Inspiration

We see a need for a secure and tamper-proof way for storing and sharing important life documents eg. sharing diplomas or transcripts with potential employers, safe storage of legal or personal documents even in the face of incidents like fires.

What it does

Our project is a MVP showcasing decentralized document sharing leveraging the immutability and decentralization of blockchain technology. VeriCred serves as a digital vault where users can store and manage their important documents, and share verified documents with relevant parties. When users upload and verify a document on VeriCred, it is permanently etched onto the blockchain, providing an unalterable record that guarantees its authenticity.

How we built it

Frontend: Next.js/React.js, Tailwind CSS, dayjs
Backend: Solidity smart contracts, Ethereum blockchain (Sepolia testnet), Moralis Web3 APIs, MongoDB Atlas, IPFS
