Episode 45 of 'Rebirth: A New Life in the Cryptocurrency World' - 'Decentralized High School Diploma'
On the third day after the Z protocol liquidation was completed, Lin Feng stood on the roof of the original school broadcasting building, watching the playground return to the rhythm of morning exercises.
No Bitcoin banners, no Z-number interrogations, just a few yawning seniors drowsily stretching to the rhythm.
"Not bad," he said.
That noon, Su Tingting brought a large stack of paper files and a damaged USB drive:
"These are the student records that have been erased on-chain.
Some are testers who participated in the numbering experiment, and some are replacements for failed products."
"I want to do something."
Lin Feng deployed a new contract program on-chain:
[DIP: Decentralized Identity Proof]
Chinese name: "Decentralized Identity Restoration Plan"
The content is very simple – all students who were replaced, hidden, or deleted in the Z project can submit self-verification,
The system will reissue them digital diplomas, life resumes, and future educational credibility endorsements.
The school initially refused: "What qualifications do you have to issue diplomas?"
Lin Feng tossed the governance authority of the Z protocol aside:
"You signed a confidentiality agreement when you secretly cooperated with the experiment back then,
Now the Z protocol is the liquidation authority, and your school seal is also on my account."
The first restored diploma was stamped and numbered: 0001.
When Wei Jia received the electronic certificate at the convenience store, her eyes turned red:
"Thank you... my mom left without seeing me graduate, I want her to know that I am not worthless."
One passes ten, ten passes a hundred.
Within a week, over 8,000 hidden graduates retrieved their identities through the on-chain DIP contract.
Some got back their college admission notices,
Some returned to previously rejected foreign companies,
Some pasted PDF screenshots on the wall at their doorstep, writing four words:
"I am back."
At dinner, Su Tingting cried while eating instant noodles:
"You did all this... to compensate for what your father couldn't do, right?"
Lin Feng said nothing, just gently placed a piece of paper in front of her:
"DIP System 10,000th Diploma Holder: Su Tingting's Mother"
Status: Restoration Completed; Permanently Stored On-Chain
Su Tingting stared blankly for several seconds, then smiled and said:
"Lin Feng, you are more reliable than any blockchain."
