Credential Kiosk

Any school, bootcamp, or guild issues verifiable certificates in an afternoon.

A coding bootcamp in Accra has graduates whose PDFs get forged. With Credential Kiosk they issue onchain certificates employers verify in one click.

How the vessel is built

Mission

Let any place that teaches give its learners proof of what they earned, which anyone can check in one tap.

The need

Small schools, bootcamps and trade guilds hand out PDF certificates that anyone can edit in a minute. Employers either trust a file they should not, or phone the school, and honest graduates' real grades look exactly like fakes.

What it will never do

  • Sign or issue a certificate without the school's signers
  • Put names, grades or files onchain
  • Tell employers who else checked a graduate
  • Revoke without a written reason and notice to the graduate
Owner playbook

Pick your voyage

Certificate platforms charge per learner and put their brand on your graduates' proof. When you own Credential Kiosk, every certificate is issued from your wallet under your school's or guild's name, and the verifier page employers click lives on your domain. You keep the issuing record, the learner list and the revenue if you issue for others.

Straight answers

Before you own it

Accredible and Disco already exist. Why would anyone pick mine?

Honestly, this category is well served, so your edge is price, branding and being local. A bootcamp in your city that cannot justify a per-certificate SaaS bill, or wants its own domain, is your customer. Do not try to beat the big players on features; beat them on being the person who answers the phone.

I can't code.

You do not need to. Issuing is a CSV upload in the dashboard, the template is set at purchase, and recipients claim with an email or wallet. Your work is getting schools to try it and helping their admin upload the first batch.

Will employers actually trust an onchain certificate?

Most employers do not care about the chain; they care that one click shows the certificate is real and who issued it. The public verifier page does that. Teach issuers to put the verify link on every certificate and CV.

What if a school issues something wrong or fraudulent?

The issuer is responsible for what they issue, and your terms should say so. Revocation lets an issuer withdraw a certificate, and the verifier page shows it was revoked. Only onboard issuers you can identify, and list the issuer's name clearly on every certificate.

Is issuing certificates legal where I live?

Issuing a record of completion is generally fine, but calling something an accredited degree or license is regulated in most countries. Keep wording to 'certificate of completion' unless the issuer holds the accreditation. If unsure, ask a local education lawyer before onboarding a formal institution.
