Credify

Credify is a decentralized credential verification infrastructure that allows users to prove their employment, education, or certification history using verifiable credentials

Description

Credify – Decentralized Credential Issuance & Verification

Credify is a trust-based, onchain infrastructure for issuing and verifying credentials in hiring and reputation networks.


What We Do

  • Issue Verifiable Credentials:
    Authorized institutions like companies, colleges, and certifying bodies can issue onchain credentials for users (employment, degrees, certifications).

  • User-Driven Proof Generation:
    Users receive credentials and can generate zero-knowledge proofs to verify them—without revealing sensitive data unless opted in.

  • Credential Ownership:
    Users hold their verified credentials (employment, academic, certifications) permanently, and selectively prove them wherever needed.

  • Verification Without Middlemen:
    Third-party platforms (hiring platforms, social profiles, etc.) can check whether a claim made by a user is verified by Credify, ensuring authenticity.

  • Optional Public Profile:
    Users can choose to maintain a public-facing profile showing verified records — making their professional identity portable and trusted.


Why It Matters

  • 44% of resumes contain exaggerated or false information
    (Source: CareerBuilder Survey, 2020)

  • $600B is lost annually by U.S. businesses due to hiring mismatches
    (Source: SHRM and PwC reports)

  • Manual verification is time-consuming and non-scalable


Our Advantage

  • You claim it, your org confirms it.
    The cycle starts with the user claiming a credential, and the issuer (college, company, etc.) verifying and issuing it — not the other way around.

  • Flexibly opt-in model
    Users can choose what to show and when — with data ownership always staying with them.

  • No need for another hiring platform
    Credify integrates as a verification backbone, not a marketplace, respecting the flow of existing hiring ecosystems.
