Connecting colleges & businesses



Overview

This project aims to connect colleges and businesses by providing a network for creating and sharing digital certificates.

This project uses a Blockchain network to keep track of all the documents uploaded.

Blockchains are immutable meaning they give everyone on the network peace of mind that all the data is legitimate and has not been edited.


How does it work?

Colleges will upload pdf or word files containing details about a graduates' academic credentials. Businesses can then retrieve these by searching for a graduates unique hash on the network.
