Abstract	With the increasing number of graduates each year, there is a growing need for verified and easily accessible academic certificates. This paper proposes a solution that addresses both verification and accessibility using blockchain technology, with validation as the top priority. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that ensures transparency and immutability across a decentralized network. It stores data in blocks, which are cryptographically linked to one another, forming a secure and tamper-proof chain. Due to its decentralized nature, there is no need for a central authority to manage or store the data. Blockchain adheres to the CIA triad—Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—while also supporting Authorization, making it a suitable candidate for secure certificate storage and verification. One major advantage of this system is the reduced burden on students to keep physical copies of their certificates, which can be easily lost or damaged. Moreover, in today’s world, creating counterfeit certificates is relatively easy. Blockchain offers a robust solution to this problem due to its immutable and verifiable structure. In this proposed system, when a certificate is issued, a unique hash is generated for it. Along with this hash, a QR (Quick Response) code is also created, linking directly to the certificate stored on the blockchain. By scanning the QR code, anyone can instantly verify the authenticity of the certificate via a secure website. This method is significantly faster and more reliable than traditional manual verification techniques. Blockchain technology presents an ideal solution for sectors that require low-cost, trustworthy, and efficient verification of important documents. Each block in the blockchain is validated through consensus by multiple participants in the network. Once validated, altering a block would require modifying all previous linked blocks and gaining control over more than 50% of the network's nodes—an extremely difficult and nearly impossible task. This ensures the integrity and security of the stored certificates.
