Blockchain Authenticated Academic Certificates Issuance Platform
A chatbot-powered integrated and dynamic polling system with a web-based admin portal to help drive engagement for one of the leading regional-language daily TV channels. The system was deeply integrated with the programming & content of the daily shows on the TV channel and used Whatsapp message-based polling for questions asked daily during the air time of the various shows.
Project Overview
Renderbit Technologies partnered with a leading educational group to build a blockchain-enabled digital certificate issuance and verification platform. The solution allows institutions to issue academic and extracurricular certificates securely while enabling real time verification by employers and academic bodies. The system eliminates forgery risks and removes dependency on physical documents by storing immutable certificate records on blockchain and enabling instant credential validation.
Plan of Action
Analysed existing certificate issuance process and identified inefficiencies and risks.
Designed blockchain-backed architecture ensuring immutability and scalability.
Developed portals for administrators, students, and employers with secure access controls.
Built certificate issuance workflow with QR based verification, audit trail, and revocation logic.
Deployed the platform on AWS to support large scale issuance operations.
Created a future ready system to support mobile apps and external audit nodes.

Key Highlights
Transforming Academic Credential Security Through Blockchain
The platform ensures secure issuance, management, and verification of certificates using blockchain technology, providing tamper proof, traceable digital records accessible by students and employers globally. The system architecture is fully scalable and supports future integrations including mobile applications and third party audit nodes.
Problems
- High risk of counterfeit certificates damaging institutional credibility.
- Manual verification processes caused significant delays and administrative overhead.
- Lack of digital infrastructure to issue certificates at scale with trusted authenticity.
Challenges
- Building a verification system trusted by employers and academic institutions globally.
- Designing a fully immutable transaction and data history that still allowed certificate revocation with audit tracking.
- Ensuring seamless usability for non-technical stakeholders including students, examination departments, and HR teams.
- Upgrading from traditional workflows to blockchain architecture without disrupting ongoing academic operations.
Technologies Used
- Ethereum Blockchain
- Node.js, Express
- React, Bootstrap
