UniCred platform overview

PLATFORM OVERVIEW

Discover the features behind trusted digital credentials

UniCred was built around a simple idea: digital credential management should happen on one connected platform, not across multiple tools. Built for institutions, students, and employers, it brings together issuance, verification, storage, integrations, administration, and data protection to support the complete credential lifecycle from start to finish.

FEATURE 01: BLOCKCHAIN ISSUANCE

Secure blockchain certificate issuance from day one

A certificate only matters if it can still be trusted years later. UniCred makes blockchain certificate issuance simple, helping institutions issue verifiable digital credentials that fit easily into existing workflows across any course or program.

++++

Issue trusted credentials instantly

Every credential is recorded on a tamper-proof degree issuance blockchain, creating permanent proof of origin.

Records are generated automatically during issuance
A credential is valid as soon as it is issued
Each credential is permanently linked to the issuing institution
++++

Give every credential a unique identity

Every certificate receives a unique cryptographic hash that serves as its digital identity.

Even within the same batch, no two credentials ever share a hash
Duplicate or forged certificates are easy to detect, since the hash simply won't match
Anyone can authenticate a credential independently
++++

Scale issuance without extra effort

Whether an institution issues 100 credentials or 100,000, UniCred keeps the process consistent through its bulk certificate issuance dashboard.

CSV files handle the upload, no manual entry needed
One workflow covers the entire batch, however large it is
Less repetitive work for admin teams
++++

Built for institutional teams

No institution needs to run blockchain infrastructure or bring in technical staff just to issue a credential.

Coding background or blockchain expertise not required
Academic and administrative teams run this on their own
Minimal training required for day-to-day credential issuance

FEATURE 02: QR-BASED CREDENTIAL VERIFICATION

Verify every credential with a simple scan

A digital credential is only useful when anyone can verify it instantly. Every UniCred credential carries a unique QR code, letting employers, universities, and other authorities confirm authenticity in seconds, without any waiting or manual requests.

++++

Every credential comes with a unique QR code

Each credential includes a secure, scannable QR code that links directly to its verification record.

QR code generates automatically the moment a credential is issued
Scan it using any smartphone or QR scanner
Works the same way on digital and downloaded credentials
++++

Instant verification for every stakeholder

Anyone can verify a credential without going through the issuing institution.

Employers can verify candidate qualifications in seconds
Academic achievements can be verified by universities directly
Government and licensing bodies can confirm authenticity on their own
++++

Clear verification results

Every scan returns an instant status through UniCred's blockchain QR credential validator.

Verified — the credential is authentic
Tampered — the credential was modified after issuance
Not found — no matching credential exists
++++

Verification without the friction

Verification stays quick and hassle-free by design.

Skip the login. No account is needed to verify anything
No calls or emails to the issuing institution needed
Complete verification in just a few seconds

FEATURE 03: DECENTRALIZED CREDENTIAL STORAGE

Store credentials beyond a single server

Credentials should stay accessible long after they are issued. UniCred's IPFS credential storage distributes files across a decentralized network, identified by content, not location, cutting downtime and keeping records within reach for students and verifiers.

++++

Distributed storage by design

Instead of one server, a distributed network holds every credential file.

Credentials are not dependent on a single storage location
Designed for reliable, long-term availability
Provides consistent access for students and verifiers worldwide
++++

Access credentials even during outages

No single platform or server should decide whether a credential is reachable.

Credentials remain accessible during service interruptions
Students can share credentials without disruption
Verifiers can access records without relying on a single system
++++

Linked to every blockchain record

Every stored credential connects back to its blockchain record through a unique cryptographic identifier.

Each credential receives a unique Content Identifier (CID)
The CID links directly to the blockchain hash
Any file change creates a new CID and breaks the hash match
++++

Built for resilience

Credential files live across a global network, not on one server. If one part goes down, the rest keeps working.

More reliable than traditional storage models
Distributed storage reduces the risk of data loss
A credential issued today is still reachable years from now

FEATURE 04: IMMUTABLE CREDENTIAL RECORDS

Protect academic records from unauthorized changes

Academic records should remain trustworthy long after they are issued. Every credential becomes part of an immutable academic records blockchain, so it can't be changed after issuance. Institutions get a permanent record; learners get proof that lasts.

++++

Records that cannot be changed

Once a credential is issued, its blockchain record becomes permanent.

Credential records cannot be altered or overwritten
Backdating and deletion simply aren't possible
Each credential stands as a permanent blockchain immutable degree record
++++

Detect tampering instantly

Every credential carries a cryptographic signature that validates its authenticity.

