Avalanche Blockchain Secures Kenya's Academic Credentials

Kenya has taken a major step in combating academic certificate fraud by launching a blockchain-based system for verifying credentials. The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and Avalanche have partnered to place more than 30 million records on the Avalanche network.

The platform, now live, allows employers, universities, and other institutions to verify academic credentials onchain, making it harder to tamper with records.

Avalanche's deployment marks one of the blockchain's largest public-sector deployments, extending its use beyond decentralized finance and digital assets into government record verification.
