The school credit bank system refers to a system that collects, stores and manages students' academic performance and credits. It allows students to transfer credits between different educational institutions and training institutions, providing convenience for lifelong learning and career development. In China, the concept of school credit banks is also gradually being promoted and practiced, especially in the fields of higher education and vocational education. Various regions and educational institutions at all levels are exploring credit bank models suitable for their regions and institutions. However, the traditional school credit bank system has problems with data security, reliability, and authenticity. Blockchain technology has the characteristics of high reliability, traceability, non-tampering, and decentralization. Therefore, we propose to build a school credit bank system based on blockchain technology. Experiments and facts prove that our blockchain-based credit banking system is more transparent, efficient and secure.
