Using AI-driven ranking systems, smart contracts, and decentralized governance (DAO), EduFunding ensures fair, transparent, and trustless financial support for students and educational institutions.\n\nThe platform is designed to eliminate bias, inefficiencies, and corruption in traditional education funding systems by utilizing on-chain verification, NFT-based recognition, and community-driven governance.\n\n🎯 Key Features & Innovations\n1️⃣ Smart Contract-Based Scholarships & Student Loans\nScholarships: Automatically awarded to students who achieve a performance score of 80+, ensuring merit-based selection.\nStudent Loans: Available for students scoring between 50–79, allowing them to access funding based on performance.\nIncome-Share Agreement (ISA) for Loan Repayment:\nUses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to verify income without exposing salary details.\nLoan repayments are calculated based on earnings, ensuring fairness.\nNo Admin Control: Everything is handled autonomously via smart contracts.\n\n2️⃣ AI-Powered Student Ranking & Document Verification\nDecentralized AI Matching System ranks students based on academic performance, financial need, and potential future success.\nAI-powered document verification online ensures no fake students apply for funds, protecting against fraud.\nThe ranking determines who receives scholarships, loans, and funding priorities.\n\n3️⃣ On-Chain School Accreditation & Funding\nSchools can apply for accreditation through a fully decentralized verification process.\nAccredited schools are stored on-chain, preventing fraud and ensuring trust in education institutions.\nTop-performing schools can apply for grants to improve infrastructure, hire teachers, or develop new programs.\nSchools that continuously perform well receive NFT-based recognition as proof of excellence.\n\n4️⃣ Transparent & Community-Governed Fund Allocation(Gitcoin DAO)\nAll funding decisions are on-chain, preventing corruption and bias.\nThe EduFunding DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) governs the platform, ensuring transparency.\nDonors and funders can track all transactions in real-time on a public dashboard.\nToken-Based Voting System:\nDonors who donate 5+ times can stake EDU tokens to participate in governance.\nThe top donor automatically becomes a DAO member.\nInactive DAO members (30+ days of inactivity) are removed automatically.\n\n🔗 How EduFunding Benefits the Web3 Ecosystem\n✅ Expands Web3 adoption in education by integrating DeFi, AI, and blockchain.\n✅ Uses NFTs for credentialing, helping schools and students prove achievements.\n✅ Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) ensure privacy in loan repayments.\n✅ Fully open-source, allowing other projects to build on top of EduFunding.\n✅ Eliminates centralized control, making funding fully trustless and transparent.\n\n🌟 Why EduFunding Deserves a Gitcoin Grant\nEduFunding is more than just a student funding platform—it’s a decentralized education revolution that empowers students, schools, and donors through Web3 technology.\n\nWith Gitcoin’s support, we can:\n\nExpand AI verification and smart contract automation.\nImprove school accreditation and NFT-based credentialing.\nEnhance the decentralized governance (DAO) system for fund allocation.\nPromote EduFunding as the first fully decentralized education funding model.\nThis is an opportunity to reshape education financing using decentralization, transparency, and smart contracts—ensuring education funding is fair, efficient, and accessible to all.\n\nLet’s build the future of education together! 🚀\n\nEduFunding – Decentralized Education for All!", "projectTwitter": "amenorhu_b57815"}
