Zaigo's Blockchain Innovation in Digital Certification

Zaigo Infotech revolutionizes certification with blockchain technology, ensuring secure creation, distribution, and transparent authentication of digital certificates and badges.

About The Client

Our client is a digital service provider that offers educational and technical training courses and content to students and professionals, helping them enhance their knowledge and advance their careers.

Project Background

The client wants to develop an online platform for the distribution of digital course certificates and badges to their students. The platform to be developed is also intended to offer maximum security and data protection using blockchain technology and validate the certificates and badges earned by the students on completing the courses successfully.

Goal

The project's primary aim was to create a web application enabling educational institutions to create certificates and badges using a canvas-based editor and use the templates created for issuing badges and certificates to their students upon course completion. These badges and certifications are integrated using blockchain technology, with each issuance of a badge or certificate resulting in the creation of a unique NFT token. This NFT token incorporates essential information such as the student's name, the completed course, the date of completion, and the NFT's value.

Project Timeline

The overall timeframe for the development of the project was 4 months.

Challenges

The key challenge we encountered revolved around integrating the student and course information from the existing application and creating the students in the Mycreds platform using API and having the option to sync the courses and institutions within our platform completely automated and the issuance of the created certificate by integrating with blockchain technology to generate NFTs. Additionally, we needed to ensure that NFT tokens were generated specifically after badges/certificates were assigned to students.

Solution Delivered

To address the challenges, Zaigo adopted "Hedera," a blockchain framework adept at creating NFTs for certifications and badges, enhancing system transparency and utility. This approach included a verification URL for each NFT, ensuring easy access to pertinent information. The solution simplified sharing and validating certificates, allowing users to verify authenticity through a straightforward, accessible process.

Blockchain Framework Utilization

Zaigo proposed using "Hedera," a blockchain framework known for efficiently generating NFTs for badges and certifications.
Enhanced Transparency

Implemented a verification URL for each NFT, ensuring easy access to all relevant information, thus increasing the system's transparency.
Simplified Certificate Sharing and Validation

Enabled sharing of issued certificates through an open URL; authenticity can be easily verified by clicking the certificate, which displays all related information, simplifying the validation process.

Results & Benefits

Security and Authenticity

Using blockchain technology ensures the security and authenticity of badges and certificates. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that is extremely difficult to tamper with, providing confidence that the issued certificates are genuine.
Tamper-Proof

The use of blockchain makes the NFT tokens tamper-proof. Once issued, the information stored in the NFT cannot be altered or forged, providing a high level of trust in the credentials.
Ease of Verification

Anyone with access to the blockchain can easily verify the authenticity of the NFT certificates. This simplifies the verification process for employers and other parties interested in validating a student's credentials.
Reduction of Credential Fraud

The use of NFTs reduces the risk of credential fraud, as traditional paper certificates or even digital certificates can be easily forged or manipulated. With NFTs, this risk is significantly minimized.
Efficiency

Automating the issuance of certificates through blockchain technology reduces administrative overhead and the time required to generate and distribute physical or digital certificates. This can save educational institutions time and resources.
Transparency

Blockchain technology provides transparency in the issuance and management of certificates. Educational institutions, students, and potential employers can have a clear view of the entire certification process.
