On July 5, 2025, the Innovation and Startup Center - Youth Union of the pace and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT) officially launched the pilot version of the P-Coin Green Credit System. This is an applied research project conducted by a team of young lecturers from the Academy's Innovation and Startup Center.
This is the first university to experiment with blockchain technology towards vulnerability and encouraging a green lifestyle on campus.
P-Coin is designed as an internal credit score system, where active activities such as cycling, picking up trash, planting trees or donating voluntary blood... are recorded and converted into P-Coin reward points.
These activities are encouraged to be widely implemented in all 9 training institutions of the Academy, with the expectation of nearly 30,000 students, staff and lecturers of the Academy participating from the 2025 - 2026 school year.
Users can interact through applications in the ecosystem to connect the digital world and real-life behaviors. However, P-Coin is only valid internally, does not have the function of converting it into real money, does not allow buying and selling or speculation, and fully complies with Vietnamese law.
Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Anh - Deputy Director of the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications Technology - shared that the P-Coin Green Credit System is not only a simple digital technology application but also contains the aspiration to build a dynamic, civilized school community, a green, sustainable learning environment, rich in community awareness.
"Through P-Coin, beautiful actions, positive habits such as cycling, picking up trash, planting trees, donating blood to humanitarian people... will be recognized by this friendly and humane "digital currency".
This is how young lecturers of the Academy of Posts and Telecommunications Technology bring technology closer to real life, turning each good action into a part of the digital culture of students" - Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Quang Anh said.
In the first phase of testing, the P-Coin Green tin system integrated with the Green Edu Bike App to encourage the use of bicycles when traveling between the Academy's training facilities, helping to reduce pollution, improve health, and contribute to spreading a green lifestyle in the student community.
With a roadmap from today's experiment to the future digital ecosystem, the P-Coin Ecosystem will continue to expand in scale and function, aiming to build an internal digital financial playground, integrating digital assets, operating credits, and a modern academic interaction platform for the PTIT student community.
The project is not only a management tool or encouragement for positive behavior, but also an important experiment in the comprehensive digital transformation process of higher education.
