Education isn’t too expensive, credentials are.  The way we accredit skills and knowledge remains an analog oligopoly. As a result a majority of human capital is hidden and much of what is visible is ignored. Our skills and abilities develop constantly and dynamically. The way we measure skills and abilities should be equally dynamic. Analog credentiling methods made sense in the analog age. They remain relevent in the digital age because fundemental computer science problems remain unsolved. Where digital cash required solving the double spend problem, digital knowledge accredation requires solving the ‘double face’ problem. How can you prove you performed a set of actions, that prove knowledge and ability, in a way that can trusted at scale? Part sybil resistance and part proof of unique human problem, a ‘proof of actor’ problem needds to be solved. Current credentiling institutions can be thought of as analog proof-of-actor systems. Newtrust is seeking to solve the proof-of-actor problem, to enable digital knowledge accredation and a new era of dynamic assessment.   

Education isn’t too expensive, credentials are. The way we accredit knowledge remains an analog oligopoly, consequently most human capital is hidden or ignored. Where our knowledge and skills develop continously and dynamically, our methods to accredit them remain static and finite.  Accreditation methods conceived in the analog age remain relevant because they still do something software can’t: prove who performed a specific set of actions in a way that can be trusted at scale. Creating a digital alternative of this analog system requires solving some fundemental problems in computer science. Newtrust exists to solve them.  Creating a digital accreditation system will mean a future where attaining credentials is as easy as attaining skills and knowledge. Where the cost of tution and textbooks is no longer considered the cost of education. Where time and motivation are the only barriers to entry for the middle class.

Where encryption, then blockchains brought money into the digital age,  a similar breakthrough is needed if knowledge accredation is to transcend the analog age.
