Edix — Formulate Hypothesis
Core Hypothesis
“If we automatically mint academic credentials as Verifiable Credentials on Cardano, students will own portable, tamper-proof records of their education.”
The Technical Theory
Layer 1: High-Performance Engine
- FastAPI — Async speed for handling many users
- Google Gemini AI — Automates grading and NLP input
- Celery + Redis — Background job processing
Layer 2: Document Engine
- Generates physical paper reports (parents still expect them)
- Bridges digital and physical worlds
Layer 3: Invisible Trust Layer
- PyCardano & Blockfrost — Mints VCs in background
- Twilio — SMS notifications to parents without smartphones
The Automatic Trigger
When a teacher clicks “Finalize Grade”:
- Grade saved to database
- VC automatically generated
- School’s DID signs credential
- Credential sent to student’s wallet
Testable Prediction
“A graduate with on-chain credentials will get verified 10x faster than one with paper transcripts.”
