The DQF digital badges are created, issued, and verified under the umbrella supervision of the Skillman.eu network, the transnational platform of Centres of Vocational Excellence for emerging skills in Advanced Manufacturing.

These badges are deposited on Skillman's European Digital Credentials for Learning Infrastructure and enhanced through integration with the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI). 

By leveraging EBSI, the DQF ensures that credentials securely stored in the Skillman infrastructure are tamper-proof, and verifiable across borders.
This integration aligns with European standards for decentralisation, enabling learners to gain full control over their digital qualifications while maintaining trust and interoperability throughout the European education and labour ecosystem.
