Paradym

Issue and verify digital credentials

Visit Paradym

Paradym is a platform for issuing and verifying digital credentials using open identity standards. It supports OpenID4VC, SD-JWT VC, mdoc (ISO 18013-5 mDoc/mDL), AnonCreds and DIDComm, and is designed to align with eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI wallet requirements. Teams can use the API, dashboard and wallet components together or integrate Paradym into an existing stack, with hosted or on-premise deployment.

The platform includes Paradym Issuer and Verifier products, with reusable credential and presentation templates, trust management through trusted entities, DIDs, X.509 certificates and EUDI Lists of Trusted Entities, and certificate and key management covering CSRs, rotation and revocation. It connects to OAuth2 authorization servers and external attribute providers so credentials can be issued from live data in existing systems. Developer tooling includes an API, TypeScript SDK, SD-JWT VC Debugger and mDoc Debugger, alongside a free and open-source mobile wallet and an EUDI prototype wallet. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and aligned with ETSI standards.

Paradym is intended for teams building credential issuance and verification flows, including issuers and relying parties preparing for EUDI wallet interoperability. It is packaged as a free plan with core functionality and community support, paid tiers with increasing transaction allowances, multi-project support, technical support and integrations such as external authorization servers and attribute providers, plus an on-premise option with unlimited transactions and dedicated support.
