As an advocate of Decentralized Identity and Verifiable Credentials (W3C) I’m often asked what can NFTs do that Verifiable Credentials can’t. Still haven’t heard a compelling answer.

They’re much stronger spec’d and will always be more compatible with more supporting apps / contracts because of that.

Not remotely true. VCs have a well defined spec. NFTs have dozens of specs across different chains

The most important part of the VC, the proof, is not well defined at all. It’s not even part of the main spec, they leave it up to extensions. Idk what other chains you’re referring to, any NFT that wants to work with apps just need to conform to 721/1155

ETH isn’t the only blockchain. Unreasonable to expect all credentials comply with ETH RFCs. Extensions isn’t quite accurate: both Data Integrity and JWT representations are in v1 and in the process of being refined as distinct specs for v2.
