Kenya Puts 30 Million Academic Records on Avalanche
Kenya has launched a blockchain-based platform that allows employers, universities and other institutions to verify academic credentials onchain.
Developed by the Kenya National Examinations Council in partnership with Avalanche, the system places more than 30 million academic records on the blockchain to combat forged certificates and make qualifications easier to authenticate.
The platform is designed to create tamper-resistant digital certificates that can be checked without relying solely on paper documents or manual verification. However, KNEC and Avalanche have not disclosed how many students, employers or educational institutions are currently using the service.
The rollout represents one of Avalanche’s largest public-sector deployments and expands its use beyond cryptocurrency and decentralized finance into government record verification.
Avalanche did not clarify whether the system is expected to increase demand for AVAX, the network’s native token.
