Get Started

Let’s get you started with Affinidi Trust Network.

Before you begin using our products and developer tools like  Affinidi Portal and Affinidi CLI, you have to install Affinidi Vault. We use the Affinidi Login to authenticate developers and grant access to our products with Affinidi Vault as the identity provider.

Additionally, once you integrate Affinidi Login into your application, you can use your Affinidi Vault to test and verify the integration.

Set up Affinidi Vault

1. Install the Affinidi Vault Browser Extension via Google Chrome store.

Finally, you should see on the screen that you have successfully registered to the Affinidi Vault.
