This has been rattling around in my head since the Global Digital Collaboration conference: We’re getting much better at explaining why wallets should exist and why credentials should be issued.

But the carrot should be something concrete. https://sphericalcowconsulting.com/2026/09/15/someone-still-has-to-accept-the-credential/
