A name-masked NFT for Web3 certificates
Each anchored certificate also carries an ERC-721 record on Base. The image masks the recipient's name, and the token is viewable in OpenSea.

A blockchain certificate is a proof record, not a collectible. But a token view makes the record easier to find and share.
Anchored certificates now carry a name-masked ERC-721 record on Base.
What is on-chain
The token mirrors the anchored record. Open it in OpenSea to confirm it exists, then cross-check the matching transaction in BaseScan.
What is not
The recipient's full name. The token image replaces it with initials, so personal data is not written to a permanent public ledger. The NFT is a view of the anchor, not the trust mechanism. The signature and the anchor are still what make the certificate verifiable.
