A Decentralized Academic and Reputation Platform
Blockchain-based protocol for a complete decentralized academic and certification system with an integrated courses marketplace
Sapiens Project idea dates back to May 2016, when I decided to use my passion for Blockchain and Innovative technologies in order to build a platform to help schools, universities and companies, to share their resources and services with a decentralized, cost effective and secure solution.
My first idea was to use and build a prototype by using Smart Contracts functionality of Ethereum but I quickly faced issues relative to fees and scalability. Ethereum is, in fact, a giant Singleton and a Complete Turing-Machine, but it is not designed to scale or support high computational processes.
Later, I started looking at Lisk (and Crypti code-base) with the intent to figure out if this particular technology could fit with the objective of my mission for this project. I strongly believe Sidechain technology is the perfect solution to solve scalability.
Lisk attempts to deliver a SDK in order to make possible this ambitious project.
My mission is to deliver a base prototype of Sapiens Decentralized Platform backed by Lisk Sidechain and promote it in universities and schools or even private companies in order to spread these new technologies and raise awareness of this new decentralization era. This platform will be able to store in a immutable way every aspect of the career: exams results, achievements, courses, publications, certificates and bachelors.
I see a future where you just need a link to Sapiens Decentralized Platform on your CV. Through this link you are able to verify all the academic history and certificates that candidate owns.
