Create an Ecosystem

An Ecosystem in Hovi Studio refers to a self sovereign identity network where various tenants (organizations or entities) can securely interact, issue, and verify digital credentials.

If you're signing in to Hovi Studio for the first time, you'll automatically be taken through an onboarding process, which involves creating your first ecosystem. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a new ecosystem via the Hovi dashboard.
