POK – Proof of Knowledge, the world’s most innovative verifiable digital credentials platform, announces the formation of a U.S.-based executive team to lead its full-scale expansion across the country. POK is a digital credentials software designed to help universities, companies, and governments issue secure, verifiable, and portable credentials.

This launch comes after a year and a half of successful operations in the U.S., during which POK worked directly with universities and organizations without a dedicated local team, yet managed to establish itself as a leader in digital credentialing innovation.

Eighteen Months of Results and Market Leadership

Over the past 18 months, POK has partnered with more than 100 leading universities in the United States. Many institutions transitioned from traditional credentialing systems to POK, attracted by its unique combination of NFT blockchain technology, Open Badge 3.0 & European Learning Model compliance, and flexible white-label capabilities.

POK is a digital credentials software that not only issues credentials but also provides actionable insights into their impact, enabling institutions to track outcomes and employability.

“We had been using another platform for years, but POK’s technology and strategic proposal were simply impossible to ignore. Our credentials now carry more weight, and our graduates have tools we never imagined before.” — Vice President for Academic Innovation, University in California

The success of POK is measured not only by the number of institutions adopting it but also by the digital transformation they experience by implementing credentials that are more secure, metadata-rich, and globally interoperable.

From Emerging Player to Recognized Leader

POK has been rapidly adopted across Ivy League systems, state university systems, and continuing education centers. Today, it is recognized by academic leaders as the most innovative digital credentials software in the U.S.

“POK’s interoperability, combined with its NFT-based architecture, allows us to guarantee the authenticity and traceability of our certifications. This is a game-changer for higher education.” — Director of Academic Services, University in New York

“Switching to POK has not only improved our verification processes but also enhanced our institutional reputation for innovation.” — Provost for Digital Learning, University in Texas

“Our students love the fact that their achievements are now on the blockchain as NFTs they can verify and share anywhere, anytime.” — Dean of Student Success, University in Florida

“POK brought us a solution that is both technologically advanced and extremely easy to use for faculty and administrators.” — Chief Information Officer, University in Illinois

A Dedicated U.S. Executive Team

Following this initial success, POK has established a high-impact executive team in the United States to accelerate growth and solidify its leadership:

  • John Reynolds, CEO POK USA: Former VP of Global Development at a major e-learning platform, expert in international scaling and strategic partnerships.
  • Emily Carter, CTO: Senior engineer in blockchain and digital identity, with experience in security and data projects at Big Tech companies.
  • David Martinez, Chief Academic Partnerships Officer: Over 20 years leading academic initiatives at top-tier universities and state systems.
  • Laura Simmons, Head of Government & Enterprise: Executive with a track record of implementing tech solutions for government agencies and Fortune 500 companies.

POK’s Competitive Edge: NFTs + Open Standards

POK is the only global platform that integrates:

  • NFT blockchain credentials for uniqueness, tamper-proof verification, and public traceability
  • Full Open Badge 3.0 & European Learning Model compliance for international interoperability
  • White-label and digital wallet options to customize institutional and user experiences

POK is a digital credentials software that not only secures credential issuance but also provides a strategic advantage for institutional branding and innovation.

“POK didn’t just solve our digital verification needs; it gave us a marketing and branding tool that reinforces our position as an innovation leader.” — Dean of Educational Technology, University in Massachusetts

POK’s Vision for the U.S. Market

With operations across the Americas, Europe, and Asia — and now a dedicated U.S. executive team — POK aims to become the new standard for verifiable digital credentials for universities, corporations, and governments.

The goal is to expand to over 500 U.S. universities within the next three years, establishing POK as the undisputed leader in digital credentialing.
