Value Application
With efficient learning methodology and Web3 mechanics, we will accelerate the adoption of Aeternity ecosystem for Web2 developers. The result of our partnership will be 1K new builders and creators for Aeternity.
Web3Campus is where the traditional EdTech business model meets Web3 mechanics. Key Web3 mechanics like digital identity protocol, Learn-to-Earn, and Contribute-to-Earn will be built on Aeternity network. This way, the technologies of Aeternity ecosystem will be at the base of ‘Web3-vizing’ the EdTech market.
