Micro-Credential Layer

Carry your skills.
Verified in seconds.

Stand up a hybrid vocational credential chain with non-transferable soulbound tokens and a public employer verification API. Credential fraud is eliminated and employers verify any candidate's skill certifications in seconds instead of days of manual checking.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a paper vocational certificate into a portable soulbound credential any employer can verify through an open API.

01.

Soulbound Micro-Credential

Issue each skill as a non-transferable token. The Soulbound Token module binds a vocational credential to the worker's wallet, so it cannot be sold or borrowed like a printed certificate.

02.

Worker Identity

Anchor the holder. The DID and VC Ledger ties each credential to a verified worker identity, so an employer confirms who holds the skill and not merely that a certificate exists.

03.

Issuance Notary

Seal the achievement. The Provenance Notary anchors the course, skill level, and issuing body by digest, making a fabricated vocational certificate detectable against the record.

04.

Public Verification API

Let any employer check in seconds. An open verification API resolves a credential to genuine or invalid, replacing days of phoning training centres to confirm a certificate.

05.

Stackable Skill Profile

Accumulate credentials over time. Micro-credentials stack into a portable skill profile, so a worker carries a growing, verifiable record of competencies between employers and regions.

06.

Hybrid Chain Portability

Verify beyond one issuer. Because credentials live on a shared chain, a worker's certifications remain verifiable even when they move between training providers, sectors, or states.

The Credential Lifecycle

Follow a single vocational credential from course completion through soulbound issuance to instant employer verification.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes micro-credential portability into modular contracts. Each layer records completion, mints a soulbound token, stacks the skill profile, and exposes a public API without any training provider mediating trust.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Portable micro-credentials are a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors put the credential chain to work.

Vocational Training Providers

Issue tamper-proof soulbound credentials that employers verify through an open API, protecting graduates against credential fraud and raising the market value of every certificate they award.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a training provider's course system or issuing credentials to worker wallets, Cerulea routes both onto one hybrid credential chain.

Track A: Provider System Bridging

For training providers on existing course systems. Completion events are translated into soulbound credential mints through the API gateway automatically.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects hybrid-chain development benchmarks. Writing soulbound credential logic, building a stackable skill profile, and shipping a public verification API for an average provider takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your credential and profile rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the credential chain and verification API instantly.
