Zug, Switzerland – Edubuk, an esteemed provider of Emerging Technologies education announced on January 15 that has joined forces with Concordium, a science-backed, leading Layer 1 blockchain, to enhance the security and authenticity of credential verification for academic certifications. Leveraging Concordium's cutting-edge eSealing solution, Edubuk aims to empower graduates worldwide by securing university diplomas and making them fully verifiable on-chain.
Concordium’s open-source eSealing mechanism allows immutable data to be written onto the Concordium blockchain using individual wallets at a minimal cost, providing a secure and cost-effective way to verify the authenticity of documents. Edubuk has leveraged the open-source eSealing mechanism in the development of their proprietary diploma verification product, ensuring that diploma and issuer information can easily be verified at any time.
Holger Fischer, Ecosystem Manager at Concordium, stated: “Businesses and professional relationships are built on trust and by choosing to integrate with Concordium, Edubuk is empowering its community of graduates and employers to build relationships that are based on trust from day one. We’re delighted to work closely with the team and bring on-chain document authentication to job seekers and employers worldwide. By empowering students with the ability to prove the validity of their diplomas to future employers through blockchain-verified credentials, this collaboration aligns seamlessly with Concordium's mission of creating a safer tomorrow. ”
Indian-based Edubuk is dedicated to combating fake resumes through blockchain-verified credentials. Having spent years developing the tools and knowledge necessary to succeed in the continuously evolving career landscape of the 21st century, the company launched its latest initiative in July - the Certified Emerging Technologies Analyst (CETA) program. With this program Edubuk has already educated more than 800 students on emerging technologies. Students are already now able to verify the authenticity of their digital certificates on the Concordium blockchain. The partnership extends beyond individual students to collaborating universities; each partnering university will possess a Concordium account, utilizing the Edubuk diploma verification product to eSeal all diplomas issued to students.
Apoorva Bajaj, CTO at Edubuk, stated: “ A significant amount of time, cost, and effort is wasted every year by students, graduates, and employers trying to verify academic and professional qualifications. By partnering with Concordium and verifying these credentials on the blockchain, job-applicants and employers can hope to recoup this time and put it to better use, namely, by beginning to develop a professional relationship that is based on trust.”
