Overview

Core Product: VerityCV is a blockchain-powered mobile app that lets users create and verify tamper-evident records of work experience. Each credential is cryptographically timestamped and stored immutably on Algorand, while Supabase handles secure metadata. Individuals fully own their verified professional identity and can instantly share proof of past experience.
Product: Mobile App

  • Ownership & Transparency: All credentials are stored immutably on Algorand and publicly checkable—no hidden data, no reliance on third parties

Inspiration

With rampant resume fraud and slow verification processes, we envisioned a new standard: self-owned, instantly verifiable credentials. VerityCV was built to make that future real.

What it does

Core Product: VerityCV lets professionals create cryptographically signed, immutable records of experience stored on Algorand. Each record includes a unique verification ID that anyone can check through the mobile app in seconds.

Key Features:

  • Blockchain-anchored CV entries (Algorand)
  • Supabase storage for metadata and private details
  • Credentials are stored immutably on Algorand
  • Verification ID system: paste ID in-app to instantly confirm validity
  • Real-time feedback on credential creation

Features

  • Immutable work records stored on Algorand
  • Metadata via Supabase
  • Unique Verification ID (VCV-XXXX) for every credential
  • In-app credential lookup by ID
  • All the blockchain tech looking like a common, easy to understand app.
  • Encrypted, tamper-proof record management

How We Built It

VerityCV runs on a hybrid design—secure off-chain storage via Supabase, and immutable credential proofs stored directly on Algorand.

  • Mobile Frontend: React Native with Expo SDK 52
  • Blockchain Layer: Algorand—CV entries
  • Backend & DB: Supabase (PostgreSQL, RLS, file storage)
  • Auth: Supabase Auth with secure sessions
  • Security: End-to-end encryption, Row-Level Security on all user data

Challenges We Ran Into

  • Clipboard API crash on iOS: Debugging and platform-specific patching required
  • Understanding Algorand infrastructure: Required deep dive into Nodely/Algorand, undestanding their architecture
  • Hiding blockchain complexity: Reframed all on-chain actions in simple human terms ("Verify", "Timestamped", "Proof ID") to keep UX accessible

Accomplishments We're Proud Of

  • Fully working mobile app with blockchain verification flow
  • Sub-second credential confirmation with Algorand
  • Our first mobile app using blockchain
  • User-friendly credential creation and validation process
  • Clean UI that masks technical complexity

What We Learned

  • How to make blockchain feel invisible to the user
  • The strengths and limits of Algorand’s transaction system
  • That credential ownership transforms how users perceive professional trust
  • How to use blockchain architecture to solve real world problems

What's Next

  • Move from testnet to production one.
  • Launch to iOS and Android stores
  • Add support for educational credentials and certifications
  • Build employer interface for easy lookup of multiple candidates
  • Partner with global hiring and credential platforms

Challenges We Apply & Why

  • Blockchain Challenge: All credentials stored and verified via Algorand transaction IDs
  • Startup Challenge: Scalable infrastructure using Supabase backend and RLS
