Academic Credential Registry

Verify every degree.
In thirty seconds.

Issue every degree and transcript as a verifiable credential on an on-chain registry that anyone can check in seconds. Fraudulent degrees produce no valid record, so employers confirm authenticity by QR scan instead of weeks of manual back-office verification.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn the paper degree, and the slow phone-and-email verification behind it, into an instant cryptographic check.

01.

Issuer Registry

Anchor the authority to grant degrees. Only accredited institutions hold a registered issuer key on the DID and VC Ledger, so a certificate minted by a degree mill has no valid signature and fails verification instantly.

02.

Verifiable Diploma

Bind each degree to its graduate. The Provenance Notary seals the program, class, and conferral date to the student's decentralized identifier, making later forgery or grade inflation mathematically detectable.

03.

Instant QR Verification

Collapse the verification window. An employer resolves a diploma QR to a genuine or invalid result in seconds, with no email to the registrar and no two-week wait for a transcript.

04.

Cross-Border Recognition

Make international recognition instant. A foreign employer or evaluation body verifies a degree against the same on-chain record, replacing costly and slow credential-recognition services.

05.

Consent-Governed Sharing

Keep the graduate in control. Records are disclosed only when the holder presents them from their wallet, so a candidate shares a verified degree without exposing an entire academic file.

06.

Revocation Registry

Handle rescinded degrees cleanly. If a qualification is revoked for misconduct, the institution flips its on-chain status, and every future verification reflects the change immediately.

The Credentialing Lifecycle

Follow a single degree from conferral at the university through to a thirty-second check by an overseas employer.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes credential verification into modular contracts. Each layer registers issuers, mints degrees, governs disclosure, and exposes verification without any central registrar controlling the record.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Credential verification is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors in the education ecosystem put the shared registry to work.

Universities & Colleges

Issue every degree and transcript as a signed credential, eliminating the registrar back-office that answers verification calls and protecting the institution's brand against forged certificates.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a legacy student information system or issuing directly to graduate wallets, Cerulea routes both into one verifiable credential record.

Track A: Institution SIS Bridging

For universities on legacy student information systems. Conferred results are translated into signed on-chain credentials through the API gateway automatically at convocation.

Track B: Graduate Wallet Issuance

For graduates holding credentials on mobile. A wallet app receives each verifiable diploma and signs selective presentations directly for employers and evaluators.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects digital-identity integration benchmarks. Onboarding accredited issuers, writing verifiable-credential and revocation logic, and shipping a public verification portal for an average network takes a baseline of 9 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your issuer and disclosure rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared credential ledger and verification layer instantly.
