Open Campus is a decentralised educational protocol that leverages blockchain technology to create a fairer and more inclusive educational ecosystem. It aims to empower students with access to diverse educational content and offers educators new opportunities to earn revenue and gain recognition for their contributions.
Open Campus operates on a Layer 2 blockchain called EDU Chain, which uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It incorporates smart contracts to automate transactions, define content ownership, and distribute rewards. The protocol facilitates a Learn-to-Earn model and utilises NFTs to represent educational content, allowing creators to maintain control and receive compensation.
Open Campus can be used for tokenizing academic credentials, creating and distributing educational content, governance and decentralised decision-making, content purchase and monetisation, and decentralised identity verification. Notable partnerships support these applications, including collaborations with educational platforms and institutions.
Open Campus was launched with contributions from a founding team experienced in education and technology. Key milestones include partnerships with TinyTap, listing on Binance Launchpad, and developing Publisher NFTs. The project is evolving to decentralise educational content creation and distribution, allowing broader market participation through its governance and tokenomics.
