What is a micro-credential?

A micro-credential is a digital badge that certifies a specific competency — a completed course, a demonstrated skill, an internal certification. Unlike a paper diploma, it can be verified online by anyone in seconds and travels with the participant in their wallet and on their LinkedIn profile.

What is blockchain anchoring for?

Every badge is recorded on Ethereum and Polygon: no one can alter it, forge it, or issue it in your organization's name without your digital signature. The employer who verifies it is not trusting a PDF — they are trusting an immutable public record.

What is Open Badges 3.0?

Open Badges 3.0 is the international digital badge standard from 1EdTech. It guarantees that your credentials are interoperable: they can be read on any compatible platform, shared on LinkedIn, and added to Apple and Google wallets.

How is a micro-credential verified?

With a QR scan or one click on the public link: the verification page shows who issued it, to whom, when, and for which competency — no phone calls, no document requests. More than 2 million verifications have already been performed across 28 countries.

The paper diploma is no longer enough

A printed certificate — or a PDF — cannot be verified without phone calls, can be forged in minutes, and ends up lost in a drawer. A micro-credential is the opposite: a digital badge that certifies a specific competency, travels with the person in their wallet, and lets any employer confirm its authenticity in seconds with a single scan.

Open standard, immutable record

Every badge is issued under Open Badges 3.0 — the international standard from 1EdTech — and anchored on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. That means total interoperability (LinkedIn, wallets, any compatible platform) and a guarantee no PDF can offer: no one can alter it or issue it without your digital signature.
