what's open campus?
Open Campus is a decentralized protocol built on blockchain to empower educators, students, and communities by tokenizing educational content and enabling Web3-based learning experiences. Its core value proposition lies in democratizing access to education through on-chain credentials, payments, and revenue sharing, addressing the $5 trillion global education market. Key innovations include the EDU Chain, a Layer 3 rollup tailored for education dApps, supporting "Learn, Own, and Earn" models, and the $EDU token for governance, scholarships, and ecosystem incentives. The protocol facilitates use cases like student financing (EduFi), AI-powered teaching agents, and publisher NFTs, positioning it as a foundational layer for Web3 education. Notable partnerships involve TinyTap as an anchor launch partner and integrations with projects like Eddy for exclusive access, enhancing its role in the broader crypto education ecosystem.
