CHAPI Playground's Latest Update - Verification Workflows

Announcement to the Community -- We're excited to announce the latest
update to the CHAPI Playground, which includes a new feature - Verification
Workflows You can now verify credentials presented from CHAPI-enabled
wallets.

https://playground.chapi.io/verifier

This feature is designed to help you test a complete lifecycle of a
Verifiable Credential.

This is one of many updates that we're rolling out for the community in the
next few months. We will be adding support to the CHAPI Playground to make
it easy for others to add their verifier implementations – just like the
playground supports various issuer implementations today. We will continue
to add new Verifiable Credentials and make it easy for anyone to contribute
their own VC examples to be displayed on the site. Shortly, we are planning
to experiment with multiple types of protocols over CHAPI. Stay tuned.

If you have feature requests, please feel free to discuss them on this
mailing

list or add them to:

https://github.com/credential-handler/chapi.io/issues

The team that put the CHAPI playground together is on the CCG and VC EDU

mailing lists and are happy to answer any questions about current or future

functionality planned for the CHAPI Playground.
