STAMP: Blockchain and DAO-based Student Attendance Management Platform

Abstract

Optimizing administrative functions and enhancing the learning experience are ongoing priorities in education. Modernizing student attendance methods is critical for gauging student engagement and academic success. The traditional attendance systems face various challenges ranging from labor-intensive processes to security and privacy concerns. To address these challenges, we propose a blockchain and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)-based STudent Attendance Management Platform (STAMP). Leveraging blockchain and DAO principles, we establish a decentralized validation and governance mechanism, incentivizing accurate reporting and transferring attendance tracking responsibility from educators to students. Through Proof of Concept (PoC) implementation, we showcase the practical applicability of the proposed system.
