Our journey began back in 2020 when we launched the first NFT collection at Opensea. Since then we have gone through ups and downs:
Created 3 Binance Smart Chain tokens - CTF, DAOS, SAFENFT
Launched NFT collections - NFTL, Daopolis, ReFi Calendar
Passed 4 accelerators
Attracted investments from Flori Ventures, Big Brains Holdings and Allegory
During this time, we have made several pivots from the NFT Fantasy League to the regenerative NFT marketplace. 95% of startups don't live for more than a year. Someone has already stopped believing in us, but we, like a phoenix, have been reborn again and again, and for more than 2 years we have been moving forward to create a truly worthwhile product.
Finally, we have found something that we believe very strongly and see great prospects. And we want it to be a Web3 EdTech platform for learning and teaching.
Let's take a closer look at its features and differences from other projects
dLMS (Decentralized Learning Management System) To date, all learning platforms are built around Web2 infrastructure - content is stored on centralized servers from Amazon or Google, students often get limited access to purchased content, certificates and diplomas are stored on local platforms, it is difficult for experts to attract investments for the future launch of the course.
We want to completely change the approach to teaching and learning with the help of Web3 technologies and create a decentralized learning management system
Quadratic funding for experts The concept proposed by Vitalik Buterin back in 2019 gained popularity thanks to the Gitcoin platform. They are more focused on projects, initiatives, startups, and we decided to apply this mechanic to the education market. Give teachers, experts, bloggers the opportunity to test the demand, raise money, get the first students even BEFORE creating a course!
Course co-investment Square funding makes it possible not only to collect donations, but also to attract investors to create a course. Imagine if you could invest and earn % from expert courses that today earn millions of dollars from them. With the help of Web2, it is very difficult to organize such a process - contracts, lawyers, negotiations, meetings. If something goes wrong, courts. The process can take months or years. With the help of a smart contract and our platform, the whole process takes 5 minutes and happens automatically. And the investor's share can always be sold on the secondary market
Learn-to-earn The learning process can not only bring knowledge, but also money. Here are some examples of how you can do this:
Students who complete the course can help new students (as curators) and earn money
The expert gives tasks, surveys on the material covered. Whoever succeeds first will receive a cash reward or valuable NFT
The community can act as content validators on the platform. Experts valuable to the community will be promoted, and the scam will be blocked. The community itself will participate in the formation of an ecosystem of courses and experts
EduDAOs
Communities will play a key role in the development of our project. DAOs can be formed around an expert, a course, or a whole area (programming, design, etc.).
EDU3 token
Use cases:
For example, a student buys the course "Secrets of working with DAO" for native tokens and gets access to lessons and assignments
Experts can "stake" the token and, depending on the amount, reduce the % of the commission on the platform.
While studying, the student receives NFT achievements / diplomas / certificates, which are minted for an internal token.
Experts, in the future, can create their own DAO (around courses, directions, initiatives), where payment is also planned with an internal token.
Now the functionality for the first round of quadratic funding is almost ready. We plan to launch in June 2023. We plan to launch the token in Q4 2023 - Q1 2024
