Our Features for Blockchain Academic Credential Verification

UniCred gives institutions a full-featured platform to issue, manage, and verify academic credentials on the blockchain. Everything is designed to reduce manual work, prevent fraud, and make verification instant and reliable.

Smart Contract Credential Issuance

Each institution receives its own smart contract to issue ERC-721 credentials. Every certificate minted is unique, verifiable, and cryptographically secure.

IPFS Academic Credential Storage

Credential data is stored on IPFS, ensuring long-term access with no dependency on private databases. This guarantees each credential remains accessible and tamper-proof.

Instant QR-Code Based Verification

Every certificate has a QR code linked to its NFT ID. Anyone can scan the code to check validity, ownership, and issuance details directly on-chain.

Credential Revocation and Update

Institutions can revoke or update credentials through the admin panel. Revoked certificates are flagged on-chain for real-time status verification.

Blockchain Credential Wallet Support

Students can claim their credentials into their own digital wallet. This gives them full ownership and control, enabling self-sovereign credential verification.

Admin and University Dashboards

Institutions can manage all credential activity through a secure dashboard with program setup, batch issuance, and real-time logs.

ERP and API Integrations

UniCred connects easily with existing ERPs or LMS platforms through APIs. Institutions can automate credential workflows without disrupting current systems.

Cross-Chain Compatibility

While built on Polygon, UniCred supports deployment on other EVM-compatible chains. Institutions have freedom to operate across networks when needed.

How Does UniCred Work?

UniCred turns academic certificates into secure digital assets on the blockchain. Institutions issue, store, and verify credentials through smart contracts and IPFS. Each credential is tamper-proof, easily shareable, and verified in seconds.

Step 1

Institution Onboarding

A university signs up and gets its contract on the platform. This contract is used to issue certificates from that point forward.

Step 2

Adding Certificate Details

Admins just log in and enter what's needed: student info, course name, and when it was completed. This can be done manually or piped in from their system.

Step 3

Minting the Credential

Once submitted, a certificate is created as a unique NFT. That token lives on the blockchain and represents the official record.

Step 4

Saving the Data

The details are uploaded to IPFS. This keeps the record accessible and locked; no edits, no tampering.

Step 5

Sharing with the Student

The credential stays with the institution by default, but students can claim it and keep it in their own wallet.

Step 6

Verifying the Record

Anyone who needs to check it—an employer, school, or agency—can scan the QR or search the blockchain. No calls or emails needed.
