Welcome to Empeiria

Empeiria's End-to-End Verifiable Data Infrastructure (EVDI) is a complete platform for building applications with Self-Sovereign Identity. Whether you're a developer looking to integrate verifiable credentials, a validator wanting to secure the network, or a user exploring digital identity, this documentation will guide you through our ecosystem.

What is EVDI?

EVDI provides microservices and SDKs to create, manage, and verify W3C-compliant Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identifiers — these services work off-chain, while the Cosmos-SDK EMPE blockchain is a separate component of the wider Empeiria ecosystem. Think of it as the infrastructure layer that lets you add cryptographically-verifiable data to any application without building your own identity stack or wrestling with evolving standards.

Our platform handles everything from issuing digital credentials (like certificates, licenses, or tickets) to verifying them in real-time.

Quick Navigation

For Developers

New to the platform? Start with our live demo to experience the full flow using our mobile wallet — about five minutes, no setup.
