+# Lab Name
+verii
+
+# Short Description
+Verii is an enterprise-grade software stack for creating a "pay-to-verify" Verifiable Credentials ecosystem. 
+ 
+ When issued, credentials are anchored to 
+ - a distributed ledger utilized for decentralized encrypted verification key distribution and revocation registry
+ - a trust registry which runs governance rules of the ecosystem and is compatible with global consumer data protection regulations.
+
+An individual has full control over how data is shared with Verifiers
+
+When credentials are shared, the verifier
+- can be required to show a proof of payment to retrieve the verification keys from the distributed ledger
+- can receive proof that the credential received came from a trusted issuer following ecosystem rules of governance
+- can verify the credential is shared by the intended recipient
+- can check a revocation (or suspension) status
+
+# Scope of Lab
+Verii was developed by the Velocity Network Foundation, a non-profit foundation established in 2019 with the mission of transforming the way career and education data is exchanged. 
+
+ Verii provides to ecosystems a decentralized software stack usable by their issuers, verfiers and individuals. Individuals have verifiable tamper-proof digital
+ credentials that are trusted universally by Verifiers within the ecossystem. Verii is built from the seminal specifications of W3C Decentalized Identifers v1.0 and
+ W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model v1.1. 
+ 
+ The stack plugs into a separate and optional incentivization and pay-to-verify model.
+
+ ## Trust Registry API & Portal
+ A NodeJS Fastify API with a ReactJS Portal, the Trust Registry serves as the backbone of the ecosystem maintaining a
+ verified directory of organizations, services & credential types in the ecosystem. It
+ provides the APIs to create trust framework underpinned by ecosystem administration processes for participants to confidently
+ interact and exchange credentials.
+
+ ### Blockchain Contracts
+
+ Solidity smart contracts for:
+
+ -   Secure storage and distributition of encrypted keys and credential metadata
+     issued within the network
+ -   Pay-to-verify support using a NFT-like mechanism
+ -   Access control
+
+ ### Credential Agent
+
+ A NodeJS Fastify API used by Issuers and Relying Parties to securely issue, revoke, replace & verify credentials on the network. Additional capabilities include:
+
+ -   Multi-tenant
+ -   Enterprise-grade APIs & Data Feeds
+ -   Flexible authentication mechanisms
+ -   Pay-to-Verify support
+ -   Integrated credential verification flows
+
+ ### Wallet SDKs
+
+ The Wallet SDKs exist for NodeJS, native iOS, native Android, and ReactNative. Targeted at end-user devices, they implement the VelocityCore exchange protocols for network interoperability and integrate into the trust registry for data interoperability, counterparty trust, and data trust.
