Across today’s global job market, people are asked to show proof of their education, skills, and work history. But the systems for sharing this information are disconnected, hard to manage, and often open to fraud. Velocity Network is changing that.
At its core, Velocity Network provides two things:
(1) a trust framework that helps ensure digital career credentials can be trusted, and
(2) an open network protocol that allows different systems and platforms to exchange these credentials in a secure, reliable way.
Here’s how it works: Individuals can choose to gather their credentials—coming from different sources and technologies—into one place they control, such as a digital wallet. Because the credentials follow the shared protocol, they remain trusted and verifiable no matter where they are shared or viewed. This makes it easier for employers and others to confidently accept them and harder for bad actors to commit fraud.
For the broader system, Velocity Network solves a key problem: It removes the need for each platform to build one-to-one connections with every other system. By adopting the shared, open protocol, platforms can instantly connect to a larger ecosystem of credential issuers and verifiers.
In short: Velocity Network is laying the groundwork so that career records can move freely and securely with individuals—empowering people and employers alike.
Velocity’s protocol is free to use, fostering universal accessibility, and no single entity owns it—it is a public good, governed openly by those who choose to become Members. Already, Velocity credentials have been claimed in 185 countries, and highly regulated industries like healthcare are using the Network today to hire with trusted, verifiable credentials anchored to Velocity. It is the only global network offering the rigor required for such high-stakes hiring. We welcome more organizations to join us in transforming the data layer of the working world.
