Inspiration

Our inspiration is to offer people the opportunity to use the Celo Blockchain and Wallets as a security tool to register and validate signatures upon documents hashes from a user friendly interface. Some of the problems we aim to solve: -The lack of systems for cryptographic signatures validations globally. -The lack of evidence that certain data exists at a particular point in time (proof of existence). -The lack of integrity mechanisms to protect data tampering. In the other hand on economic terms the digital signature market has a CAGR of 21,5% with USA as largest market cap and Europe as the fastest in growing and Docusign as the biggest market player, so we wanted to offer a differential factor by using Blockchain and decentralization as a security enhancer.

What it does

We aim to help people harness the power of cryptography algorithms like hashes and private key signatures to protect data integrity and traceability. Our solution offer users a friendly experience , and a incredible range of possible use cases, from notary for ownership certificates, legal agreements, academic certificates, supply chain traceability and much more.

How we built it

We used solidity smart contracts that can be deployed on any EVM Blockchain like Celo, and connected to a front end interface. We integrated our solution with Web3 Wallets in order to guarantee the final user the full decentralization and sovereignty over their signatures and data, and make possible for other users to validate the signature certificates and document validations easily.

Challenges we ran into

Identifying the elemental functionalities to help people apply Blockchain encryption tools for their own use cases on a simple and effective way. We integrated smart contracts with user interfaces making a Dapp available trough any web3 explorer, offering autonomy and decentralization on information security.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We bought together four years of experience working on Dapp development with different industrial sector and identifies that these solution could be a foundation for solving a transversal problem of any industry, an information security and traceability management.

What we learned

We learned the importance of building products with a core problem like information security to offer the most wide range of possibilities and use cases on hands of final users.

What's next for Certi.io

We want to help people discover new use cases and integrate Certi.io to other systems as a security layer. We aim to bring new users education and example use cases to help people identify how Certi.io can transform their processes and business.
