UGM Pioneers Blockchain & AI for Academic Records, Empowering 60K Students for Web3 Careers
Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) in Indonesia has pioneered a novel academic records initiative, harnessing blockchain and AI technologies. The program, a first of its kind in the country, aims to verify course completions for over 60,000 students and transition them into practical Web3, DeFi, and AI-driven industries.
UGM has adopted Space and Time's SXT Chain as its official credential database. This move enables the university to issue blockchain-based certificates that are immutable, transparent, and cryptographically verifiable. Graduates can instantly validate their credentials globally without intermediaries.
The initiative also introduces a financial layer using SXT tokens. Students can access courses and make payments using these tokens. Furthermore, they can develop and deploy AI models onchain, monetizing their work in real time through SXT tokens. Raum und Zeit, the company behind SXT Chain, is providing financial services for the use of SXT tokens within the academic environment.
An AI Lab will be established to prepare students for careers merging decentralized technologies with intelligent applications. The program aims to transition students from theoretical learning to practical deployment in Web3, DeFi, and AI-driven industries.
UGM's onchain academic records initiative leverages Space and Time's zero-knowledge (ZK) data infrastructure. By adopting blockchain and AI technologies, the university aims to enhance the credibility of student credentials, facilitate global verification, and prepare students for careers in emerging tech industries.
