Koha DAO The Future of Education

Koha Ed is a blockchain-based marketplace that enables parents, or guardians, to incentivise kids’ participation in learning activities by rewarding them with real money and value-based NFTs for their effort. Think pocket money to incentivise learning. However, Koha Ed rewards the effort, not the result. Koha Ed also creates new revenue streams for puzzle designers, those focused on gamification in education, content creators, curators, and publishers.

No, we are in the early stages of the KOHA ecosystem, and we need your help.

We are at the pre-seed stage of the project when it comes to funding. In other words, it’s been funded by us with support from family and friends. We have spent the last 9 months researching, and perfecting Koha’s concepts, designs, strategy, and approach. We are talking with major blockchain foundations, including sources of non-equity grant funding, focused on blockchain projects that are clearly for the greater good. We tick all the right boxes. We have a cool offer for early supporters of Koha. There’s real value in it. It is not complicated. It is limited with the focus on just a small number of participants.

The PLAN for KOHA is that we benefit as many people and organisations as humanly possible, as DAO which is an organisation owned and run by its community there will be no single owner or large powerful organisation pulling our strings which mean that our mission and values are owned by all that participate.  This ensures that the community ultimately decides who benefits and by how much and all members have a vote.

The following key stakeholders are those who will benefit the most, however.

• Investors: Who invests in KOA will share from the growth of the project and will see “dividends” paid from the profits of KOHA and will also see their investment fluctuate in price as the KOHA tokens increase in value
• Children: Children will have access to new forms of education and will earn rewards and pocket money for learning.
• Parents: Parents will find new sources of education for their children and will find content that will help with homework.
• Content creators and teachers. Content creators and teachers can enable their learning material to be viewed by hundreds even thousands of students and can earn a share of the viewing revenues and advertising revenues.
• Charities and special causes: Charities and special causes can get their messaging out to people who can help them to achieve their goals.
• Local residents, government and NGO’s: Organisations such as local government can send out messages for the local community to engage with and the local community can earn rewards for engaging with the content.

The two founders of KOHA are Alex Baker and Marcel Henry

The two founders of Koha DAO are experienced entrepreneurs and start-up addicts who have identified a real-world problem that impacts everyone’s life. We are crossing over into the world of Web3 to solve the problem, and then, via Koha Ed, bring the benefits of blockchain and crypto to the masses.

Koha DAO is a decentralised autonomous organisation and we are always looking for people to become members of the DAO and help out.  Whether you have a technical background or not you are welcome.  Typical ways that DAO members can help

• Development of the system
• Design, user experience and users onboarding
• Marketing and social media
• Content creators.
• Investors
• Community builders and moderators
• User help and support
• System testing

In its simplest form Learn as you Earn or L2E for short is the ability to earn money while learning.  Now you may ask yourself why this is even a thing, surely kids go to school to learn and as an adult, no one needs to force you to learn.

Well, that’s true but school is very rigid and focuses on a specific curriculum and as an adult, you tend to gravitate towards learning about subjects that interest you.

The problem with the curriculum is that some kids just don’t benefit from the typical “prescribed” education they get at school and as an adult there will always be subjects you feel you should know more about but, hey life is busy, and you just can’t be arsed.  That’s where l2e comes in it provides a reward for you digging deeper into a subject where you may not have a passion or an inclination.  It’s that first step down a rabbit hole in a new sphere of enlightenment.

Our mission is two-fold:

• Our collective mission is to create an engaging educational experience that enables anyone to learn about exciting subjects while earning “money”.
• Koha’s ultimate mission is to enable children in the developing world to improve their education while also earning money that can benefit the lives of their families and help to keep the kids out of child labour.

• We have a vision of a future where children and adults can turn to Koha Ed for unique educational content created by the community for the community. This amazing content will be available to anyone and everyone regardless of where they live.
• Access to the system will require only a connected device, and the earning of tokens with a monetary value will require no bank account.
• Koha Ed will help improve the lives of millions, even billions, of people, becoming a ubiquitous part of their education.
• An engaged community will help market, develop, and evolve the system, and the same community will vote on the system’s direction. As a result, Koha will be a community of thousands building a system that benefits millions, maybe billions.
• Koha earns revenues from subscriptions, sponsored education programs, and targeted advertising. Our revenue includes Koha L2E protocol utilisation fees paid to Koha DAO’s Treasury. These fees are based on the purchase of our Koha Ed utility token as incentives for children and students to undertake a learning task/activity. Sponsored Education Programs (SEPs) are programs published by individuals (Parents) or organisations (Local Authorities, NGOs, Corporations etc) using original or curated content that Koha Ed users consume in return for a reward. Individual content creators and organisations that promote education programs will require a subscription to the service.
• Content creators and curators will invest in a node enabling them to publish content; the node will also offer income and passive income options. End users will access the service for free via invitations to participate from the education program promoters.
• A percentage of the programs’ sponsorship fees go directly to the content creators and the users who consume the content.
• Koha will take a small transaction fee, or gas fee, for the use of Koha’s L2E Protocol. As other projects based on Koha DAO’s L2E Protocol come online, new gas fees will be paid to Koha DAOs Treasury.

Koha DAO The foundational DefI investment and structural DAO. Koha DAO is a community where members decide which projects Koha DAO will invest in. DAO members can exercise their influence by selecting projects through established Defi protocols and mechanisms. The Koha DAO is mandated to fund blockchain projects chosen by its community.

Koha Ed is the 1^st project that Koha DAO plans to fund. Koha Ed is a “crossover” solution that aims to solve the problems inherent in today’s Web 2.0 centralised solutions by leveraging the features of Web3 technologies, disrupting, and improving the current education ecosystem. Koha Ed is built on Koha DAO’s Learn to Earn (L2E) protocol that incentivises and rewards the learning journey, throughout the journey, instead of rewarding the result of examinations at the end of the journey.
