Abstract: The metaverse-based education era poses challenges for verifying academic credentials for educational institutions, organizations, and individuals. Blockchain technology offers a practical solution to the traditional methods of verifying academic credentials, which are periodically tiresome and vulnerable to fraudulent activities. This article presents a system that uses smart contracts enabled by blockchain technology to oversee the validity of certificates and control user access. Every certificate is safeguarded using cryptographic measures, assigned a timestamp, and connected to distinct identifiers, guaranteeing integrity and immutability. Furthermore, user access control is implemented using attribute-based identity management, which employs sophisticated techniques for data management and traceability. A prototype was implemented and assessed to validate the proposed scheme's viability. The findings of the assessment illustrated that this solution eradicates intermediaries and mitigates the possibility of credential fraud.
