Kenya Brings 30M+ Academic Credentials On Chain with Avalanche

Kenya has become the latest country to adopt blockchain technology for verifying academic credentials. The Kenya National Examinations Council has partnered with Avalanche to bring over 30 million academic records onchain, making them forgery-resistant and verifiable.

This move gives Avalanche a significant public-sector verification role, supporting its enterprise and government-utility narrative. The deployment places credential checking on the network's infrastructure at a national scale.

The announcement confirms that the verification layer is available, but it does not provide information on how widely students, institutions, or employers are using it yet.
