Credential

Credentials are related to Agents, connects to the Role system, Reputation system and to history of contributions to provide access to Processes, according to the Process type.

Since the OVN model is decentralized, access to Processes must be permissionless and mediated by a Credential system. Credentials are distributed to Agents based on Benefit Redistribution Algorithms, as a form of benefit. Credentials are distributed based on past contributions in given Roles, based on Reputation scores, automatically.

The NDO implements Private participation receipt (PPR), which are stored in private chains and constitute the history of interactions of an agent with resources and other agents. Credentials and reputation can be distilled from PPR.
