South Korean blockchain-focused ecosystem ICONLOOP (ICX) has announced the release of ‘broof,’ a blockchain-based certificate issuance service.
According to the announcement, ‘broof’ allows certificate issuance to occur when the data of the list provided by the issuing authority matches the requestor’s input data. The service is based on the ICON public blockchain network and supports certificate issuance, storage, and prevention of falsification.
Once the issuing authority(company or institution) sets the approved recipient list, issuance period, and the URL, the recipient can access the URL and enter his/her name and his/her password and obtain the certificate without going through other lengthy procedures, notes the official announcement.
The Head of ICONLOOP, Jonghyup Kimstated, says ICONLOOP has been cooperating with the government and other various institutions "in a myriad of ways in order to implement simple blockchain services in everyday life."
"We expect ‘broof’ will create a safer and more reliable certification system in areas such as administration, education, and finance. At the same time, it will also reduce the required social costs involved," he added.
Earlier this month, the ICON Foundation signed a strategic partnership with ‘MixMarvel,’ a blockchain-based global game publishing company, to support ICON’s blockchain ecosystem expansion.
