Definition ∞ On-chain certification refers to the process of recording verifiable proofs or attestations directly onto a blockchain ledger. This method leverages the immutability and transparency of blockchain to provide an unalterable record of credentials, ownership, or data integrity. Once certified on-chain, the information is publicly auditable and resistant to censorship or alteration. It offers a robust and tamper-proof means of verification.
Context ∞ The utility of on-chain certification is increasingly recognized across various sectors, from supply chain verification to academic credentials and digital identity. News often highlights new applications where blockchain’s properties enhance trust and reduce fraud. Discussions continue regarding the legal recognition and interoperability of such digital certifications across different jurisdictions.
