WHO WE ARE
About us
SmartDegrees is a platform for the registration and certification of diplomas and academic certificates, with associated services, which allows to put their value in the labour market and in the society, while at the same time making them immutable, assuring its validity indefinitely.
It uses distributed ledger technology, blockchain, which opens enormous possibilities to the graduates, universities, work platforms and recruiters. The diplomas and certificates evolve from being a static element supported in paper or digitally signed file to be safe digital assets and, therefore, dynamic, under the exclusive control of the graduate.
Our mission
Our vision
The solution is based in three main components:
The blockchain network
The users app
The APIs
Technology
The platform is based in blockchain technology, which is key to provide the required security. Blockchain, also called the Internet of value, is an innovative technology, which consists of:
- Database that keeps a distributed record, which can be inspected openly.
- Value network to transfer transactions, value, assets between peers, without the assistance of intermediaries.
- Transaction validation mechanism, replacing previous entities of trust.
These capabilities allow to solve the security in the identification and payments, lacking in the Internet of information. As it is doing in other sectors, such as banking, blockchain will be the most important technology for changing higher education, given the advantages it provides: autonomy, trust, transparency and traceability, immutability, disintermediation and collaboration.
SmartDegrees uses Quorum, based on Ethereum, with consensus by vote, since it is the most mature and suitable blockchain platform for diplomas certifications.
In addition, it records operations on the public blockchain platform Alastria, to add transparency and greater security.
This platform allows to use this type of certification outside of higher education institutions, with the assurance that the information is certified by a network of university partners, business schools and other academic institutions.
SmartDegrees will store part of the digital identity of each person, so it can be used as a way to identify and authenticate to the graduate, its owner. This information could be used by the owner of it and also by other actors in society: human resources of corporations, labour platforms, social networks … Using the SmartDegrees API and SmartDegrees applications will be possible to verify and obtain information from the SmartDegrees network.
