End Degree Certificate Fraud Forever
The fake degree industry is worth $7B+ globally. Protect your institution's reputation and your graduates' credentials with blockchain-anchored verification.
Credential Fraud Is an Epidemic
Fake degrees undermine the value of legitimate education, put organisations at risk, and erode trust in academic institutions. Traditional verification methods -- phone calls, emails, manual checks -- are slow, unreliable, and impossible to scale. Employers need a way to verify credentials instantly.

How It Works
Institutions Issue
Universities and schools issue certificates through Sealayer. Each credential receives a unique cryptographic hash and scannable QR code.
Immutable Record
The credential hash is anchored to the Polygon blockchain with a timestamp. The record cannot be altered, deleted, or backdated -- even by the issuing institution.
Instant Verification
Employers, immigration offices, or other institutions verify credentials in seconds by scanning the QR code. No phone calls, no waiting, no fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
How prevalent is degree certificate fraud?
Studies estimate that up to 30% of CVs contain some form of education fraud. The fake degree industry is worth over $7 billion globally, with thousands of diploma mills operating online.
Can existing certificates be retrospectively verified?
Yes. Universities can bulk-upload their historical records to Sealayer. Once anchored, any certificate from that institution can be verified against the blockchain record.
How does a student or graduate share their verified credential?
Graduates receive a digital certificate with a unique verification link and QR code. They can share this link on their CV, LinkedIn profile, or directly with employers.
What happens if someone creates a fake certificate with a copied QR code?
The QR code links to the original document hash. If the fraudster changes any detail on the certificate (name, grade, date), the document hash will not match, and verification will fail.
Is there a cost for employers to verify credentials?
No. Verification is completely free for anyone. The cost is borne by the issuing institution, which benefits from reduced fraud and administrative burden.
