Description
ZKCertify leverages ZK proofs to eliminate manual credential checks by revealing only the validity of a credential—never the underlying data. This approach enhances privacy, security, and operational efficiency.
The Problem It Solves
- Manual Verification: No need to chase transcripts or certificates.
- Privacy: Only a cryptographic proof is shared, keeping sensitive data hidden.
- Authenticity: On-chain verification prevents tampering and forgery.
- Recruitment Efficiency: Quickly confirms if candidates meet academic and test score thresholds.
How People Can Use It
