Through the technology of blockchain, problems such as issuing, streamlining, and carrying out academic accreditations can be solved in a complete, practical, and efficient way. The application of this technology in education and by universities would generate academic accreditations where the student is the owner of his academic credential and that this is verifiable, unique, unfalsifiable, portable, downloadable, and issued in a short time.
