Truscholar is attempting to solve the problem of the traditional talent ecosystem being linear and broken. This may involve addressing issues such as the difficulty of verifying traditional credentials, the inflexibility and slow adaptability of traditional forms of education, and the barriers to entry at various platforms created by the reliance on traditional credentials.

Truscholar does this by offering a platform for issuing, verifying, and sharing digital credentials. These credentials can be used to certify skills and knowledge in a variety of contexts, including education, employment, and professional development. The use of digital credentials allows individuals to demonstrate their skills in a more flexible and portable way and makes it easier for organizations to verify and recognize those skills. Truscholar stands out through its use of blockchain technology. It leverages Hyperledger Indy, an open-source framework, to create a private permissioned network. This unique approach ensures the security and transparency of academic credentials, facilitating self-sovereign identity and fraud prevention.
