Disciplina
DISCIPLINA is a multifunctional blockchain for projects in educational and recruiting spheres. It provides transparency of activity, and creates the conditions for maintaining the confidentiality and the reliability of the information added by system participants.
These users will interact with each other on the DISCIPLINA platform through applications that contain educational, recruiting, and other interfaces.
DISCIPLINA doesn’t use any other blockchain, and is being developed for the demands of the educational and recruiting fields, taking into account the specificity of their activity.
Key capabilities of the DISCIPLINA blockchain
- The opportunity to store the data on personal achievements in digital form and to provide the access to the data through the unified platform, guaranteeing its permanence and credibility
- An effective search tool by candidates’ achievements and their fields of expertise
- The opportunity for educational institutions to monetise the data stored on student academic achievement
- The establishment of a career goal, where the system will develop an optimised educational path, aiming towards employment in a desired company
Why is developing unique blockchain architecture?
DISCIPLINA will store confidential information, such as the courses, students’ tasks, grades, and test results.
Therefore, public blockchain solutions, which store all of their transactions in open access — Ethereum or EOS, for example — are unacceptable. At the same time, private blockchain solutions, such as Hyperledger, do not provide enough verifiability of the data stored on them.
DISCIPLINA Technologies: «Web of Trust»
Using the Web of Trust, the users will be able to set the level of trust in each other themselves.
To protect the system from fictitious educational institutions, DISCIPLINA has an inbuilt Web of Trust, analogous to PGP, in its protocol. Each user will be able to choose the system participants they trust.
The level of trust in the other system members will be calculated individually for each user. Our network thus has no “verification centres”, which have an unlimited right to register or refuse the registration of an educational institution.
Our Web of Trust will allow recruiters to know which educational institutions are worth cooperating with and which are not. The value of the grade given to the student will depend on the rating of the educational institution at the time the grade was awarded.
Data Disclosure Algorithm
When it comes to the sale of the private data, it is important to guarantee the integrity of such deals. Our team has developed the protocol that guarantees the transmission of the valid data in return for a transaction in cryptocurrency. When an educational institution sends data that has not been verified in the public blockchain (for example, if student’s grade was updated) to the buyer, the buyer doesn’t lose his money, but it is the educational institution that is fined a fixed amount. At the same time, there will be no disclosure of the transmitted data to third parties, since only the anonymised invalid part of the data has to be disclosed.

Minting on DISCIPLINA
Unlike traditional PoW mining, the DISCIPLINA platform provides energy-efficient PoS minting. The users will get rewards for any productive activity devoted to transaction processing and supporting the network. The network rewards the users proportionally to the volume of DSCP tokens on the balance of each user.
The reward to minters will come both from a part of the commission earned on transactions, and in tokens from the technical pool. The size of the reward distributed from the technical pool will continuously be reduced in such a way that the pool itself will never run out.
