Verse: The Universal Education Ledger

Verse is a blockchain-based platform designed to serve as a universal education ledger for individuals of all ages, from students to professionals, freelancers, and lifelong learners. At its core, Verse aggregates diverse learning experiences and achievements into a secure, trust-verified, and universally accessible digital CV.

In today’s world, education and skill acquisition occur far beyond the boundaries of traditional schools or universities. Public education, homeschooling, online courses, extracurricular activities, athletics, professional certifications, self-guided learning, and even corporate training contribute to a person’s holistic educational journey. Unfortunately, there is no universal system to document, validate, or showcase these diverse experiences—especially for individuals with unconventional educational pathways.

Verse solves this problem by creating a trust-based education ledger that is:

Comprehensive: Verse integrates all types of learning experiences, whether formal or informal, verified by trusted attesters (e.g., educators, mentors, peers, or even AI-driven devices). Each entry contributes to a cohesive, blockchain-secured record of personal growth and accomplishments.

Trust-Verified: Verse leverages blockchain technology to ensure every learning experience, certificate, or skill attestation is tamper-proof. It employs trust-weighted scoring, where the credibility of each attestation is based on the trust score of the attester. This enables greater reliability and transparency.

Frictionless: Contributions to the ledger can be made directly by trusted providers (e.g., schools, sports organizations, training providers), by the individual, or through AI-powered wearables for real-time attestations. This flexibility lowers barriers for adoption while ensuring inclusivity.

Future-Focused: Verse doesn’t just record history—it provides pathways for the future. Using aggregated data, AI suggests skill pathways and learning opportunities tailored to the individual’s goals. This transforms Verse from a static ledger into a dynamic tool for growth and opportunity discovery.

How Verse Works User Identity: Users create a secure account (or wallet) to access their education ledger. This wallet can be tied to tools like Worldcoin for proof of humanity, ensuring unique and verified accounts. Dynamic Wallet will also allow users to onboard with email-first convenience.

Education and Experience Attestations: Credits are added to the ledger in the form of verifiable credentials. These credits can represent academic achievements, extracurricular activities, professional certifications, or micro-skills learned in online environments. AI-powered attestations can fill gaps where traditional providers do not participate.

Trust Scores and AI Pathways: Each entry in the ledger is weighted based on the trust score of its source. AI uses the ledger data to suggest future learning pathways or career opportunities, creating a personalized growth roadmap.

Blockchain Infrastructure: Verse will leverage Polygon for its blockchain infrastructure due to its scalability, low transaction fees, and robust ecosystem support. The decentralized nature of blockchain ensures that each ledger entry is secure, tamper-proof, and universally accessible.
