Nowadays environmental and community issues keep rising, ranging from endangered animals to broader environmental concerns. However, we must also focus on building rural communities to improve the lives of their residents. In addition to these issues, the market is oversaturated with non-value-adding NFTs and too many loyalty programs. Encoteki offers tangible and transparent impacts on the environment and local communities. Encoteki NFT holders can enjoy real-world benefits and utilities, such as discounts or special prices when transacting at Encoteki subsidiaries or SME partners, dividends from Encoteki subsidiaries, access to the DAO, and much more. SME partners will also gain exposure and earn royalties from Encoteki NFT transactions. In addition to NFTs, Encoteki subsidiaries are dedicated to sustainability and the community. Through collaborations with SMEs and subsidiaries, we create a comprehensive approach to sustainability, resulting in a win-win situation for everyone involved and a lasting impact.

Credential forgery has skyrocketed globally (~2,100%), costing the education sector at least ~$70 million, with manual verification processes taking 3-5 days, being slow, and prone to fraud. This erodes trust in authentic achievements and burdens institutions. Validia, developed on Lisk, provides a solution for: Issuers (Schools, Universities, Training/Certification Bodies): They can conduct online exams and issue various digital credentials (such as diplomas, transcripts, skill certificates) securely and tamper-proof, directly onto the Lisk blockchain. The per-certificate payment model using IDRX makes issuance costs stable and affordable. Credential Holders (Students, Professionals): They receive, own, and can easily share their verified credentials, which are securely stored on the blockchain. Verifiers (Companies, Further Education Institutions, Scholarship Providers): They can instantly verify the authenticity of any credential in under 5 seconds with just a few clicks via our public platform. How does Validia make tasks easier and safer? Easier: Validia slashes verification time from days to seconds, eliminating cumbersome and costly manual processes, and simplifying credential management for all parties involved. Safer: By recording every credential on the Lisk blockchain, documents become unforgeable, unalterable, and tamper-proof. Our solution is specifically designed to combat various fraud schemes such as "fake-but-original" credentials issued by rogue insiders, database manipulation by institutional staff, "diploma mill" operations, and the forgery or alteration of physical and digital documents. Each credential has a transparent and permanent audit trail on Lisk, restoring integrity and trust to every achievement.
