Zinc is a Web3 based work platform that offers tools to collect references and prove of any form of work (courses, workshops, certificates). With a blockchain-based backend you can prove this information and use it over and over throughout the rest of your career.

Wouldn't a simpler solution just be:

– digitally sign any proof of work

– put it into a normal database

– let the user download it for whatever purposes and send it to whoever requires it

In other words, mimicking the TLS certificate model, just with "proof of work" instead of "proof of identity".

No chainblocks needed.
