Open Campus (EDU) is a cryptocurrency that powers the Open Campus protocol, a decentralized education-focused marketplace where educators, publishers, and students can collaborate and benefit from academic content. The Open Campus protocol aims to transform traditional centralized education into a more open, transparent, and community-led system that is not controlled by governments, corporations, or censorship.

The EDU token has several functions and uses within the Open Campus ecosystem. It can be used as a means of payment for products and services offered by companies who have adopted the protocol. EDU can also be used to incentivize and onboard web2 users to web3 as they receive a discount for accessing offerings provided by the protocol’s ecosystem partners. Additionally, EDU token holders can help govern the protocol’s DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization, which manages the protocol development, funding, and operations.
