Why do we need decentralized education?

In today's world, education is not evolving such as technology which is innovating so much. One of the latest changes introduced by TrotelCoin is decentralized education.

But what does that mean, and why is it important for learning? Let's dive into this topic and see how it can help you learn and earn in the crypto world and how we’re building it.

What is decentralized education?

Decentralized education means learning that is not controlled by a single, central authority like a school or a university. Instead, it's open and available to everyone, often using the internet. This type of education allows people to learn at their own pace, from anywhere in the world, and from a variety of sources.

Why is decentralized education important?

  1. Accessibility: Traditional education can be expensive and hard to access for many people. Decentralized education, especially online, can be free or much cheaper. This makes learning available to more people, no matter where they live or how much money they have.

  2. Flexibility: With decentralized education, you can learn at your own speed. Whether you are a beginner or already know a bit, you can find the right level for you. This flexibility helps you fit learning into your busy life.

  3. Diverse Perspectives: Learning from different sources gives you a wider view of the subject. Instead of getting one opinion from a textbook, you can read articles, watch videos, and join discussions from experts around the world. This variety helps you understand the topic better.

How does decentralized education benefit web3 learning?

  1. Up-to-Date Information: The web3 world changes quickly. New technologies and trends appear all the time. Decentralized education can update information faster than traditional textbooks, so you always get the latest knowledge.

  2. Practical Skills: Many decentralized learning platforms offer interactive tools and real-world projects. For crypto, this means you can practice trading, understand blockchain technology, and even earn crypto while you learn. This hands-on experience is invaluable.

  3. Community Support: Decentralized education often includes a community of learners and experts. You can submit courses and teach others knowledge so the can benefit from it. This community can help you stay motivated and solve problems quickly.

How TrotelCoin is helping with this?

A few weeks, we introduced the Proof of Collective Intelligence.

The Proof of Collective Intelligence is a new approach in decentralized education that allows anyone to create and submit courses to an app. Here's how it works.

Creators fill out a form with course details, choose categories, and create content with 6 to 12 slides and quiz questions. They pay a non-refundable fee. This information is turned into a json file and sent to the IPFS, which provides a unique code (CID). This CID is used in a smart contract to add the course, linking it to the creator’s address for revenue sharing.

There is a voting period where users vote on the course quality. Voting power depends on factors like TROTEL balance and staking balance. The course listing time varies by creator grade: 2 weeks for Beginners, 1 week for Intermediates, and 3 days for Experts. If the course gets enough votes, it’s added to the app; if not, the creator can revise and resubmit it after 3 days. Future plans include supporting videos and other course formats.

For now, we’ve finished the frontend part and we’re able to collect all the courses informations and send them to IPFS.

In the next weeks, we will be focusing on developing the smart contract to make everything works perfectly such as the voting system and linking IPFS with the blockchain.

Conclusion

In conclusion, decentralized education is a powerful way to learn about cryptocurrencies. It makes education more accessible, flexible, and diverse. By using decentralized platforms, you can stay up-to-date, gain practical skills, and join a supportive community.

Start your journey into the web3 world with decentralized education today, and unlock new opportunities to learn and earn!
