Paper Title: Token-based e-Learning System Harnessing Hyperledger Besu
Conference Name: KICS Summer Conference 2024
Abstract: Traditional online education systems prioritize digital certification above establishing a clear and robust evaluation procedure that is universally accepted. This study introduces a novel e-learning system that utilizes blockchain technology, specifically Hyperledger Besu, to enhance and secure educational procedures. This paper develops and implements a system that employs tokenization within an academic context, aiming to revolutionize the certification and validation of learning achievements. Here NFTs have been used to reflect the lifelong learning achievements of scholars. The methodology involves utilizing smart contracts to represent academic progress with learning tokens, ensuring transparency and immutability in educational transactions. Performance benchmarks conducted with Hyperledger Caliper reveal the system's efficiency and areas for optimization. This study not only demonstrates the practical applications of blockchain in education but also aligns with modern digital solutions, providing a scalable and secure framework for academic credentialing and assessment.
