Sphereon Wallet
Demo Instructions

The Sphereon Wallet enables you to store your own private data and gives you full and sole control over whom you want to share your information with!

The Sphereon Wallet represents a new class of cutting-edge, open, and privacy-centric applications, ensuring that you maintain exclusive control over your personal information.

Your data is stored nowhere else but on your phone. It enables you to manage your own data. Nobody else will have access to your information, unless you decide you want to share your information with someone else. And what to share.

It enables you to request and receive so-called Verifiable Credentials from official sources, institutions, enterprises, or other organizations. Verifiable credentials are digital records that act as proof of a person’s identity, qualifications, roles, achievements, or other attributes.
