South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University will hold an online graduation ceremony on Wednesday and issue NFT certificates to three students who won the intramural competition. Sungkyunkwan University said that the NFT certificate can be used as an official graduation certificate at any time, without worrying about the loss of the original or forged copies.
It is reported that in 1996, South Korean conglomerate Samsung joined the university foundation as its main partner and sponsor, continuing the partnership in the 1960s and 1970s. Additionally, some universities in South Korea, such as Soongsil University and Chung-Ang University, have recently been partnering with local blockchain developers to incorporate NFT and Metaverse technologies into their graduation services.
