The "Education Sector" may become the next hot sector.
Recently, the concept of the Giggle Academy donation meme token GIGGLE, frequently mentioned by CZ, was launched on Binance Spot, attracting widespread attention and discussion within the community, driving the popularity of topics related to crypto education. Meanwhile, at the end of last month, YZi Labs announced it would lead the investment in the AI education agency platform VideoTutor, demonstrating Binance's strong interest in the integration of "education + blockchain + AI."
Although the current altcoin market is generally cold, positioning for potential hot sectors during the market's low phase may be an opportunity to build momentum for the next round of market activity. Therefore, Odaily Planet Daily will take a look at the leading popular projects in the Web3 education sector.
Giggle Academy (GIGGLE, unofficial)
Project Introduction
Giggle Academy officially launched on March 19, 2024, aiming to deeply integrate education and gaming through blockchain technology. The platform covers foundational and emerging subjects such as mathematics, literature, science, physics, biology, finance, programming, and AI, reshaping the learning and certification system in a decentralized manner—learning outcomes can be permanently recorded through NFTs and on-chain badges. The project aims to address two long-standing issues in the education sector: first, to enhance engagement and retention in learning. With gamification mechanisms, Giggle Academy's platform data shows that users' average daily learning time has increased by about 23% compared to traditional online courses. Second, to alleviate the problem of degree inflation—when learning records are verified on the blockchain, talent assessment can focus more on real skills and knowledge mastery rather than paper qualifications.
Giggle Academy is one of the projects CZ has mentioned the most since his release, receiving long-term public support and multiple mentions from him. According to official data, the platform has received over 10,000 BNB in community donations through the trading tax mechanism of the BSC ecosystem meme coin GIGGLE, valued at over $10 million. Additionally, Binance launched the donation concept meme token GIGGLE under CZ on the 25th of last month.
It is worth mentioning that recently, Giggle Academy officials emphasized that they have never issued any cryptocurrency, tokens, or smart contracts, nor have they authorized any related fundraising activities.
Token Performance
Market data shows that GIGGLE's price briefly exceeded $270 on the day it launched on Binance Spot (with Binance's price peak even surpassing $310) before continuing to decline, currently reported at $75, with a market cap of $77 million.
Legacy Network (LGCT)
Project Introduction
Legacy Network is dedicated to innovating educational methods through emerging technologies, providing learners worldwide with an efficient, interactive, and enjoyable learning experience. The platform utilizes artificial intelligence technology to create personalized learning paths based on individual goals and learning styles, making the educational process more immersive and gamified.
The ecosystem integrates the native token LGCT, combining learning behaviors with incentive mechanisms. Users can earn corresponding rewards by participating in learning content, achieving goals, or reaching milestones, applying the knowledge learned in practice to further reinforce learning outcomes.
Its core components include the Legacy Academy App, Legacy Wallet, and a deflationary token economic model, collectively building a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates education, blockchain, and practical applications.
Token Performance
Market data shows that Legacy Network conducted its TGE earlier this year, with its token LGCT reaching a historical low of $1.07 on February 9 and a historical high of $2.20 in April. It is currently priced at $1.83, with a circulating market cap of approximately $195 million.
Open Campus (EDU)
Project Introduction
Open Campus is a platform that combines educational creation with blockchain technology, allowing educators to create and share their innovative teaching materials. Students can choose the materials they need based on their requirements, characterized by community creation, ownership, and promotion of content they want to learn about globally. Educators can earn income through the protocol and gain recognition from learners and the platform for their contributions. Its token EDU is the 31st Launchpad project on Binance in 2023.
The platform's users can be divided into three categories:
- Community Learners: Can learn the educational content they need to understand.
- Creators: Can publish their content on the protocol by providing promotional rights through Publisher NFTs, and the rights to sell educational content and courses can also be converted into NFTs, allowing these NFTs to be traded to share the revenue behind the educational courses.
- Philanthropists: Can directly support such educational initiatives through donations and track their donated assets through on-chain data.
In simple terms, Open Campus combines the education market and publishing through the tokenization mechanism enabled by Web3, achieving ownership transfer and profit-sharing mechanisms through smart contracts on a decentralized platform.
Token Performance
Market data shows that Open Campus is an "ancient project," with its token EDU reaching a historical high of $1.67 at the end of April 2023 and a historical low of $0.071 on October 10 this year. It is currently priced at $0.166, with a circulating market cap of approximately $100 million.
Hooked Protocol (HOOK)
Project Introduction
Hooked Protocol is a project centered on Web3 education, aiming to help more non-crypto users enter the Web3 world through immersive, gamified, and social learning experiences. Its token HOOK is the 29th Launchpad project launched by Binance in 2022.
The project uses education as an entry point, leveraging incentive mechanisms and interactive design to promote the adoption of Web3. Its Hooked Academy provides users with intuitive video learning content and combines a social recommendation system to foster continuous growth and activity within the community.
Token Performance
Market data shows that Hooked Protocol is an "ancient project," with its token HOOK reaching a historical high of $4.07 in early February 2023 and a historical low of $0.0279 on October 10 this year. It is currently priced at $0.056, with a circulating market cap of approximately $17 million.
VideoTutor (not yet issued)
Project Introduction
VideoTutor is an AI education agency platform founded by 20-year-old Silicon Valley entrepreneur Kai Zhao. The platform combines large language models (LLM) with the Manim rendering pipeline, capable of transforming any question into personalized animated courses.
Students can take a photo or input a math problem (currently focusing on standardized test questions like SAT and AP), and the system will generate explanatory content within seconds, including smooth problem-solving animations (such as drawing function graphs and labeling geometric figures) and clear step-by-step breakdowns, providing an experience akin to that of an excellent teacher explaining problems on a whiteboard. The platform has attracted over 20,000 users and received over 1,000 API integration requests from educational institutions.
At the end of last month, VideoTutor announced the completion of a $11 million seed round of financing, led by YZi Labs, with participation from Jin Qiu Fund (ByteDance affiliated), Baidu Ventures, Amino Capital, and BridgeOne Capital.
Alchemy University (not yet issued)
