Write a Workflow

Workflows in Paradym are not too different from typical workflows: a workflow is created to reach a goal that requires specific steps that need to be completed.

Paradym workflows are specifically suited for use cases that involve verifiable credential exchanges and interaction between or with self-sovereign identity agents. It enables your solution to verify a users identity using the latest developments in digital identity technology.

Examples of workflows could be creating and issuing a diploma, loyalty card or employee badge. Or you could create workflows to verify information like a driving license, home address or login information. Anything you need in your application in terms of user information interaction.
