Summary
Source

Veramo is a modular JavaScript framework designed to help developers implement Self-Sovereign Identity and verifiable data capabilities in their applications. Launched in 2020 as an evolution of the uPort project, it provides a flexible architecture for working with W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and W3C Verifiable Credentials. The framework's core features include:

  • Plugin-based architecture supporting:
    • Multiple DID methods including did:ethr, did:web, and did:key
    • Key management and cryptographic operations
    • Data storage and querying capabilities
    • Message handling for DIDComm and other protocols
    • Selective disclosure requests for privacy-preserving credential sharing

The framework emphasizes interoperability and works closely with standards bodies like the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF). Notable implementations include work with Brazil's Ministry of Planning and Microsoft on a document verification pilot. Veramo runs on Node.js, browsers, and React Native environments, making it versatile for different deployment scenarios. The project maintains a strong focus on developer experience through comprehensive documentation, CLI tools, and TypeScript support.
