Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered. Here's what you need to know about implementing Web3 in education.
A pilot program or Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for issuing NFT credentials can often be launched in as little as 12-16 weeks. A full-scale integration with a complex SIS and multiple departments can take 6-9 months. The timeline depends heavily on the scope, the complexity of your existing systems, and your specific requirements.
Absolutely. We offer flexible engagement models to fit different budgets. Furthermore, the ROI is significant. By reducing administrative overhead, eliminating fraud, and enhancing your brand, a Web3 solution often pays for itself. We work with you to build a clear business case that aligns with your financial realities, from startup to enterprise.
No. This is a critical part of our design philosophy. We abstract away the complexity. For the end-user, the experience is as simple as using any modern web application. They will have a secure digital wallet, but the interface is intuitive and requires no prior knowledge of Web3 concepts. We handle the technical heavy lifting so you can focus on the educational benefits.
We are blockchain-agnostic and recommend the best platform for the use case. For many educational applications, we recommend Layer 2 solutions like Polygon or energy-efficient Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains. These platforms have a negligible environmental impact, often comparable to standard cloud servers, and offer very low transaction costs, making them ideal for issuing credentials at scale.
We specialize in system integration. Our solutions are designed to communicate with your existing LMS (like Canvas, Moodle, etc.) and SIS via secure APIs. For example, when a student's grade is finalized in your LMS, it can trigger a smart contract to automatically issue their course completion certificate to their digital wallet. The integration is seamless and maintains your existing workflows.
