IIT Goa Portal for Blockchain Based Digital Identity Card, First UI/UX Focus

Aug 2022Mar 2023 · 7 mos · On-site

  • I and Sandeep worked under the guidance of Sharad Sir (IIT Goa) and the Brainchain Team to develop a blockchain-based , fully decentralized solution inspired by DeSoc(Powered by Ethereum Founder - Vitalik Buterin)—a decentralized society model—for minting Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) integrated with a public digital identity card system for IIT Goa. The solution streamlined ID issuance through an admin portal and provided a student portal with wallet-based access to IDs. Public data was stored on-chain, while private data was securely stored on IPFS via hash mapping, ensuring high security through a public-private data architecture. Over 500 SBTs were successfully minted, resulting in a scalable and user-friendly solution.
