Description
TL;DR: An EduBLOCK consensus design that chooses validators from activity, institutional credibility, and reputation rather than computing power or financial stake.
About This Document
Igor Ivanov and Svetlana Zhdanova address fraud and verification problems in digital educational credentials. Their proposed protocol uses fuzzy-set calculations to score users and institutions, dynamically elect delegates, and require approval from more than two-thirds of elected validators before accepting a block. The design combines peer-to-peer communication, cryptographic controls, open voting, and human-centered reputation inputs.
Why Bitcoin People May Care
This is an educational blockchain, not a Bitcoin consensus proposal. The contrast is the useful part: replacing proof of work with reputation avoids mining cost but makes social trust and institutional credibility explicit protocol inputs. Readers can judge whether those inputs solve the intended credential problem or merely move manipulation into the reputation layer.
