One Credential Standard.
One Network.
One Future.
Proof Network™ is Canada's open trust infrastructure built on W3C standards — ending credential silos, busting trade barriers, and powering the future of learning, work, and innovation.
Why the Status Quo Doesn't Work
Fragmented Systems
Government, regulators, associations, credentialing organizations, industry safety organizations, unions and educators operate in isolation, hindering credential recognition.
Verification & Fraud Risks
Inefficient verification leads to wasted time and vulnerability to fake credentials.
Non-Transferable Credentials
Workers face retraining and lost time due to incompatible systems across Canada.
Economic & Talent Drain
Billions lost, critical roles unfilled, and productivity suffers due to an outdated system.
The Fragmentation Crisis in Numbers
These aren't abstract statistics — they represent real Canadians whose careers are stalled, real employers who can't fill critical roles, and real economic potential left unrealised. Every day without a unified standard is another day of lost opportunity for our nation.

The Problem Landscape
Provincial Silos
Every province, association, and safety regulator uses different credential systems that don't communicate
Training Monopolies
Gatekeepers block innovation and limit choice, creating artificial scarcity in credentialing
Verification Chaos
Employers and regulators waste resources chasing fake or unverifiable credentials
Worker Burden
Professionals lose time, money, and opportunity when credentials don't transfer between systems
National Impact
Every province, association, and safety regulator uses different credential systems that don't communicate
Built on W3C. Trusted Across Canada.
W3C Verifiable Credentials is our standard of choice — no alternatives, no compromises. This globally recognised specification ensures true interoperability across systems, provinces, and sectors.
Universal Issuance
Any vetted issuer can create credentials that work everywhere. Educational institutions, professional bodies, training providers, and government agencies all operate on the same foundation.
Seamless Verification
Any approved verifier can instantly validate credentials without proprietary systems or gatekeepers. Trust becomes automatic, not negotiated.
Zero Bias
The network works for all, not some. No single player controls the infrastructure. Innovation thrives when access is open and fair.
Proof Network™ aligns perfectly with national priorities: reducing interprovincial friction, enabling innovation ecosystems, and lifting Canada's economic potential. By choosing the W3C standard, we're not just solving today's problems — we're building tomorrow's infrastructure.
How Proof Network™ Works
The architecture is elegant in its simplicity yet powerful in its capability. Built on W3C Verifiable Credentials, Proof Network creates a trust layer that connects issuers, holders, and verifiers without centralised control or monopolistic gatekeeping.
Verification Chaos
Educational institutions, professional associations, and training providers issue W3C-compliant credentials
Digital Wallets
Workers hold their credentials securely in personal wallets, controlling who sees what and when
Instant Verification
Employers, regulators, and institutions verify credentials in seconds with cryptographic certainty
Built-In Trust Infrastructure
Proof Network includes comprehensive revocation checking, trust registry governance, and key management infrastructure — all the components needed for enterprise-grade security and reliability.
What Canada Unlocks With One Trust Standard
The potential is extraordinary. When credentials flow freely and verification becomes instant, entire sectors transform. Workers gain mobility, employers gain confidence, and Canada gains competitive advantage.
Trade & Mobility
Credentials travel across provinces seamlessly. Interprovincial barriers drop, allowing talent to flow where it's needed most. A welder certified in Nova Scotia works in Alberta tomorrow.
Innovation Explosion

Trust & Integrity
Credential fraud shrinks to near zero. Verification becomes instantaneous and cryptographically certain. Trust becomes infrastructure, not aspiration.
Productivity & Growth
Canadian companies hire smarter and faster. Workers move without friction. Economic productivity soars when talent allocation becomes efficient.
The Economic Opportunity
Billions in Productivity Gains
A common credential standard could unlock billions in productivity gains and fill thousands of critical job gaps across Canada's economy.
Economic modelling suggests that reducing interprovincial trade barriers through credential standardisation could add 0.8% to 1.2% to Canada's GDP annually. That's not marginal improvement — that's transformational growth.
Beyond raw numbers, consider the multiplier effects: faster hiring cycles, reduced training redundancy, increased worker satisfaction, and enhanced international competitiveness. When Canada's credential system works efficiently, every sector benefits.
Faster Hiring: Reduction in credential verification time
Cost Savings: Decrease in redundant training and retraining
GDP Growth: Potential annual increase from reduced barriers
Why W3C Standards Matter
The choice of W3C Verifiable Credentials isn't arbitrary — it's strategic. This global standard represents years of development by the world's leading technical minds, ensuring true interoperability, robust security, and future-proof architecture.
“Standardisation isn’t limitation — it’s liberation. When everyone speaks the same language, innovation flourishes.”
