DAO-based Educational Platform
The first idea was a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) related to an educational platform. The platform's goal was to level the playing field for young people who cannot afford courses, certificates, or private schools and help them choose proven and reliable resources.
The platform's challenge is that many courses on the market have little liability. Often people publishing online courses have shady competencies, but they can advertise their product well and attract customers in this way.
The platform, founded pro bono by a group of business mentors, aims to solve this issue. It's a repository of reliable knowledge endorsed by people with proven competencies. Since the DAO manages the platform, all mentors impact it; they verify the uploaded content and watch what courses are added to the repository and by whom.
The system runs autonomously; it goes into the hands of people and is controlled by smart contracts.
Blockchain portal with ethical job offers
The second product was based on two employment issues. The first is that the younger generation has a more idealistic and less capitalist approach to work than previous generations. Today's teens are increasingly concerned about the employer's mission—they want to work for companies that contribute to some greater good.
The second issue is employers' online reviews, which are often fake. Some job review portals even issue fake negatives and then call companies, offering them paid accounts so that they can delete bad reviews. Painful, isn't it?
The answer to the above challenges is a job board, where employees and employers primarily define their values, not the proposed or expected salary.
In addition, the platform has a transparent system for evaluating employees and employers. The process is done through blockchain transactions, so you can be sure that the opinions are real.
DAO to the IT learning platform
The idea for the third platform came from the fact that there are many professional online and offline courses, e.g., for scrum masters or product owners, but they differ in scope and are not equally approved by employers.
The platform solves this problem: it's managed by the DAO, which includes the IT companies that honor specific courses and the trainers and training companies that create and run those courses. Both groups set a certain learning standard on the market and make it easier for employees to choose courses worth taking.
Thanks to this platform, employees can easily check which courses actually have a business value, i.e., they are respected by specific companies on the market.
