🚀 v0.2.0-beta.1

After years following the passwordless movement—it’s meaningful to finally say:

@WebBadge now supports passkeys 🙌

Grateful how @FIDOAlliance, WebAuthn (W3C), and passkey standards have matured—making it possible to build this without compromising usability 👏

Last May, after 9 years of data authenticity work, I shared the #WebFlywheel⚙️ — a framework for how trust, data authenticity, and value reinforce each other across the web.

A decade of the @WebBadge mission, the idea still holds:

“trust creates value, and value creates trust.”

[Mitchell Nguyen 💪🕸🤟 @NguyenMitchell]

For yesterday’s anniversary of the Web, I’m sharing a high-level #WebFlywheel⚙️ that illustrates how we think, partner, and innovate—helping to grow the Web’s value and drive its evolution to serve users and businesses with more secure and trustworthy products, services and data.

Accessibility is foundational to trust on the web.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) ♿, and I took a small step: publishing an accessibility statement and adding an accessibility badge to the @WebBadge site.

Authenticity, resolved. ✅

Authenticity grows when independent signals — including AI — align.

That’s Collective Authenticity: many contributors, one clearer picture

@WebBadge, trust is built from a collection of badges — not a single one — and you choose who can verify them.

[Mitchell Nguyen 💪🕸🤟 @NguyenMitchell]

Privacy, resolved. 🔐

Privacy starts with control.

In digital systems, obscurity isn’t enough — it’s fragile and easy to break.

@WebBadge, you choose:
✅ what’s valid
✅ what resolves
✅ what becomes verifiable

How are you thinking about privacy as AI plays a bigger role?

[Mitchell Nguyen 💪🕸🤟 @NguyenMitchell]

Introducing a new layer of the web:
#ResolutionLayer

Surface‑agnostic triggers (QR/NFC/BLE/RFID/links/agents)

→ deterministic meaning
→ lifecycle‑governed trust
→ verified by durable digital badges

Resolution + Verification = #TrustResolutionLayer (TRL)

Trust, resolved.

[Mitchell Nguyen 💪🕸🤟 @NguyenMitchell]

A 🖼️ is worth a thousand words—this one resolves 25,000.

#QR256 (Beta) is live: https://t.co/0J6t8QfWjM

#QRCodes as pointers into the #ResolutionLayer, where meaning resolves deterministically with lifecycle rules.

🔐 AES‑256 at rest
✅ HMAC #IntegrityReceipts for verification

Proud to be part of this. As a long‑time fan of @codeorg, I’m honored that @WebBadge is now an official #HourOfAI partner. AI education should empower students not just to use AI, but to help shape it responsibly. #AIEducation #TeachAI #DigitalLiteracy #FutureOfLearning @CSforALL

[CSforALL @CSforALL]

We asked, 'What if every student had the chance to shape AI — not just use it?' And you showed up. From classrooms in Kansas to Kosovo, the Hour of AI sparked something big. New ideas. Big questions. Bold experiments. Thank you for being part of it. #HourOfAI

@WebBadge is now a proud member of @1PercentFTP, committing to donate 1% of future revenue to support environmental organizations focused on the environment.

[Mitchell Nguyen 💪🕸🤟 @NguyenMitchell]

We’re teaming up for trust and sustainability as we build trust in the digital world, one badge at a time. We believe that small actions—like a single badge or a single acorn—can grow into something much greater, especially when done collectively.

If you're building in this space, I’d love to hear how you're approaching these layers—or where this framing might fall short.

At @WebBadge - Your badge on the web, we’re exploring how identity systems can be made more modular, interoperable, and inclusive.

In a recent conversation sparked by a post on @LinkedIn, I shared a framing that aligns three guiding questions with core identity system functions:
