Kenya Anchors 15M Academic Records to Avalanche C-Chain, Verification Hits Seconds

Kenya National Examination Council anchors 15M records to Avalanche C-Chain, reducing verification from weeks to seconds and covering 1M 2025 candidates.

Woofun AI reports that the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) has partnered with a local technology provider to anchor national academic certification data to the Avalanche C-Chain. This initiative establishes a national-level electronic certification system that has already on-chained over 15 million historical academic records, with the earliest dating back to 1989.

The platform has issued nearly 1 million certificates for 2025 KCSE candidates. The system is projected to eventually cover approximately 35 million verifiable records across primary, secondary, higher diploma, and government teacher certification levels. Verification time has been compressed from weeks or months to seconds, replacing manual review processes to prevent forgery and fraud from fake verification websites.
