What is VQL?

Hey there! Following our recent coverage of system integrators, we're now diving into VQL - a term you've probably heard a lot about. 

‍

Let's finally explore what it's all about!

What is VQL?

Vault Query Language, or in shorthand VQL, is a code-based language built for developers building dapps that leverage information inside the Vault.

‍

The Vault is an on-and-off hybrid identity solution, through with an individual creates, manages and utilised their digital identity.

‍

Whilst the Vault offers self-custodial options for individual users, it still needs to provide the mechanics to exchange identity information from point A (the Vault) to point B (eg, an identity-gated feature in a dapp)

‍

VQL is that mechanic through which developers can code a request for information from the Vault. 

‍

To simplify the experience, we’ve built VQL into a web-based platform. 

Developers (or anyone with a Vault) can login to their unique VQL account using and start generating QR codes.

‍

These QR codes are embedded with requests into the Vault, and information (at the approval of an individual user) is made shareable between the different parties.

‍

We previously shared a demo for business owners. Check the video here.
