Metacampus

Blockchain-based transcript management and verification system built on Algorand.

Metacampus is an EasyA x Algorand hackathon project for managing and verifying student academic transcripts through Algorand smart contracts, Pera Wallet authentication, and a Next.js portal for students, administrators, and external institutions.

My Role

As part of the hackathon team, I present Metacampus as a collaborative blockchain project. The visible GitHub history for this repo does not show implementation commits authored by TylersHub, so I frame my role around team participation, product understanding, and project presentation rather than claiming specific code ownership.

  • Participated in the team project around decentralized transcript verification and student-owned academic records
  • Helped present the product workflows for students, college administrators, and external verification users
  • Communicated the Algorand-based verification concept, including wallet-connected access and cryptographic transcript hashes
  • Explained the system architecture, technical stack, and education-focused use case in portfolio materials
  • Framed the project around transcript portability, fraud prevention, and institutional verification efficiency
Problem

Transcript transfer and verification can be slow, expensive, fragmented, and dependent on manual institutional processes. Students often lack direct ownership over their records, while schools and employers need reliable ways to detect fake or altered credentials.

Solution

Metacampus uses Algorand smart contracts and cryptographic transcript hashes to create immutable academic records, wallet-based authentication, student-controlled sharing, and instant verification for institutions and employers.

Impact

The project demonstrates how blockchain infrastructure can support education technology by reducing transcript friction, improving trust in academic credentials, and giving students more control over how their records are shared.

Key Features
  • Student-controlled transcript sharing through unique blockchain-backed identifiers
  • College administrator workflow for onboarding students and managing transcript records
  • External institution verification portal for instantly checking credential authenticity
  • Algorand smart contract architecture for requests, approvals, issuance, and verification
  • Privacy-preserving design that keeps sensitive student data off-chain while storing hashes and proofs on-chain
