DecentralEdu

The system in question serves as a decentralized prototype that bears a resemblance to the renowned online learning platform. Within this platform, users are provided with the opportunity to enroll in a diverse array of educational courses, catering to a broad spectrum of interests and subject matter. These courses are meticulously curated to facilitate comprehensive and structured learning experiences.

One of the hallmark features of this decentralized prototype is its certification mechanism. Upon the successful completion of a course, users are conferred with certificates, signifying their achievement and mastery of the subject matter. These certificates serve as tangible proof of the individual's dedication, commitment, and proficiency in the respective course of study, enhancing their credibility and competence in their chosen field or area of interest.

1. Blockchain Technology: The core of this decentralized platform relies on blockchain technology, which serves as the foundational layer for secure and transparent transactions, enrollment records, and certificate issuance. We leveraged a blockchain framework such as Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain for this purpose. The blockchain ensures data integrity, immutability, and trust among users.

2. Smart Contracts: Smart contracts, written in Solidity for Ethereum or a compatible language for other blockchain platforms, are utilized to handle course enrollment, progress tracking, and certificate issuance. These contracts automatically execute predefined actions when certain conditions are met, ensuring the integrity of the learning process.

3. Decentralized Storage: Course content, including videos, documents, and supplementary materials, is stored on decentralized storage platforms like IPFS (InterPlanetary File System). This ensures content availability and resilience, as well as reducing reliance on centralized servers.

4. Identity and Authentication: User authentication is managed through decentralized identity solutions, such as blockchain-based authentication tokens or protocols like OAuth. This enhances security and privacy by eliminating the need for centralized identity providers.
