Chaincerts is a cutting-edge platform that revolutionizes the way certifications are issued, verified, and showcased.
Our platform issues certifications as secure, non-transferable, and verifiable Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) on the Stellar network. These SBTs, managed through Soroban smart contracts, serve as unique identity tokens that showcase an individual or entity's characteristics, features, traits, and accomplishments in a visually appealing format.
With its unique combination of decentralization, innovative visualization, and simple verification, Chaincerts provides unparalleled security, reliability, and transparency to the certificate management process.
Problem
Certification systems are outdated and unreliable. Traditional methods such as paper certificates, digital images, and PDFs are susceptible to falsification and manipulation, making it challenging to verify their authenticity. This is a significant issue for individuals and organizations who need to provide verifiable certifications to others.
Solution
Chaincerts offers a modern solution to the outdated and unreliable certification system, using blockchain technology to eliminate the limitations of traditional diplomas, PDFs, and cumbersome verification processes. Chaincerts is a transparent, tamper-proof, and visually appealing solution that aims to revolutionize the world of certifications.
How it uses Stellar and/or Soroban?
Chaincerts leverages the strengths of the Stellar blockchain and Soroban's smart contracts. Stellar will ensure the security, verifiability, decentralization, revocability, uniqueness, non-transferability, and singularity of certificates. By incorporating Soroban's smart contracts, we will enhance the transparency and credibility of certificate management operations, providing unparalleled security and reliability.
Our goal is to introduce the innovative concept of Soulbound Tokens within the context of Stellar and Soroban, giving new meaning to certificates.
Competitive advantage

Chaincerts offers unique features such as decentralization, non-transferability, and enhanced transparency, which can address the growing concerns around certificate fraud and identity theft.
