**X Launches Blockchain Verification for Academic Credentials on Profiles**

(How X Is Using Blockchain to Verify Academic Credentials on Profiles)

X announced a new feature today. This feature uses blockchain technology. It lets users confirm their academic credentials directly on their X profiles. The goal is to fight fake degrees and diplomas online.

People often add their education history to their X profile. Until now, proving these claims was hard. Fake credentials are a big problem. They hurt trust online. They also make things unfair for people with real qualifications.

X’s new system tackles this. It uses blockchain. Blockchain creates secure, unchangeable records. Schools and universities can now issue digital versions of diplomas or certificates. These digital credentials get stored on a blockchain. They link securely to a user’s X profile.

When someone adds a school or degree to their X profile, they can choose to verify it. The system checks the blockchain. It looks for the official digital record from the school. If it finds a match, a verification badge appears on the profile. This badge shows the credential is real. The school confirmed it.

This helps everyone. Users gain trust. They can prove their education easily. Employers and others checking profiles get confidence. They know the information is correct. Schools benefit too. They control the verification process. They protect their reputation. Fraud becomes much harder.

The system is rolling out now. X is working with educational institutions worldwide. More schools are joining to offer verified credentials. This builds a more trusted network. It makes online professional information more reliable.
