Issuing blockchain verified digital credentials has never been easier and economical than it will be with Certifyd. Entities like ed-tech organizations, NGOs, Blockchain Tech companies and Independent educators could leverage Certifyd to issue credentials to their users/attendees/volunteers/employees.

The credentials issued using Certifyd are indissoluble, authentic, and couldn’t be hacked. It will also offer services like easy credentials tracking tools (social shares) for entities, email marketing tools integration and MOOC integration. Also, Résumé and Credential portfolio tracking for credential receivers.

We have been working on this vision from last three months, and are excited to share its Alpha release. For now an entity could create a group and issue credential to users on WAX Testnet. We are actively working on email integration and social media tracking (upcoming).

In case you are an entity, influencer, or independent educator who wish to leverage Credentials for community building, we would love to have you try and leverage Certifyd.
