It puts decisions about learning back into the hands of educators and their students by fostering a collaborative environment, enabling teachers to create materials that appeal to the exact needs of students. Additionally, Open Campus recognizes the achievements of teachers and content creators who help students seek new knowledge, opening new revenue streams for effective educators around the world.\n\nOC-X, an accelerator by Open Campus, is dedicated to transforming the landscape of education and the future of work by bridging innovative companies into the Web3 space. The equity-free, 6-week cohort-based program offers a dynamic blend of debt and grant financing options tailored to propel founders forward. OC-X has backed over 50 trailblazing companies, impacting more than 20 million learners worldwide.\n\nEDU Chain, an L3 Rollup Chain on the Arbitrum Orbit Stack, is designed to onboard real-world educational economies to the blockchain and create an ecosystem of decentralized applications (Dapps) to establish an innovative “Learn Own Earn” model for education. EDU Chain, the first decentralized blockchain for education built by Open Campus, helps to democratize education and empower all participants — learners, educators, edtech innovators — to contribute to and benefit from the future of education on-chain.\n\nWith the global market size for blockchain technology in education projected to grow from a mere $120 million today to [reach $3 billion by 2030](https://www.businessresearchinsights.com/market-reports/blockchain-in-education-market-102379), growing by over 40% year-on-year, there is a clear signal of a confluence of [macro trends](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10UlrkXNFodikh8RhTS8Uyxr3x_T1zu7DMTlerc8alYE/edit#heading=h.2tdquehmibj3) brewing under the surface. EDU Chain is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this sea change in the education sector, with Open Campus’ network of 60+ institutional partners and education companies reaching over 20M+ learners and over 200k learners actively using Open Campus ID.\n\nAnyone can support the EDU Chain network by operating a node, which allows them to receive network rewards and participate in governance.","onboardingCompleted":false,"registerFormUrl":null,"preRegisterTime":0,"publicContactHackerHandle":"opencampus_xyz","hackersCount":4672,"winnerAnnounced":true,"teamCount":0,"title":"EDU Chain Hackathon: Semester 1","uname":"educhain","imageUrl":"https://cdn.dorahacks.io/static/files/1905e6e4a7d68da513507a4452ab484d.png","originUrl":null,"startTime":1721001600,"endTime":1725062579,"timezone":"-60","city":null,"visible":true,"approvalStatus":6,"state":0,"voteUrl":null,"voteMechanism":null,"bonusPrice":200000,"bonusMechanism":null,"followersCount":0,"ecosystem":"Arbitrum Orbit","applyGuide":null,"weight":0,"participationForm":"Virtual","field":"Blockchain,Education,Arbitrum,DeFi","email":"info@opencampus.xyz","contacts":"Email,info@opencampus.xyz","externalContacts":null,"telegram":null,"discord":null,"whatsapp":null,"wechat":null,"prizeFundingEscrowed":0,"token":"USD","prizeSafeForm":0,"prizeSafeNetwork":null,"prizeSafeOwner":null,"prizeSafeWallet":null,"prizeSafePublishDate":null,"hasOnboarding":false,"isPublicTrackJudging":false,"isEndedTrackJudging":false,"question":null,"countryId":null,"cityId":null,"venueName":null,"venueAddress":null,"category":1,"isEnableBounty":true,"isBountyRequired":false,"isEndedBountyJudging":false,"bountiesLimitForBuidl":10,"isPublicBountyJudging":false,"isMultiTracksAllowed":false,"tracksLimitForBuidl":0,"showIdeaTab":true,"showQuestionTab":true,"showTeamTab":false,"bonusDescription":[],"askHackers":[],"isEnabledQuestions":false,"isEnabledAskHackers":false,"isBuidlsPrivate":false,"trackJudgingMaxScore":100,"bountyJudgingMaxScore":100,"isExtended":false,"oldEndTime":null,"status":2},"status":4,"bounty":null,"track":null,"table":"0","trackObj":{"id":1234,"name":"DeFi","judgingCriteria":"","weight":0},"bountyObjs":[]}],"chain":[],"chainList":[],"appliedGrant":false,"acceptRewards":false,"owner":165536,"ownerInfo":{"nickname":"Troy","username":"U_fcbc2012c8c309","avatar":"https://cdn.dorahacks.io/images/hacker-avatar/1.jpg"},"visible":true,"deleted":false,"continuousSponsoring":false,"pageView":0,"sponsoredCount":0,"starCount":0,"sponsoredAmount":"0.00","sponsoredPersons":0,"followers":5,"voteCount":0,"projectMembers":[],"bnbRound":null,"doraGrantDaoTags":[],"techTrees":[0],"infrastructureTags":[],"otherInfrastructures":[],"lastEditor":{"id":165536,"username":"U_fcbc2012c8c309","date":1736237501000},"upvoted":false,"followed":false,"upvoters":{"count":2,"list":[{"id":18663,"hacker":{"username":"imnotsure","avatarUrl":"https://cdn.dorahacks.io/static/files/19250617df235b367c2a35c400392e10.jpg","nickName":"imnotsure","introduction":"walk through time"},"createdAt":"2024-10-03T11:06:00.811352+08:00","upvotes":"0.00","followed":false},{"id":18648,"hacker":{"username":"Filskoplo","avatarUrl":"https://cdn.dorahacks.io/static/files/18e00a2458d2d267f83fff8493f9dca1.jpeg","nickName":"Filo","introduction":"Pusing tau"},"createdAt":"2024-10-03T00:42:24.360252+08:00","upvotes":"0.00","followed":false}]},"kycStatus":0,"ideas":[],"name":"Blend-lending protocol for educhain","techniqueField":"","source":"-","vision":"Develop a decentralized lending protocol on EduChain to revolutionize educational financing.
