As we continue to educate about cryptocurrencies and blockchain, we provide individuals and institutions to protect their clients wealth as well as develop and utilize blockchain technology. The ACA is focused on creating blockchain and cryptocurrency education for professionals, individuals and institutions through four pillars: Education, Certification, Platform, and Consulting. We are creating a gamified learn-to-earn web3 decentralized application that will provide the education and be backed by certification, continuing education, and credentialization. The Platform will allow future members to be involved in the course content creation. Consulting is focused on providing Universities and other higher education institutions the material and curriculum to white label their own courses. We are seeking funds to be able to continue the development of our dApp (already in the MVP stage and adding members daily) and build our communities as we continue to push forward on the other pillars of the ACA. This project is a fit for the Education and Community round because it has a track record of development and established outreach in the EDU space. \n\nThe project is led by educators and technologists with a passion for teaching the next 8 Billion people of the world:  \nJahon Jamali - CEO & Founder: Tech Entrepreneur; Former U.S. Intelligence Officer; BA/MA Johns Hopkins University. \n\nIvan Dimov - CMO: 20+ years of technology-related community building and start-up experience. \n\nMatt Rogers - CTO: 20+ years of projected management and tech product design. Finalist ETH Denver 2022 Hackathon. \n\nJordan Fuentes - CFO: 10+ years Finance and Consulting experience; MBA in Finance University of Denver.\n\nBrandon Frans - VP Corporate Development: National leader in real estate tech and enablement, and tokenized asset enthusiast. \n\n\nBuilding the “DuoLingo” of cryptocurrency and blockchain education will educate users on the technologies through a fun, learn-to-earn, gamified platform. We are building communities through Twitter Spaces, Twitch, and YouTube, and have daily (Monday through Friday) updates on the landscape of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. We also launch a weekly NFT focused live-streamed episode of our smART Assets program. \n\nEducation in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space is currently comprised of four main tiers: \nDIY Online Research - Social Media and Web Streaming distribution with inconsistent quality.\n\nBranded Industry Webinars - generally delivered by paying sponsors and fund managers which lack a holistic program and no EdTech approach.\n\nOnline Investor Communities - Real Vision, TheStreet, etc. are macro based and broad focused and lack a structured curriculum or certification. \n\nAcademic Crypto Training Services - include major exchange apps from Binance, Robinhood, Coinbase, etc. In addition, there are University programs such as Wharton, MIT, and Online Universities. All which lack the credentialing aspect. \n\nOur programs are: \nDesigned for ease of use, daily engagement and gamification.\n\nDetailed yet understandable.\n\nAre transparent and unbiased.\n\nBuilt for everyday users and professionals alike.\nWe built the platform to integrate with existing corporate and university LMS systems.\n\nWe're building the world's first on-chain credential oracle.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "", "projectTwitter": "USCryptoAcademy"}
