Issuing Blockchain-based Degree for the First Time in Korea
2020.02. Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) issued a blockchain-based degree to all 828 graduates of undergraduate, master’s and doctorate degrees in 2020.

Kim Jong-hyeop, CEO of Icon Loop, said, “I believe that this is the opportunity to introduce a reliable, transparent, and fair verification system to the education industry through the issuance of the POSTECH blockchain degree.” and he added “In the future, we intend to use a blockchain technology to settle a completely new ecosystem not only in the education industry but also in the job and job market”
