Standards & policy council
A cross-disciplinary council of clinicians, compliance leaders, technologists, and regulators who define standards for Proof-of-Human flows, credential schemas, retention policies, and cross-border data considerations.
Governance & compliance foundation
Neutral governance for human-centric credential rails.
Creda Foundation provides independent oversight, standards, and risk governance for the Creda Protocol, Creda Registry, and Proof-of-Human infrastructure—so hospitals, regulators, and platforms can trust the rail beneath their credentials.
Structured as a non-profit governance body focused on safety, neutrality, and regulatory alignment across all Creda ecosystem modules.
Mission
Protecting the integrity of Proof-of-Human credentials.
Digital credential rails are becoming critical infrastructure for healthcare, finance, and other regulated
sectors. If those rails fail, it is not a “software bug”—it is a patient, investor, or public-safety risk.
The mission of Creda Foundation is to ensure that the Creda ecosystem remains safe, neutral, regulator-ready, and human-centric. We steward the standards, policies, and ethical guardrails that define how Proof-of-Human identity and credential state machines operate.

- Align protocol design with regulatory expectations and audit requirements.
- Protect end-users—providers, patients, and consumers—from misuse of credential data.
- Maintain neutrality between hospitals, staffing firms, vendors, and platforms.
- Provide long-term stewardship independent from any single commercial entity.

Regulatory alignment
Governance
A three-pillar model for ecosystem trust.
Risk & ethics committee
Independent oversight focused on safety, fairness, and acceptable use. Reviews new modules and major protocol changes for bias, security, and systemic risk before deployment to production environments.
Ecosystem advisory board
Representatives from health systems, staffing groups, regulators, and technology partners provide ongoing feedback on real-world deployments and help prioritize roadmap decisions and guardrails.
Change management process
Transparent processes for proposing, reviewing, and approving protocol or registry changes—including impact analysis, security review, and clear communication to ecosystem participants.
Transparency & reporting
Regular public reports on uptime, incidents, governance decisions, and roadmap priorities give regulators and partners confidence in how the rail is being managed over time.
Foundation charter
A formal charter defines purpose, authority, limitations, and conflict-of-interest policies to ensure that ecosystem decisions are made in the public interest, not just commercial interest.
Programs
Where governance meets real-world deployment.
Creda Foundation operates programs that connect governance with day-to-day operational reality—bridging
the gap between whitepapers, regulation, and hospital floors.
- Advisory cohorts: structured groups of early health systems and staffing partners paired with Foundation members to shape deployment standards.
- Regulatory working groups: collaborative forums for regulators and auditors to explore on-chain attestations, zero-knowledge proofs, and audit models.
- Risk & incident reviews: post-incident processes that feed lessons back into the core protocol and registry designs.
- Education & reference materials: briefing packs, model policies, and implementation guides for compliance teams and boards.

Advisory & partners
Help shape the governance of Proof-of-Human rails.
We are especially interested in:
Early advisors help define:
- Chief Medical Officers, CNOs, and credentialing leaders at multi-site health systems.
- Regulators, auditors, and policy experts in healthcare, financial services, and identity.
- Security, risk, and data-ethics leaders with experience in critical infrastructure.
Early advisors help define:
- The foundation charter and decision-making processes.
- Risk and incident-response playbooks for the ecosystem.
- Standards that will guide deployments for years to come.
