Award (AwardCredential) type.

The AwardCredential is a type of verifiable credential designed to recognize and document the receipt of an award or honor. This credential provides a secure and verifiable way to acknowledge an individual's or organization's achievements, ensuring that their accomplishments are formally recognized and easily shareable in professional, academic, or personal contexts.

AwardCredentials are particularly valuable in industries and fields where awards serve as a testament to excellence, innovation, or outstanding contributions. Whether the award is for design, academic performance, leadership, or any other significant achievement, the AwardCredential serves as a trusted record that can be verified by third parties.
