Banjul

What we shipped

In April, we published a nine-month roadmap with one simple commitment: only tell you what's been delivered. We announced our first proof on the ground, outside Europe: a local training organization, attestations recorded on-chain and verifiable in real conditions, where aviation certification is a massive need and verification tools are still fragmented.

This week, that proof walked into the real world.

Together with MBAviation, our client and first partner (VIMPACI group), verifiable training certificates were issued to seven staff members of Gambia International Airlines, in Banjul, The Gambia. The modules: ALTEA Customer Management and Flight Management, two tools from the Amadeus suite used around an aircraft every day. The demonstration was held remotely. Each attestation is issued through MBA Clarity and anchored on Avalanche C-Chain, on production mainnet.

People we've never met, in a place most of us have never been, using something our team couldn't stop building for years.

Verified in a single scan

We keep coming back to one detail. When someone scans one of those certificates, in a few seconds they know whether it's authentic, still valid, who issued it, and whether it's been replaced.

We built it because we couldn't accept that something as serious as who's trained to work around an aircraft still came down to trusting a PDF. The certificate, issued through MBA Clarity (the platform that manages the document's full lifecycle), carries a QR code. Behind that QR: AeroCert. The document's fingerprint is anchored on Avalanche, and any authorized third party (an employer, an authority, a training organization) can verify it in a single scan.

What it changes for you

The progress isn't "it's on a blockchain." It's in what it concretely changes for whoever is verifying.

You verify it yourself, without trusting us. The verification page reads the certificate from the link itself (nothing is sent to a server), recomputes its fingerprint in your browser, then queries Avalanche directly. No account, no app, no AeroCert backend in the loop. The proof is a computation you can re-run yourself, and the registry stays publicly viewable on Snowtrace. Verification is open to everyone, at aerocert.co/verify.

You also verify who issued it. A scan doesn't only say "this document exists." It confirms that the issuer really is who they claim to be, by matching their signature against the organization's on-chain identity. Issued by MBAviation means issued by MBAviation.

Your data stays yours. No personal information is published in clear on the chain. The examples we put online even use demonstration identities, precisely so we never expose a real trainee.

A correction isn't erased, it's traced

A certificate is a living thing: a mistyped date of birth, a title to fix, information that changes. In the old world, you reprint it and hope the wrong version disappears. It never does.

AeroCert handles it differently. The issuer, and only the issuer, can revoke a certificate. From that moment, anyone scanning the old QR clearly sees "Certificate revoked," the date and time of revocation, and the reason: document replaced, a corrected version has been issued. The corrected version verifies normally.

And nothing is lost. Every certificate keeps the history of its versions: the revoked original stays viewable on its public page, marked "revoked, replaced," linked to the current version. Both versions keep their own on-chain proof. The correction itself becomes a permanent, public trace, not a secret. That's what a truth with a memory looks like.

A revoked certificate: verification shows "revoked," with the reason (document replaced). Demonstration data.

Product first

This milestone is a product proof, not a token event. We're keeping the order we set in April: product first, usage next, AVIA as a consequence. The token's role stays operational, anchored in the real usage of AeroCert. The more attestations flow through the platform, the more the network's needs grow. Not the other way around.

Thank you

We're proud tonight. A little tired. Mostly grateful: to our team, and above all to MBAviation, our partner from the very beginning, who trusted AeroCert before it was the safe, obvious thing to do.

This is the first one. It won't be the last.
