Sapiens Platform aims to be an open-source blockchain-based protocol for handling every aspect of academic career and professional certificates systems. The idea is to use the latest and innovative blockchain technologies in order to build the
and integrate it into the actual academic ecosystem and become, in the future, the new standard for professionals.
Digital academic credentials enable accessibility, shareability, verifiability and traceability of achievements and professional certifications. By using the blockchain and strong cryptography, it is now possible to create a certification infrastructure that puts users in control of the full record of their achievements and accomplishments. Users will be able to build their own career by collecting badges and certificates in a form that they can share.
SapiensProject.io also aims to spread blockchain technologies inside schools and universities with an incentive-based approach. Every contribution to Sapiens Decentralized Platform will be rewarded.
Let’s shape the future of the academic system together.
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.
Now, I started to study and look at PolkaDot Ecosystem with his Substrate Framework and the idea to build Parachain or a Parathread is engaging.
My mission is to deliver a base prototype of Sapiens Decentralized Platform 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.
