Open Campus (EDU)

• Open Campus Protocol is a community-led web3 education protocol that is looking to tokenize the world’s educational content by enabling teachers and creators to monetize the content that they created.

• The mission is to ensure teachers’ contribution to the society is recognised and provide a global, alternative education system for learners worldwide.

• TinyTap is the first adopter of the Open Campus Protocol, and it’s the Top 10 grossing kids mobile application on the App Store and Google Play with 9 million+ families, 100k+ content creators and have partnered with renowned brands including Sesame Street, Oxford University Press and many others.

• TinyTap is one of the leaders in user-generated content for the US$5 trillion education market, and it is known for its no-code authoring platform that has produced over 250k interactive lessons to date.

• EDU is the native utility token of the Open Campus Protocol (EDU) ecosystem and is used for the following functions:

  • Governance: EDU token holders can submit and vote on the protocol’s DAO proposals (e.g. directing the use of tokens allocated to the ecosystem).

  • Payment: EDU can be used as a means of payment for product and services offered by companies who adopted the protocol (e.g. TinyTap, where a % of proceeds will be distributed to the protocol).

  • On-chain revenue sharing: Contributors (including content creators, publishers, platforms) receive their share of the protocol’s revenue in EDU.

  • User acquisition: EDU can be used to incentivize and onboard web2 users to web3 as they receive a discount for accessing offerings provided by the protocol’s ecosystem partners (e.g. TinyTap).

  • Content ownership: Users can purchase co-publishing rights via the Publisher NFTs with EDU.

• Open Campus Protocol is rolling out a scalable infrastructure to onboard a diverse ecosystem of adopters (schools, edtechs and other educational providers) to serve as a gateway to potentially bring billions of educators and learners worldwide to web3:

  • On-ramp: Tokens will be introduced to users of Open Campus adopters (e.g. TinyTap) via various means such as wallets, tokens as a means of payment, and discounts/incentives to drive adoption.

  • Publisher NFTs: Educational content can be tokenized into NFTs. Revenue generated from the content will be stored in a smart contract, co-owners will be able to withdraw based on their contribution (e.g. teachers for creating the content, publishers for marketing and localization).

  • Marketplace: The publisher NFTs issued by Open Campus adopters (e.g. TinyTap) can be bought and sold in EDU.

  • Smart Donations: Enables EDU grants and scholarships to be released based on measurable on-chain events.

• The project has raised 6MM USD from one round of private token sale in 2022, at 6% of the EDU total token supply, with a FDV at ~100mm USD.

• As at April 21st, 2023, the total supply of EDU is 1,000,000,000 and the circulating supply upon listing will be 145,000,000 (14.5% of the total token supply).

1. What is Open Campus (EDU) Protocol?

• Open Campus utilizes a new protocol allowing communities to create, own, and promote content they want to see in the world and enables educators to earn revenue and gain recognition for their contributions.

• Communities can utilize blockchain technology to fund, co-own and learn from educational content that fits their needs.

• Creators launch their content on Open Campus by offering promotional rights through Publisher NFTs, where co-publishers can earn revenue based on their contributions.

• Philanthropists can support educational causes directly and track their donation on-chain through Smart Donations.
