The problem deCert solves

More and more Ed-Tech companies are trying to move into the Web3 and Metaverse space, the major issue faced by them is, dealing with a lot of new technology, and also managing the crypto funds and multiple accounts and contracts.
So a lot of Edu businesses/communities are trying to provide NFT certificates but there are too many things to handle for every single certificate
We are proving a simple fast API to ed-tech businesses to make their certificates into NFTs and send to the receiver. We are making the NFTs non-transferable so maintain the legitimacy of the certificates and can also showcase them in the metaverse.

Certificates re-engineered.

  1. Certificates created on Metaverse blockchain are becoming increasingly desired by Ed-Tech companies in order to recognize user's accomplishment of courses and educational content they have received.
  2. In addition, we can also help companies reduce the cost of certificates issued on Ethereum, Polygon, Tezos blockchains in a Metaverse ecosystem.
  3. It allows institutions to check the authenticity of a certificate before issuing it, and makes it possible to mint and verify blockchain-based certificates in seconds.
  4. It offers companies, universities, and other organizations a modern alternative to traditional certificates including paper certificates that can be easily faked.

We provide an easy-to-use, rapid API for ed-tech companies to convert their certificates into NFTs and send them to the recipient. We are making the NFTs non-transferable in order to retain the certificates' credibility.
For businesses there is no hassle of crypto wallet. Get legitimate ownership of your certificate over secure blockchain, certificates stay for life-time even if our server crashes

Challenges I ran into

  1. We made the api simple and easy to use for web2 developers.
 Our api makes a web2 developers easy to implement it to their website. They basically need 0 concept of web3 and metamask to use our api as their business login can be done using one google mail to get a api key. Now then can use our api and get the users metamask account to send the data to our api and our api handles all the complications of connecting it to the blockchain and uploads the certificate metadata to the blockchain network.
  2. We made the certificate non transferable 
We implement the transfer function on the smart contract but cleverly blocked it so that no user can transfer the certificate or sell it after the business has minted it using our api.
