ME News reports that on August 3 (UTC+8), according to the Avalanche blog, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC), through a local technology provider, has deployed a national digital credential system on the Avalanche C-Chain, anchoring over 15 million academic records on-chain, dating back to 1989. Nearly 1 million students’ 2025 KCSE certificates are now exclusively available through the digital credential platform. The system is expected to eventually cover approximately 35 million verifiable records, processing millions of new certificates annually, spanning multiple education levels including primary, secondary (KCPE, KCSE), advanced diploma programs, and government teacher certification. KNEC CEO David Njengere stated that candidates no longer need to rely solely on paper certificates but can securely access, download, and verify their KCSE certificates online. The project utilizes the same LegitDoc platform architecture used to digitize 700,000 land records in Dantewada, Chhattisgarh, India, and previously employed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to digitize 42 million vehicle titles and by Bergen County, New Jersey, to tokenize 370,000 property deeds.