Change anything about the credential, and the signature changes with it
Verification catches that mismatch immediately
Employers and institutions can verify credentials with confidence
++++

Preserve records for the long term

Academic achievements should outlast systems, policies, and organizational changes.

Credentials remain verifiable through system upgrades
An institutional merger or restructuring has no effect on the record itself
Students retain trusted proof of achievement for life
++++

Support audits and compliance

Every credential maintains a transparent, traceable history from issuance onward.

Institutional reporting gets simpler as a result
Compliance and accreditation requirements are easier to meet
Every issued credential comes with a built-in auditable history

FEATURE 05: ERP & LMS INTEGRATION

Fit into the systems your institution already runs

Most institutions already use an LMS, an ERP, or both. UniCred's LMS blockchain integration connects directly to those tools, so issuing a credential becomes one more step in an existing process, not a separate system to manage.

++++

Works with your LMS

Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard are already part of everyday academic workflows. UniCred connects to each one directly.

Supports integration with Moodle, Canvas, and Blackboard
Reduces manual data transfer between learning systems and credential issuance
Fits naturally into existing academic workflows
++++

Connects to your ERP

UniCred connects with existing ERP systems, letting student records flow directly into the credential issuance process.

Syncs with SAP, Oracle, and other major ERP platforms
Keeps student data as the single source of truth
Works alongside existing student information systems
++++

Custom API integrations

Not every institution wants a prebuilt connector, and some need something more specific.

A REST API is available for institutions building their own integrations
Technical teams can pull credential data into internal dashboards or portals
Build custom workflows without waiting for product updates
++++

Built for systems without an API

Some institutions run systems that were never designed with integrations in mind.

CSV bulk upload covers institutions without API-ready systems
Upload student records directly from a spreadsheet
Credential issuance continues through the same bulk certificate issuance dashboard
++++

Automate credential issuance

Manual issuance doesn't scale, and it shouldn't have to.

Webhook support helps automate certificate issuance LMS workflows when a course is completed
No administrator needs to issue credentials manually
Students receive credentials in real time after course completion

FEATURE 06: CREDENTIAL MANAGEMENT DASHBOARD

Manage every credential from one place

Issuing a credential is only the beginning. UniCred's credential management dashboard gives administrators full visibility across departments, courses, and programs, combining bulk issuance and verification tracking in one place.

++++

Centralized credential management

Every issued credential lives in one dashboard instead of being scattered across separate systems.

Issue, track, and manage credentials from one dashboard
Credential status is visible across every program and department at once
Reduce repetitive administrative tasks
++++

Issue credentials in bulk

Whether issuing credentials for a graduating class or a professional certification program, the same bulk issuance workflow handles both.

Recipient lists upload directly through CSV files
Issue hundreds of credentials in a single workflow
The bulk certificate issuance dashboard cuts down manual effort at scale
++++

Track credential activity

What happens to a credential after it leaves the institution matters just as much as issuing it.

Every view and share gets logged the moment it happens
Get verification updates in real time
Institutions get a clear picture of how their credentials actually get used
++++

Control access with confidence

Role-based access ensures the right people have the right level of control over credential management.

Administrators and issuers work under role-based permissions
Departments can be managed separately without overlapping access
Every credential operation stays within institutional control

FEATURE 07: DATA PRIVACY & PROTECTION

Privacy built into every step

A blockchain record and personal privacy don't have to work against each other. UniCred is built as a GDPR-aligned blockchain credential platform, with blockchain student data security built into how it works, not added on top.

++++

Data stays off-chain

Only a cryptographic hash is written to the blockchain, while student data remains securely stored off-chain.

Student data never touches the blockchain
Personal details remain securely stored off-chain
The hash verifies authenticity without exposing personal data
++++

Student-controlled access

GDPR compliance means more than encrypting data. It means the student decides who sees it.

An institution can't grant access to a credential. Only the student can
Access remains under student control throughout the credential lifecycle
Students can revoke or manage access anytime
++++

Secure credential sharing

Credentials are shared only when the student chooses to share them.

Credential sharing is always opt-in
No credential goes out unless the student takes that step first
No automatic sharing or public exposure of credential data
++++

Encrypted by default

Encrypted storage and role-based permissions protect credential data across the platform.

Data is encrypted at rest, for every institution on the platform
Role-based access decides who can view or edit credential data
The same security rules apply to every account, no exceptions
++++

Built on open standards

Built on globally recognized standards for secure and interoperable digital credentials.

UniCred aligns with W3C Verifiable Credentials specifications
Open Badges compatibility keeps credentials portable across other systems
Use credentials across compliant platforms without vendor lock-in
