Certificate Verification System Using BlockChain (#blockchain #metamask #ethereum )

Description

🔗 Blockchain Certificate Verification System | Ethereum + Solidity + React | Full Project Explanation In this video, I built a Blockchain Based Certificate Verification System from scratch using Ethereum blockchain. This project solves a real world problem — fake certificates. Using blockchain technology, certificates are stored as tamper-proof SHA-256 hashes on a smart contract that nobody can edit or delete. Ever. 🛠️ Tech Stack Used: Solidity — Smart Contract Hardhat — Local Ethereum Blockchain ethers.js — Blockchain Connection React.js — Frontend Website MetaMask — Crypto Wallet 📌 What you will learn: What is blockchain and why it's useful for certificates How to write a Solidity smart contract How to deploy a contract using Hardhat How to connect MetaMask to a local blockchain How to verify certificates by ID and by file upload How SHA-256 hashing works for document verification ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 — Introduction and problem statement 2:00 — Technical implementation and code walkthrough 8:00 — Running the project and seeing live output 14:00 — MetaMask connection and admin features 18:00 — Outro 💻 How to run this project: Install Node.js and VS Code Run npm install Run npx hardhat node Run npm run deploy:local Run cd frontend && npm install && npm start Open http://localhost:3000 🔐 How it works: University uploads certificate → app calculates SHA-256 hash → hash stored permanently on Ethereum blockchain Employer uploads same certificate → app calculates same hash → checks blockchain → instantly verified ✅ If certificate is fake → hash won't match → NOT FOUND ❌ 📚 This project is perfect for: College final year projects Blockchain beginners Web3 developers learning Solidity Anyone interested in document verification systems ⚠️ Note: This project runs on a local Hardhat blockchain for demonstration purposes. No real ETH is used. All certificates and transactions are completely fake and only exist on your local computer.
