# Getting Started

Explore our issuer, verifier and wallet product below or learn more about the walt.id Community Stack and its
architecture [here](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/home/the-community-stack.md).

**Note:**

New to walt.id? Start with **Issuer2**, **Verifier2**, and **Wallet API v2** below — they implement the finalized [**OID4VCI 1.0**](https://docs.walt.id/concepts/data-exchange-protocols/openid4vci.md) and [**OID4VP 1.0**](https://docs.walt.id/concepts/data-exchange-protocols/openid4vp.md) specifications, instead of the draft versions supported by the original APIs. The original Issuer, Verifier, and Wallet APIs are deprecated but remain available for existing integrations.

### Quick Start

If you want to try out all the walt.id services quickly, you can use
our [docker compose](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/docker-compose) shown below. This launches
locally both service generations:

- **Current generation:** [Issuer API v2](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-issuer-api2), [Verifier API v2](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-verifier-api2), [Wallet API v2](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-wallet-api2)
- **Original:** [Issuer API](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-issuer-api), [Verifier API](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-verifier-api), [Wallet API](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-services/waltid-wallet-api)

The docker compose setup also launches our [Web Wallet](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-applications/waltid-web-wallet) _(v1 only)_, [Web Portal v1](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-identity/tree/main/waltid-applications/waltid-web-portal) _(v1 only)_, [Web Portal v2](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/issuer2/apps/portal2/overview.md), and [Verifiable Credentials Repo](https://github.com/walt-id/waltid-credentials).

We also provide links to all services deployed in our test environment below.
