#digitalcredentials

A student earns a degree.

Not just on paper… but on a system so secure that no one can fake it.

No forged certificates.

No endless verification calls.

No bulky files and stamp-heavy paperwork.

Just one digital proof of learning - trusted forever.

That’s the future.

That’s BLOCKCHAIN in Education.

And this powerful concept has now been explored by Dr. Rahul Kumar Ghosh in his latest book chapter, unlocking how blockchain can reshape academic credibility and transparency worldwide.

Because at Brainware University, learning doesn’t just follow trends…we create the future.

The term “metaverse” gets thrown around a lot these days. Everyone seems to have a slightly different definition. But at its core, when we talk about immersive educational apps operating in the metaverse, we're really talking about digital spaces where learners interact with content, instructors, and each other—across borders, in real time, often with avatars and persistent learning records.

And where there's digital content, there’s digital value. Which brings us to a problem not enough people are talking about: How do you secure that value?

We’re not just dealing with casual game scores or throwaway credentials here. In these immersive educational environments, learners might earn certifications, complete simulated exams, or even create their own learning assets—like code, models, or designs. Who owns these? How are they stored? What stops them from being tampered with, duplicated, or stolen?

That’s where blockchain comes in.

At Volga Infosys Private Limited, based in India, we’ve been experimenting with integrating blockchain frameworks into the backend of our educational XR platforms. Not because it’s trendy, but because it solves real problems—especially around ownership, verification, and permanence.

Let me give you an example.

One of our university clients was piloting a VR-based program in which students collaborated on engineering designs within a shared virtual space. They could build, present, and store their projects in-world. The trouble came when it was time to evaluate those projects. Who had done what? When were changes made? How could a student prove their work was original?

We implemented a blockchain-based ledger that timestamped every edit, recorded ownership, and allowed third-party verification of project history. The data lived on a decentralized network—not in a single admin panel that could be wiped, altered, or lost.

And that’s the real value of blockchain in this context. It introduces trust without requiring a central authority. When credentials are issued, they're tied to a secure identity token. When content is created, its history is immutable. No more faking certificates. No more confusion over version control. It’s all there, recorded transparently.

There’s also something intriguing happening around micro-credentials. As more learners build modular skillsets—earning badges, completing short immersive courses, or participating in collaborative projects—those achievements need to be portable. Blockchain allows them to be verified across platforms, institutions, even borders. A learner in Mumbai could complete a VR cybersecurity simulation and have that certification recognized by a hiring manager in Berlin, instantly, with full authenticity.

Of course, there are challenges.

Integrating blockchain adds complexity. Not every educational platform is ready for that level of architecture. Energy consumption has been a concern in some blockchain models—though newer, greener consensus mechanisms are emerging. And let’s be honest, not every learner or teacher wants to think about cryptographic keys and wallets.

That’s why, at Volga Infosys, we’ve focused on making the backend smart and the frontend simple. Learners don’t need to understand how blockchain works. They just need to know their progress is secure, their records are trusted, and their assets are truly theirs.

And it’s this kind of thinking—combining immersive technology with secure, scalable infrastructure—that earned Volga Infosys Private Limited a nomination for the 2025 Go Global Awards. The event, hosted by the International Trade Council this November in London, is more than a recognition platform. It’s a gathering of businesses pushing boundaries and building the digital future across industries. We’re proud to be part of that conversation, especially as we navigate how XR and blockchain together can elevate learning and training on a global scale.

We’re not saying blockchain is the answer to every problem in edtech. But when it comes to verifying learning, protecting creative work, and ensuring portability of credentials in metaverse environments—it’s not optional anymore. It’s essential.

Education is changing. The lines between physical and virtual are blurring. If we want to build immersive platforms that people can trust, then the question isn’t if we use blockchain.

White labelling is when one company removes their brand name and allows other companies to rebrand its name legally. In simpler words, renaming the end-product of the brand with the requested purchaser.White labelling is practised across all industries for:

Being cost-effective Customer loyalty Providing Credibility Saving resources and time

People still prefer physical or paper certification, despite the incorporation of digital documentation, records, and processes. This could be because organisations are still utilising outdated methods, or because people are unable to access or get familiar with digital processes and documents. Regardless of which option is chosen, digitization is a requirement for the future. So, let’s talk about which is better: Is it better to have paper or digital certificates?

The year 2020 has brought in some major changes in the learning and education sector. WIth lockdown being imposed, students, learners and professionals all across the world had to resort to their homes and laptops to learn and educate themselves.

To enhance the learner’s experience in education, e-learning platforms were introduced to students and learners. Although e-learning has been around ever since the rise of the internet, recent digitalization and advancements have brought it to light.

As most of the learners were still new to e-learning educational institutes and Edtech companies needed to value and gain the trust of their learners. A blockchain-enabled digital credential can vouch for learners participation and engagement. Since digital credentials are secure and easy to verify and the certification adds value to advance in their career learners are willing to participate in e-learning platforms.
