UGM Launches Blockchain & AI Initiative for Academic Records

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has launched an innovative initiative using blockchain and AI to manage academic records. This move, described as a template for enterprise-level blockchain adoption, aims to enhance Indonesia's global competitiveness. The initiative includes the opening of an AI laboratory in collaboration with an unnamed institution, powered by Dreamspace to enable students to design, deploy, and monetize AI models onchain without extensive coding knowledge. It will also incorporate training in cross-chain interoperability using Hyperlane Nexus to connect external blockchains, facilitated by SXT tokens for course access and payments, creating a decentralized and traceable flow of value.

UGM's Vice Rector for Partnership, Dr. Danang Sri Hadmoko, emphasizes the importance of equipping graduates with verifiable skills for international competition. The initiative aims to verify course completions for over 60,000 students and introduce this AI laboratory for decentralized AI application development.

Space and Time's leadership highlights their role in providing secure infrastructure for verifiable onchain data using their Proof of SQL protocol. UGM will adopt Space and Time's SXT Chain as its official credential database, ensuring global access and verification of proof-of-course completions. Students will receive blockchain-based certificates that are immutable, transparent, and cryptographically verifiable, reducing credential fraud and simplifying hiring processes.

The AI laboratory, in collaboration with an unnamed institution, is set to revolutionize academic record management at UGM. By leveraging blockchain and AI, the initiative aims to equip graduates with verifiable skills, enhance global competitiveness, and streamline hiring processes. The use of SXT tokens, cross-chain interoperability, and secure infrastructure from Space and Time ensures a robust and decentralized system for academic records.
