiat-backed stablecoins, which are backed on a 1:1 basis by reserve assets, such as bank deposits and short-term government bonds.

How To Create a Verifiable Credentials Registry Smart Contract in Solidity Centre

When using the smart contract pattern for verifications, you can use any blockchain you would like. For the sake of this guide, we will focus on Solidity, which is the programming language for the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
How To Use Verifiable Credentials And Verite To Build An Off-Chain NFT Allowlist Justin Hunter, Pinata, Centre

if the signature is verified, we allow the minting to happen. When that's complete, we update the PREVIOUS_SIGNATURE variable. This is, as with many things in this demo, a simplified replay attack prevention model. This can and probably should be extended to support your own use cases.
