Could TrustNote be used to verify student transcripts and test scores?

5 days ago by parktutoring

I work in education tech, building systems for a tutoring and college-prep company in California. One recurring problem: colleges and scholarship programs still rely on PDFs and emailed score reports that are easy to fake and slow to verify.

A few questions for the community:

  1. Could TrustNote's DAG ledger store a hash of a transcript or SAT/ACT score report, so a college can verify it wasn't altered?
  2. Would a smart contract be practical for issuing tamper-proof course completion certificates?
  3. How would you handle student privacy, since the actual records shouldn't be public on-chain?

Has anyone built something like this, or is there a reason it wouldn't work?
