The problem Styaapan solves

Education serves as a soul for the development of society as a whole, in one way or another. Those who want to enter, and who earn their degree honestly, will help the community with their knowledge and skills. But, on the other side of the coin, the problem of fake certificates is alarming and worrying. It has evolved in a variety of ways from paper-based dummy certificates to web-based abuses and rising to stellar levels in this digital age. In this regard, a blockchain approach that uses blockchain technology is proposed to store real certificates digitally and secure them securely whenever needed without delay. The proposed system ensures that certificates, once verified, can be readily available online for reference purposes and provides privacy coverage to the existing certification system. To ensure the reliability of the proposed method, a blockchain-based credential securing and verification system prototype is developed for the Ethereum testing network. The implementation and test results prove that it is a secure and viable solution for online certification management systems. Blockchain technology helps us build a space-based application that keeps all data secure and uninterrupted. In this application, data is stored in text format for easy implementation and testing, but once the transaction is complete, the data is converted into hash values ​​and stored in a block within the entire network. This provides security as a single block modification should disrupt all data throughout the series which is not possible due to multiple copies being distributed over a peer network. So the integrity of the data is maintained. The proposed method is implemented and tested using the Ethereum test net.

Challenges we ran into

The learning curve along with the implementation of polygon turned out to be quite steep.
Received a logical bug during Implementation for recipient certificates.
Educating organizations about the capabilities of this idea is a bit daunting.
Deploy it live on a website for demo was tedious.
