Accredible makes it easy to issue and manage digital credentials such as diplomas and professional certifications. Accredible uses Tierion to create verifiable credentials that are cryptographically sealed into the blockchain. Anyone viewing Accredible credentials can be absolutely certain a record has not been altered, providing an ironclad defense against fraud.

“We love Tierion. We needed to find a scalable solution to issue credentials via the blockchain, but as we explored our options, we grew concerned with the high technological and monetary costs. Tierion was the perfect solution. Everything from the initial implementation to the rollout was flawless.”- Alan Heppenstall, CTO Accredible
