The problem CertiVerse solves

The problem at hand revolves around the current state of certificate issuance and validation in a world where a multitude of training programs, courses, and qualifications are offered. The existing system lacks an efficient and tamper-proof mechanism for verifying digital certificates, creating challenges for Government Offices, Students, Industry professionals, and Institutes. In the absence of a robust solution, there is a significant risk of certificate fraud and misrepresentation. Even the government issued certificates such as Birth certificate, Property details, Caste certificate are easily faked nowadays. So solving this problem was a must. We created a Dapp which solves this problem by coverting the generated certificates using blockchain into NFTs (Non Fungible Tokens) which makes them transparent and immutable.

Challenges we ran into

Many issues occured while using the latest solidity version to deploy the contract on the Polygon Network. After a very long session (~5h) of trial and errors, downgrading the solidity version to ^0.8.13 (previously ^0.8.21) and changing the deployer to truffle from hardhat solved the issue.
