Once you have your certificate, you want to use it by making claims against the verifiable facts contained in your certificate. For instance you may want to claim that you live in a particular city or that you're of a certain age.
This is similar to your paper diploma, where you can make claims about your expertise based on what type of diploma you possess.
This is easy to do in the app, just open the certificate and select the information you wish to make your claims against.
You can make claims against anything, as long as you have a certificate that can attest to the claimed facts, Certisfy will allow others to know whether your claims are true or not.
