Why Is LiveEdu Running an ICO? Why Does LiveEdu Need to Be on a Blockchain?

As explained in the educational article “Differences Between Protocol Blockchain and App Blockchain Companies”, LiveEdu is by default, like 99% of companies running an ICO, an app blockchain company. They are building their blockchain smart contract technology on top of an existing blockchain, namely Ethereum, using ERC20 tokenization mechanics. LiveEdu is using similar blockchain smart contract mechanics to what Steemit uses. They are building for the online education market what Steemit built for online publishing. They use EDU blockchain smart contracts in their network for payments and rewards. In about three years, after they have fully built out our external ecosystem, they will build their own protocol blockchain and migrate from the Ethereum protocol.

The LiveEdu ecosystem consists of two networks, namely the internal ecosystem and the external ecosystem. The internal ecosystem participants are project creators (content creators), viewers (learners), community moderators, project quality moderators, and LiveEdu API application developers. The external ecosystem participants are businesses, schools, libraries, colleges and other online education companies.

The LiveEdu network is a classic model that is highly suitable for blockchain smart contract tokenization. The blockchain will decentralize key content, product and project development decisions that are made on both the supply and demand side. Tokenization will help LiveEdu build its network faster on both sides:

Supply side

  • LiveEdu does not create content itself, but provides a peer-to-peer project network that connects streamers to viewers from the whole world.
  • They plan to use tokenization as a key approach to solve the chicken-and-egg marketplace problem by incentivizing early project creators with a mix of EDU tokens and cash.
  • Tokenization will enable LiveEdu to bind content creators because, they will have a shared interest in the long-term value appreciation of EDU tokens.
  • They plan to use investors in the ICO, who have subject matter domain expertise, to create projects. Therefore we see the ICO as a way to build deep relationships with potential project creators.

Demand side

  • The success of LiveEdu will depend on creating content that viewers want to watch. So far, streamers have decided which projects to create, frequently deviating from what viewers want to watch. Tokenization will empower viewers as token holders to submit projects or vote on projects. This will transform LiveEdu from a supply-side-driven marketplace to a demand one.
  • Tokenization will enable LiveEdu to launch a native payment currency that is deeply embedded into the product and used for all payment transactions.
  • Tokenization will enable LiveEdu to reward site supporters, moderators and API ecosystem developers, using EDU tokens without spending any fiat upfront, which reduces business risk.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

The concept of a blockchain – a distributed, tamper-proof and time-stamped database of transactions that can be managed without intermediaries – is highly attractive in the supply chain domain, and the industry has launched a number of proof-of-concept initiatives. However, awareness of how blockchains work and what they can accomplish for supply chain is still relatively low. The lack of knowledge is exacerbated by the fast pace at which the technology is evolving.

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
