Best Practices

When should I use selective disclosure?

Use selective disclosure when:

• Sharing credentials with different parties
• Privacy is important
• Only specific claims are needed
• Preventing correlation across services

When should I use zero-knowledge proofs?

Use ZK proofs when:

• Proving age without revealing birthdate
• Proving income range without exact amount
• Proving membership without revealing identity
• Private voting in DAOs

How do I choose credential expiration dates?

Credential Type	Typical Expiration
KYC Verification	1 year
Academic Degrees	Never
Professional Licenses	2-5 years
Vaccination Records	6 months - 1 year
Employment	While employed
Event Tickets	Event date
