The CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium (C4) establishes cryptocurrency standards that help ensure a balance of openness & privacy, security & usability, and trust & decentralization. The cryptocurrency space is exploding with new startups. These companies and those already established in the space are constantly seeking talent with a strong understanding of cryptocurrencies. Prior to C4 there was no way for these hiring managers and placement firms to validate Bitcoin knowledge in their candidates like they can with other knowledge such as networking, security, and accounting. C4 provides certifications so that professionals can assert their knowledge in cryptocurrencies the same way they are able to assert other skills. The CryptoCurrency Certification Consortium is a non-profit organization that provides certifications to professionals who perform cryptocurrency-related services. Recipients of each respective certificate will have demonstrated comprehensive knowledge in various disciplines ranging from basic cryptography to low-level cryptocurrency development.
