Abstract: Traditional paper certificates and electronic certificates have difficulties in preservation and management, not to mention other problems concerning inconvenient verification, poor reliability, anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering. This paper proposes a scheme designed to build a decentralized certificate system that is based on blockchain technology and smart contract, in which a set of blockchain certificate system aiming at providing blockchain certificate services for college students’ innovation and entrepreneur ship competition is developed. In this system, certain functions of the certificate about management, issuing, verification and revocation are realized via smart contract. Signer information, certificate template and certificate information are stored in a smart contract that adopts structured data, thereby realizing more convenient callings in querying and validating certificate.
