Blockchain-based platforms often prioritize interoperability, meaning that credentials stored on one platform can be easily accessed and verified by other platforms. This is a significant advantage over DigiLocker, which might face challenges when interacting with systems outside the Indian government’s ecosystem. The ability to seamlessly share credentials across borders and institutions adds to the appeal of blockchain platforms.

Blockchain platforms offer a fertile ground for innovation. They can integrate smart contracts, which are self-executing contracts with predefined rules. For instance, a credential could be programmed to be shared only for a specific period, ensuring that employers or institutions receive the most up-to-date information. Such capabilities open doors to creative solutions that traditional document systems like DigiLocker might struggle to match.
