C.R.E.D.D. stands for Certificate of Research, Exploration, Destruction and Development.
This is an item that can be purchased online at the WildStar website, and can then be bought and sold with other players in-game. This trading happens via the Commodities Exchange – basically a stock market that lets you trade C.R.E.D.D. to other players for earned in-game gold.
Description[]
So for players who don't want to purchase Signature service but dont want to be limitied to the restrictions of the Free Account, they can use gameplay to earn gold while playing WildStar. When the next month comes around, players can use gold earned in-game to purchase C.R.E.D.D. from other players on the CX. Players can cash in a C.R.E.D.D for a month of Signature service.
So that sounds good – but what about those players who don’t have as much time as they'd like to play WildStar, but want a little extra in-game gold? Those folks can purchase C.R.E.D.D. online from the WildStar store and trade it on the CX for gold: basically trading their extra cash to help another player play for free in return for a pile of gold. This as a safe and secure way for players who want to buy gold to have a way of getting some in-game cash without funding gold farming outfits and all the hacking and scamming that can entail.

Patch changes[]
- Prior to September 29th 2015, C.R.E.D.D. could be used to purchase subscription time. Post that date, the game is available as a Free to Play model and C.R.E.D.D. can be used to purchase Signature service.
Strain Ultradrop:The purchasing of buying more than 1 C.R.E.D.D. in a short time was resulting in only 1 item being shown as purchased. This has been fixed and should now appear properly.
