Blockchain finisher certificates, issued with broof

ICONLOOP issued the finisher certificates for the 26th Jeju International Tourism Marathon Festival, held on June 19, with broof, its blockchain certificate issuance service.

broof, the service used to issue these certificates, is ICONLOOP's blockchain certificate issuance service, supporting the issuance and permanent storage of certificates that cannot be forged or altered. Institutions can issue certificates without building a separate database system, which raises security, while recipients can look up the various blockchain certificates held in broof anytime, anywhere, and protect their personal data by choosing for themselves which certificate details to disclose.

Now in its 26th year, the Jeju International Tourism Marathon Festival is Jeju's first citizens' marathon, run with everyday citizen runners since 1995. It is hosted by Jeju Self-Governing Province, organized by the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province Tourism Association and sanctioned by the K.A.A.F (Korea Association of Athletics Federations). As the race that brings the marathon back after the COVID-19 shutdown, it drew roughly 3,500 runners from on and off the island, and broof finisher certificates were issued to the roughly 2,000 participants who completed their course — an added layer of meaning. This was the first time blockchain finisher certificates had been issued to marathon participants anywhere in Jeju; the organizers wanted to raise the transparency of the certification while giving participants a memorable experience.

Issuing blockchain finisher certificates at the Jeju International Tourism Marathon Festival carries real significance as the first application of broof in the sports market. ICONLOOP will keep working to create a safer, more trustworthy certification system through broof and to bring it to every corner of society.

broof is already in use not only at major public institutions such as the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Korean National Police Agency, but across a range of fields that need certificate issuance, including leading educational institutions, conferences and the arts. Certificates issued with broof can also be managed and stored through Zzeung, ICONLOOP's DID identity verification service.
