Platform Capabilities

Everything your institution needs
to go fully digital

From first credential to NAAC audit — one platform, one integration, every standard covered.

Tamper-Evident Architecture

Credentials anchored on a permissionless blockchain are immutable and cryptographically verifiable by any party, anywhere — no intermediary required.

Cryptographic Proof

Near-Instant Verification

AI-accelerated parsing validates issuer signatures and returns a tamper-evident result in under 3 seconds. No registrar wait. No manual review. Free for everyone.

Under 3 Seconds

Bulk Credential Issuance

Issue thousands of degrees, diplomas, and micro-credentials in a single batch operation — directly from your existing student records system via API or CSV upload.

Convocation-Scale

Decentralised Storage

Credential metadata stored on IPFS — a permissionless, content-addressed network ensuring permanent, censorship-resistant preservation for the lifetime of the credential.

IPFS Backed

AI Fraud Detection

Machine learning models continuously analyse verification patterns and access signals — flagging fabricated credentials and anomalous activity in real time before they reach hiring pipelines.

Real-time AI

NAAC-Ready Reporting

Issuance and verification analytics map directly to NAAC IIQA and AQAR formats — criteria 1.4, 2.6, 4.4, 5.3, 6.2, and 7.1 covered with exportable evidence dashboards.

Accreditation Ready
The Process

Simple by design.

Three stages from institutional onboarding to globally verifiable credentials — with full compliance automation at each step.

1

Institution Onboarding

Your institution completes identity verification and compliance review — establishing a trusted on-chain DID identity. NAD account setup and DigiLocker onboarding included.

2

Credential Issuance

Academic records are minted as W3C Verifiable Credentials and anchored on a permissionless blockchain. Metadata pinned to IPFS. NAD, ABC, and DigiLocker updated automatically.

3

Independent Verification

Employers, institutions, or any third party can verify credentials instantly via the free public verifier — no login, no fee, no intermediary, no phone call to your registrar.

Built for Bharat

Every standard Indian universities
are mandated to adopt

Eight pillars — one integration. Gradify handles all of them out of the box, so your registrar and IQAC teams don't have to.

NEP 2020

Privacy by Design

No personal data on the public chain. Selective disclosure (BBS+). Holder consent recorded.

Frequently asked

Questions registrars and CTOs ask us

Short answers to the questions we get most often during institutional evaluations. For implementation specifics, see the dedicated guides linked from each answer.

How is a blockchain-based degree verified?+
Anyone can paste a credential ID into the free public verifier at gradifytech.com/verifier. The platform queries the blockchain directly, validates the issuer's cryptographic signature, and returns a verified result in under 10 seconds — no login, no fees.
Does Gradify support W3C VCs, DID, and OpenBadges 3.0?+
Yes. Every credential is a W3C VC 2.0 with Ed25519 linked-data proofs and a DID issuer. Micro-credentials issue as OpenBadges 3.0, which is itself a W3C VC profile. Full standards mapping available in our technical documentation.
How does this fit with NEP 2020, ABC, NAD, and DigiLocker?+
Each issued credential is simultaneously pushed to NAD, posted as a credit transaction in ABC, and made available via DigiLocker — from a single issuance transaction. No separate integrations required for your registrar team.
Is verification really free for everyone?+
Yes. Verification at gradifytech.com/verifier is free, unlimited, and does not require an account. Pricing applies only to institutional issuance — see the pricing page for engagement tiers.
Can credentials be forged or altered after issuance?+
No. Once a credential is signed and anchored on the blockchain, any modification produces a different cryptographic hash and verification fails immediately — this is mathematically guaranteed, not policy-dependent.
What does NAAC peer-review evidence look like?+
Issuance and verification analytics export directly to NAAC IIQA and AQAR formats, with criterion-mapped metrics for 1.4, 2.6, 4.4, 5.3, 6.2, and 7.1.
