Expectations of increased potential have led to extensive exploration of the use of this technology in various application platforms. Today, blockchain is considered to be a technological breakthrough that touches all areas of social life, and is expected to lead to very significant changes, especially in a few application areas. In the study; A certification diploma verification system has been developed using the decentralized, open-source blockchain platform. Thanks to the integration of blockchain technology with the document verification system, the centrality in the control mechanism can be eliminated and user initiative can be eliminated. In addition, the task of verifying documents in existing systems is a time-consuming process. Treatment can take up to several months, depending on the provider&#039;s response. Thanks to the blockchain, employers or institutions that want to verify documents will be able to perform their transactions without spending time and money.</p></abstract>
