<p>The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a professional association boasting a membership of over 75,000 in India, has chosen the Avalanche blockchain as the primary settlement layer for issuing tamper-evident certificates.</p><h2 id="header-0">Integrating Avalanche blockchain</h2><p>India holds the second-largest IEEE membership base globally outside the United States, making this move a significant development in secure credentialing.</p><p>According to a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ieee-blockchain-skill-certificates-avalanche-india" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">report</a> by Cointelegraph on Wednesday, Avalanche’s C-Chain will serve as the key settlement layer for IEEE’s certificate issuance due to its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The decision aims to provide an ecosystem that meets the requirements for tamper-proof, instant and secure verification processes for all trainees and users receiving IEEE credentials.</p><h2 id="header-1">Zupple Labs collaboration</h2><p>The blockchain certificates will be issued through LegitDoc, a blockchain-based credential lifecycle management system developed by Zupple Labs. Neil Martis, Co-Founder of Zupple, noted that the Indian public sector has shown increased willingness to implement full-fledged blockchain projects over the past 12 months, moving beyond pilot initiatives.</p><p>This is the latest project in recent weeks that has seen Zupple Labs play a key role in enabling the real-world use of blockchain. Through a collaboration with the Indian Web3 startup in October, the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/indias-hpcl-embraces-blockchain-tech-to-streamline-purchase-orders-3f1668c1cb40" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">streamlined</a> its purchase order process, issuing tamper-proof digital purchase orders via LegitDoc.</p><h2 id="header-2">Avalanche expands into India</h2><p>Devika Mittal, Head of Avalanche’s India arm, emphasized the significance of Avalanche’s EVM compatibility in simplifying the deployment of widely used applications, including credential registries and identity management. She pointed out that reputable institutions like SK Planet and JP Morgan Onyx prefer Avalanche as their go-to blockchain.</p><p>Mittal has been a <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/avalanche-blockchain-developer-expands-into-india-04e699deaad9" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">key hire</a> for Avalanche blockchain developer Ava Labs recently as part of its efforts to target significant expansion within India. Earlier this year, the company <a href="https://medium.com/&#64;coinness.gl/alibaba-cloud-partners-with-avalanche-to-deploy-metaverses-76acb9a3be7e" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">collaborated</a> with China’s Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing subsidiary of e-commerce behemoth Alibaba Group, assisting with the building of a launchpad that will enable the deployment of metaverses.</p><p>The partnership between IEEE and Zupple Labs is poised to bring about the issuance of numerous tamper-proof engineering credentials in India. This collaboration underscores the growing acceptance of blockchain in education credentialing, setting a powerful precedent for broader participation in the Web3 landscape.</p><p>In an interview, Martis expressed the flexibility of their approach, stating:</p><p>“We would be experimenting with new platforms as additional parallel settlement layers as suitable new tech emerges.”</p><p>This reflects an openness to exploring evolving blockchain technologies while maintaining a commitment to ensuring the immutability, longevity and security of the solutions.</p><p>The IEEE-Zupple Labs collaboration aligns with the trend of blockchain integration in educational and professional spheres, offering a glimpse into the future of secure and efficient credentialing systems. As the second-largest membership base outside the United States, India plays a pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of blockchain adoption within professional associations like IEEE.</p>
