UTA is a universal verifier that accepts 8 formats of credentials, including ATC v3, JWT, and X.509 certificates, and processes them through a 12-stage pipeline.

The UTA is available as an API, an NPM package, and a GitHub repository, and has achieved 6,744 verifications per second in benchmarks. The creators of UTA believe it is particularly relevant in Latin America, where new startups can adopt trust layers from the beginning.
