PYRAX gives institutions tamper-proof, instantly-verifiable diplomas and transcripts, shielded student records private to the learner, and on-chain escrow for grants and scholarships that pay against verified milestones.

How PYRAX transforms it
Concrete network elements mapped to this business.
eth_getProof tamper-proof credentials
Diplomas, transcripts, and micro-credentials are anchored in verifiable state so an employer or another institution proves authenticity instantly against chain state - no forgery, no registrar call.
Self-sovereign identity + ZK selective disclosure
Learners hold their own credentials and prove a specific achievement - a degree, a passing grade, a certification - through selective disclosure without exposing their full academic record.
Shielded-by-default privacy with viewing keys
Student records, especially for minors, stay shielded and private to the learner and guardians, while accreditors and auditors access exactly what oversight requires via viewing keys.
On-chain escrow for grants + scholarships
Scholarship, grant, and student-aid funds are escrowed and released against verified enrollment and progress milestones, ensuring accountable, direct disbursement.
