Avalanche Surges 7% as Kenya Deploys Blockchain-Based Certificate Verification System

Avalanche's price rallied over 7% in the past 24 hours following Kenya's launch of a blockchain-based academic certificate verification platform on the Avalanche network.

The Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) has digitized and anchored more than 30 million historical academic records to the Avalanche network, with nearly one million students expected to receive blockchain-backed digital certificates starting from the 2025-2026 graduating classes.

This deployment marks one of the largest government-backed blockchain projects announced to date, and investors responded by pushing AVAX above $6.88 during Tuesday's session.
