Deploying the Issuer

What We Are Doing:

• Using the One-Click Deployment portal to create an Issuer service.

• The Issuer will be able to issue Verifiable Credentials once we provide a schema.

Why: The Issuer is a trusted authority that creates credentials. By deploying it through the portal, we avoid manual setup and get a ready-to-use endpoint.

Steps:

1. Log into the One-Click Deployment platform.

2. Create a new Issuer (see Create Issuer).

3. Once active, note down:

   • ISSUER_URL (e.g., https://your-issuer.evdi.app)

   • ISSUER_SECRET

4. Store these in your .env:

   ISSUER_URL=https://your-issuer.evdi.app
   ISSUER_SECRET=your-issuer-secret

Next, we`ll upload a credential schema to let the Issuer know what kind of credentials we want to issue.
