STUDENT COIN: IMPROVING UNIVERSITY EDUCATION THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

Within the last four decades, the world has witnessed remarkable inventions and different phases of evolution in technology; the internet, robotics, artificial intelligence and of course blockchain technology, which currently is arguably the most influential invention captivating people from all works of life all around the world. A blockchain is basically an electronic or digital ledger which is decentralized and secure. It consists of time series data blocks connected to form a chain structure, the data secured with cryptography. Because of its amazing features such as immutability, decentralization, high security and the fact that it ensures transparency, its application is seen in almost every modern profession or industry in existence today including the entertainment, manufacturing and aviation industries. The education sector is not left out as it has also been greatly impacted by this disruptive technology. For instance in higher learning institutions such as universities, blockchain is beneficial in several ways:

Students’ records

Students’ credentials can be stored and tracked easily and quickly on a blockchain.

Copy rights protection

A blockchain securely stores information recorded on it and prevents it from been altered in anyway, hence authors of books and research works can confidently secure their work to avoid plagiarism of any kind.

Platform for learning and partnership/relationship building

On a blockchain platform, students can share information with each other and with their lecturers easily improving communication and strengthening bonds. Participants on the platform get important information like date and time of fixed lectures, upcoming events and so on. Alumni also get to keep in touch with their faculty through such platforms.

Learning and development platforms can be built on a blockchain network where students get to share ideas on projects and have access to e-books and other study materials relevant to their course of study. Internal ecosystems can be created and run using internal tokens. These tokens could be earned by students in the ecosystem as they engage in learning activities like watching tutorial videos, making contributions in discussion forums and interacting with informative contents. These earned tokens can be used to download books and have access to research publications and journals. This brings a whole new flair to learning.

Fundraising

Individuals or groups can raise funds to carry out projects or organize productive events by creating customized tokens which investors can purchase and trade on exchanges where they are listed. This automatically encourages creativity and innovation on the part of students as it removes the limitation of lack of funds.

STUDENT COIN (STC)

The student coin is a brilliant initiative aimed at creating the possibility of wide-spread tokenization for individuals, organizations, start-up businesses or firms and decentralized finance (DeFi). In simple terms, Student coin platform enables its users to easily create, design and manage tokens whether they are personal, corporate, DeFi or NFT tokens. This would be highly beneficial especially to start-ups and other organizations that engage in fund raising to sponsor projects. Student Coin connects universities all around the world encouraging interaction between students from different universities and facilitating the tokenization of the modern academic system generally.

The STC platform was created mainly for two purposes:

STC platform as an educational panel

The evolution of technology over the years has been astronomical with new inventions emerging at least every year. Keeping up with the technological trends hasn’t exactly been quite easy for lots of people. For instance, not many people have adequate knowledge about cryptocurrencies, tokenization and decentralized finance, as weird as this sounds, not many people have even heard the terms ‘’blockchain technology’’. The student coin platform would serve as a center where users can be educated on blockchain technology, cryptocurrency trading, decentralized finance, tokenization and other new technologies. Learning about cryptocurrency on the STC platform would bring about an increase in mass adoption of cryptocurrencies as more and more people would have a better understanding of how it works.

STC platform for tokenization

As stated earlier, the STC platform makes it possible for just about anybody(without any form of tech knowledge) to create and design tokens by following simple steps as well as manage their utilities and carry out further development on the tokens at any time. The users would have access to an open source tool called STC terminal which would enable them create and manage tokens. These STC-based tokens can be traded for STC on the STC exchange. The tokens created can be stored and swapped easily in the STC app.

FEATURES OF THE PLATFORM

STC TERMINAL

The STC terminal is the feature on the platform that gives users the opportunity to create their own secure tokens as well as provide the necessary range of tools needed for the development of the created tokens. At the STC terminal, certain activities can also be managed. These include personal fund raising, project voting, etc.

STC EXCHANGE

STC-based tokens create at the STC terminal are listed for free on the STC exchange and can be traded for STC tokens only. The STC exchange makes fund raising possible for projects through their STC-based tokens. During the crowdfunding process, only STC tokens are accepted as the currency, hence investors pay with STC tokens to receive the newly created STC-based tokens which can be traded only for STC token on the STC exchange. This automatically ensures liquidity for STC tokens increasing its value in the process

STC TOKEN

The STC token is the official token for the student coin ecosystem and it is the reference currency for which all STC-based tokens created at the STC terminal are traded. STC token (when staked) also creates passive income for investors. When investors stake their STC, they share in the revenue generated from operations carried out by the STC exchange. Holders of the STC tokens also get to participate in voting in potential projects to be built on the STC ecosystem.

STC LAUNCHPAD ICO

An ICO would be carried out to fund the STC project. The funds raised during the STC Launchpad ICO would be used to:

·        Create the STC exchange

·        Create the STC app

·        Create the STC terminal

·        Establish partnership with top universities

·        List STC on leading exchanges.

The ICO would kick off on April 1st, 2021 and would last till the end of April, 2021. More information about the Launchpad ICO can be found here: https://studentcoin.app/

TOKEN DISTRIBUTION

ROADMAP

The Student Coin platform would revolutionize the university education system as well as encourage more innovations providing easier and more productive ways of raising funds for projects . For more imformation on the project, do check out the links below.
