Abstract

Researchers are delving into blockchain technology (BT) due to its attributes like reliability, decentralization, data veracity, and security. However, its application in education remains underexplored, with gaps in understanding its potential to address sector-specific challenges. Certificates are crucial in education, serving as essential records for professional careers, making their integrity and longevity vital. Yet, many educational institutions and certification authorities still rely on paper-based certificates, which are inefficient, prone to loss, and susceptible to fraud. These outdated methods highlight the urgent need for digitization. The proposed blockchain platform for education, built on the Ethereum blockchain, uses smart contracts to automate and enhance the certification process. This approach creates a transparent, efficient, and reliable framework for managing, sharing, and verifying credentials. By integrating BT, the education sector can improve the accuracy, security, and accessibility of certifications, paving the way for a modernized and trustworthy system.
