What is a Stamp vs Credential?

Stamp: When we refer to a Stamp, we are referring to one of our ~20 partners who are providing verifiable credentials via the Passport app.

Credential: Each Stamp can contain one or multiple credentials that represent a specific activity that a user can verify.

Example:

Civic provides one of Passport's higher scoring Stamps.

Within the Civic Stamp, there are three (3) different credentials, each of which carry with them their own score weights:

1. Holds a Civic CAPTCHA Pass — 1 point

2. Holds a Civic Uniqueness Pass — 6 points

3. Holds a Civic Liveness Pass — 3 points
