Project Name: EduTOz

Problem:

Developers interested in building on the Tezos blockchain often face challenges due to limited educational resources. The existing materials are insufficient to provide a solid foundation for development.

Solution:

EduTOz is an educative platform designed to address this issue by offering a comprehensive learning experience and incentivizing community participation.

Product Details:

1) Learning Module:

• Description: This module provides a series of basic exercises aimed at helping users build proficiency in Tezos development.
• Reward System: Upon completing an exercise, participants earn tokens. These tokens serve as a form of recognition and are non-transferable.

2) Project Collaboration Space:

• Description: Companies can submit projects to the platform, inviting the community to develop solutions.
• Voting System:
  • The community evaluates the proposed projects through a voting mechanism. The weightage is distributed with companies holding 40% and the community holding 60%.
  • The weight of each vote is determined by the voter's rank, which is determined by his or her token balance. You will find all the details in this file : VotingCalculusMethod.md.
• Reward System:
  • Voting for the best projects earns you tokens.
  • Voting for less popular projects may result in a loss of tokens, potentially impacting the voter's rank position.
  • Error Detection Algorithm: Voters who have supported a project with detected errors lose tokens.
• Winner Selection: The project with the highest combined score wins. The company sets a prize at the outset, and the winning project automatically wins this prize.

3) Developer Hiring Service:

• Description: Our company maintains a dataset of users, including their proficiency in various fields of development.
• Functionality: Companies seeking developers with specific skills can utilize our service to access relevant information and potentially hire developers from the community.

Benefits:

• Provides a structured learning path for Tezos development.
• Fosters collaboration between companies and the Tezos community.
• Incentivizes active participation with a token-based reward system.
• Enables expert developers to earn money while continuing to learn through new projects.
