Wallet
A digital wallet on the Hovi platform acts as a secure, cloud-based container for individuals and organizations to store, manage, and share verifiable credentials. Much like a physical wallet that holds your identification cards or licenses, a digital wallet keeps digital representations of these credentials.
Within identity ecosystems, wallets are central to the self-sovereign identity (SSI) model — empowering users to retain ownership of their data, control how it’s shared, and decide who can access specific pieces of information. This ensures privacy, interoperability, and user autonomy in every digital interaction.
