Driving Innovation in Education with Blockchain
Since late 2024, Dr. Vasylieva has been working closely with the Raptoreum team on the development of blockchain-based solutions aimed at addressing long-standing challenges in the education sector. The collaboration now enters a new phase with the launch of a pilot initiative focused on academic transparency, verifiability, and cross-institutional collaboration.
The pilot targets five critical pillars of education innovation:
- Research & IP Protection: Enabling tamper-proof timestamps and decentralized peer review mechanisms for academic work.
- Verifiable Academic Credentials: Issuing fraud-resistant degrees and transcripts via blockchain.
- Decentralized Learning Records: Allowing students to own and control their academic achievements and learning paths.
- Cross-Institutional Credit Transfer: Facilitating the seamless transfer and recognition of academic credits globally.
- Transparent Tuition & Scholarships: Leveraging smart contracts to automate tuition payments and introduce pay-as-you-learn financing models.
Raptoreum is now extending invitations to universities and research institutions to join this pilot, aimed at creating a secure, student-centered educational future powered by decentralized technology.
