Problem
Fake degree certificates are a widespread problem in India. Employers spend significant time and resources verifying certificates through manual processes contacting universities. There is no unified, tamper-proof verification system.
Solution
The system uses Ethereum/Polygon blockchain to mint academic certificates as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) with unique hashes. Institutions issue certificates by signing transactions with their private keys. Employers verify certificates by entering the certificate ID on a web portal, which queries the blockchain and returns verification status instantly. Role-based access control ensures only authorized institutions can issue certificates.
Patent Claims
