Native integration with LMS, CRM, and academic systems for automatic issuance of digital credentials
In many institutions, issuing digital credentials is still a slow, manual process full of unnecessary steps: exporting student lists from the LMS, validating them, uploading them to another platform, and correcting errors over and over.
With POK – Proof of Knowledge, this is a thing of the past.
Our native integrations allow credential issuance to be automatic, secure, and free of duplicated work, connecting directly to your LMS (Learning Management System), CRM, or academic system.
How POK works: integrations and automation of digital credentials
- Ready-to-use integrations: Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, Google Classroom, and other academic systems. Connect your educational platforms quickly and effortlessly.
- Open APIs: connect POK with any custom or in-house academic system, ensuring flexibility and scalability.
- Real-time synchronization: when a student completes a course, their digital credential or microcredential is automatically generated and sent, without manual intervention.
- Custom workflow automation: set rules like “issue credential only if the student passes with more than 80%” or “include a personalized instructor message”.
- Web2 and NFT compatibility: credentials and microcredentials maintain the same design and functionality in both the free Web2 version and the blockchain premium version.

POK differentiates itself in five key areas:

POK is architected specifically to ensure credential permanence independent of platform survival:

- NFT credentials are registered on public blockchains (Polygon and LacNet) — they remain verifiable through any blockchain explorer even if POK ceases to operate
- Credentials are built on open standards (Open Badges 3.0, W3C Verifiable Credentials) — ensuring portability and verifiability across any compatible system
- In the unlikely event of blockchain deprecation, POK can migrate credentials to another network while maintaining full traceability and metadata
