Attestations

An attestation is evidence or proof of something, issued by a given authority.

Some common examples of attestations are:

  • Passport: Proof of citizenship, and ability to travel internationally
  • University degree: Proof of education
  • Driver's license: Proof of being able and legally approved to drive a car

In the world of web3, attestations can prove digital identity, ownership of digital assets, and more.
