Start with a working wallet flow, then add the production pieces your app needs. Most teams begin with identity verification in Next.js because it gets a user from your app to their wallet with one server route and one UI component.

​
Start building

Verify users

Ask a wallet to prove age, identity, residency, or another policy-backed claim before a user continues.

Issue credentials

Create credential definitions and send OpenID4VCI wallet offers from your backend.

Next.js App Router

Build your first verification flow in about 15 minutes: add a server route, wrap your app with AuthboundProvider, and render VerificationWall.

Use your secret key from a server route, worker, or backend service. Keep it out of browser code.
