mint
Functionality: Mint a VC
Usage: chia wallet vcs mint [OPTIONS]
Options:
| Short Command | Long Command | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -wp | --wallet-rpc-port | INTEGER | False | Set the port where the Wallet is hosting the RPC interface. See the rpc_port under wallet in config.yaml |
| -f | --fingerprint | INTEGER | False | Set the fingerprint to specify which key to use as the issuing wallet |

Example
A DID is required in order to mint a new VC. If the proof provider does not already have a DID, use the did create command to create one. For example:
chia wallet did create -f 2108245669 -n Provider_DID -m 0.0001
Response:
Successfully created a DID wallet with name Provider_DID and id 2 on key 2108245669
Successfully created a DID did:chia:1n2s77g7rer2v62xzrvd0at6tgx8m4g8t6encghs375r64lc6e5mssdkap3 in the newly created DID wallet
Next, mint a new VC. Note that the DID specified with -d must be owned by the fingerprint specified with -f (or the one selected if -f is not used). For example:
chia wallet vcs mint -f 2108245669 -d did:chia:1n2s77g7rer2v62xzrvd0at6tgx8m4g8t6encghs375r64lc6e5mssdkap3 -m 0.0001
Response:
New VC with launcher ID minted: 13ba084e78475327e41c60df5a108965d7a283f065b5506e266ffb3563937b6c

After the transaction has been confirmed, it is possible to show the VC by running the get command:
chia wallet vcs get -f 2108245669
Response:
Proofs:

It is recommended that you save the Launcher ID because it will be needed if the VC needs to be revoked later.
No proofs have been added yet. This is accomplished with the update_proofs command.
revoke
Functionality: Revoke any VC if you have the proper DID and the VC's parent coin
Usage: chia wallet vcs revoke [OPTIONS]
Options:
| Short Command | Long Command | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| -wp | --wallet-rpc-port | INTEGER | False | Set the port where the Wallet is hosting the RPC interface. See the rpc_port under wallet in config.yaml |
| -f | --fingerprint | INTEGER | False | Set the fingerprint to specify which key to use |
| -p | --parent-coin-id | TEXT | True* | The ID of the parent coin of the VC (*optional if VC ID is used) |
| -l | --vc-id TEXT | TEXT | True* | The launcher ID of the VC to revoke (must be tracked by wallet) (*optional if Parent ID is used) |
| -m | --fee | TEXT | False | Blockchain fee for revocation transaction, in XCH |
| --reuse-puzhash | None | False | If this flag is set, then send the VC back to the same puzzle hash it came from (ignored if --generate-new-puzhash is also specified) [Default: generate new puzzle hash] | |
| --generate-new-puzhash | None | False | If this flag is set, then send the VC to a new puzzle hash. This is the default behavior, and setting this flag will override the --reuse-puzhash flag if it is also set | |
| -h | --help | None | False | Show a help message and exit |
Example
Revoke the proofs from a VC. A few notes:
- The only wallet authorized to call this command is the wallet that contains the DID that created the VC
chia wallet vcs revoke -l 0x420f69cc8b541be7a0bf1d94ec028a8b2a875ee2cd6721f5316cf1b02519d13a -m 0.0001

Update the proofs. A few notes:
- The only wallet authorized to call this command is the wallet that contains the DID that created the VC
