Who We Are
We’re Lucero Labs, a team passionate about modernizing signature processes through Web3 technologies. Our mission is to make Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) accessible, practical, and community-driven. We believe that digital identity should be in the hands of individuals, not centralized authorities.
Our Open Source Journey
Our endeavor has led us to build and openly support Quark ID, a comprehensive SSI solution. We’re taking what exists and making it work because there’s no existing community or support around it. To foster adoption and community engagement, we kickstarted the Sinodos Community - an initiative designed to build understanding around the tooling and create an open community that will maintain and support the protocol; part of the Crecimiento movement
The Challenge: DevConnect Needs a QuarkID Credential Infra
DevConnect has issued QuarkID credentials to some attendees, but there’s currently no public or known way to actually use these credentials for their intended purpose. More broadly, there’s no accessible infrastructure for anyone in the DevConnect ecosystem to create, issue, or verify credentials.
The Missing Infrastructure:
- No system for event access management using DevConnect credentials
- No way for venues to verify attendee credentials at entry points
- No mechanism for offering discounts or perks based on credential verification
- No easy way for workshop organizers, side events, or community projects to issue their own credentials
- No accessible tools for developers to integrate credential verification into their applications
What We’ve Built
We’ve been running workshops for the past month and plan to continue for the next few months, focusing on education and hands-on experience with the tools. Here’s what we’ve developed:
Quark ID Agent
Our core agent is capable of issuing and verifying generic credentials. The beauty of our system is its accessibility - anyone can use it to:
- Issue credentials for various use cases
- Verify any credential, including the DevConnect credentials issued recently
- Configure webhook calls that post credential presentation results
This opens up exciting possibilities: businesses can offer discounts to holders of specific credentials, developers can integrate our agent into their applications, and organizations can build trust networks around verified identities.
Autopen Frontend
We’ve developed Autopen, a user-friendly frontend for our agent that simplifies:
- Credential creation
- Verification processes
- Digital signing
We’re releasing the core credential management functionality as open tooling, making it easy for developers to integrate SSI into their applications.
Our Open Source Solution:
We can provide a complete credential infrastructure immediately with our open source Quark ID tools:
- Verify existing DevConnect credentials and any new ones created
- Webhook configuration for seamless access control integration
- Simple web interface for credential scanning with instant verification
- Easy credential creation through Autopen for anyone who wants to issue credentials
- Open APIs and documentation for developers to build on top of
This open source approach ensures the DevConnect community has the complete credential ecosystem it needs, maintained by the community itself.

What’s Next
We’re committed to making DevConnect a showcase for what’s possible with community-driven SSI. Our workshops will continue, our tools will evolve, and our community will grow. But most importantly, we’re building something that belongs to everyone - an open protocol that can adapt and thrive because it’s maintained by the people who use it.
