This is a great question. So as per our ITO funding allocation, a lot of the funding we receive from the ITO will be delegated towards marketing the project to ensure we build a successful brand and can approach academic institutions to propose to them the ecosystem. We're also working with our advisory board, and partners in regards to getting in touch with academic institutions to onboard them into the ecosystem.

Evidently however, not all institutions will want to join the ecosystem, and this is where we also have the ability for students/credential holders to upload their academic credentials onto the platform. Students/credential holders will have the opportunity to upload their own copies of their academic credentials, however, they will be listed as "Not TrustED Verified" due to the nature of these documents being uploaded by the student themselves. However, for a fee in TED Tokens, the student/credential holders can request TrustED to reach out to their corresponding academic institution and verify the credentials for them. This will also be done through an AI mechanism we are building to streamline the process, and reduce human involvement.

Essentially, to put things into simpler terms the platform will work in two ways:

1. Onboarding Academic Institutions to join the ecosystem.
2. Onboarding Students/Credential Holders to join the ecosystem and upload their own credentials.

I agree. If the project can realize itself, it can be very useful for people.

There are so many different ways how to use blockchain. I think that it is very important to check the diploma when person get a job.

We understand that. The main thing is that universities of all countries of the world also agree to work with an electronic database and provide an opportunity to check their diplomas.

I also believe schools, universities, even students and other parties will be interested in a quick data check, each for their own purposes.

A curious project with another good intention to improve the life of mankind.
As I understood from the description and discussion, the project will lead to the payment of verification, and not to the purchase of a diploma.

The project may become socially useful and interesting for society, I hope in the future it will save us from fake certificates and diplomas.

You correctly understood the idea of the project. The team will not be engaged in the purchase and sale of university diplomas. But the team will assist in the verification of diplomas.

Right. You do not want or you can not study, so go and sweep the yards. Such people do not deserve job placement on fake diplomas.

good argument, because not everything can be bought including diplomas, but now of course there are people who do such things very badly, not caring about the knowledge they want to get but only a piece of paper.
