It’s like a Receipt: AsserGons “Assertion” Verifies Badge’s Validity
The earner’s badge is “baked” with the data about your achievement, including a link back to a “receipt” or “assertion” from the issuer or a trusted party.
The badge issuer or a trusted party maintains the “assertion” in perpetuity, acting as proof that the data in the badge matches the issuer’s original data.
