To this day, there is no comprehensive solution for the issuance and sharing of digital academic credentials such as transcripts and diplomas. Credentials are still printed, stamped, and mailed – a costly and slow process. EduChain aims to enable universities to issue official digital academic credentials instantly, and automate their verification. It brings control over records into the hands of the registrar, and control over who views academic records into the hands of the student. Using blockchain technology, the platform brings about a paradigm shift in the way credentials can be managed, disrupting incumbent intermediaries and creating value for universities, students, and employers. EduChain’s vision is to create a global, decentralized platform that will redefine how people issue, share, and verify credentials.
