A blockchain records transactions in a verifiable and permanent manner, so it is very appropriate to store certificate fingerprints or other educational items. Blockchain exposes certificate forgery and promotes the history of learning. The Blockchain-Based Academic Certificate Credentialing System could be a feasible solution in this research for issuing, validating, and sharing certificates in a digital format using blockchain technology. Therefore, the aim of this research paper is to propose a theoretical model and develop a Blockchain-Based Academic Certificate Credentialing System that can support counterfeit protection as well as secure access and management of academic certificates according to the needs of learners, education institutions, and employers using Blockchain technology. Using the characteristics of blockchain technology offer including hash, public& private keys, cryptography, digital signature, peer-to-peer networks and smart contracts. Conclude into an academic certificate credentialing system that meets all the aims and objectives, offer a faster, more straightforward and more secure way to issue the academic certificate and aiding the process of validation and verification.
