Welcome to dEdu
Teach, learn and earn at the world's first decentralized school
ABOUT
dEdu turns education on its head by making it fully decentralized and permissionless
A new type of school where teachers teach without compromise.
Where learners fund the courses they actually want to study.
Where achievement is cryptographically verified and rewarded
dEdu isn't your typical educational platform. It's a complete reimagining of education itself to make it relevant for the future.
A new type of school built on uncensorable infrastructure to transmit knowledge that matters.
HOW IT WORKS
Experience how the future learns today!
Teach what you know without institutional capture. Propose courses directly with learners and use our AI to help you structure your teachings. Reach a global audience and receive the fees you set.
As a learner, you fund the courses that matter to you, held by teachers who matter. Engage in live classes to gain mastery from masters. Compound your curiosity and earn cryptographic proof of learning.
At dEdu, degrees are NFTs attesting to relevant skills for today's economy, rather than centrally-issued certificates of conformity. Learning outcomes are verifiable, composable, and resistant to institutional capture.
DONATION PROGRAM
As most parents, I worry about how prepared our kids are for the future.
Schools have become factories of conformity; Degrees are indulgences purchased from State-accredited, centralized institutions that reward compliance over curiosity.
At the same time, some of the world's most capable minds exist outside formal institutions and never get the chance to teach.
As a recidivist founder of various ventures, I believe together we can bootstrap our way out of this sorry status quo.
Join me in turning education into an open protocol for learning — owned by no one, usable by everyone, and uncensorable by design.
Choose your level of impact — Friend, Founder, or Trustee — whichever support you can afford.
Thank you for your donation!

governance
The School operates as a private economy, powered by $dEdu, the currency used by its students, teachers and wider community.
The School pioneers a new governance model as a Decentralized Unincorporated Non-profit Association (DUNA) in the U.S. State of Wyoming, which is a novel legal form purposefully created to allow for joint-ownership by a community of governance token holders.
The dEdu Association as a collective internally delegates its powers to the School's "Council of 12" consisting of Founders and Trustees, who in turn appoint a School Principal who heads dEdu LLC, the School's day-to-day operational company, 100% owned by the DUNA.

allocation of resources
dEdu is looking to secure anchor tenancy in the Palmetto Bay Village redevelopment in South Miami for its first learning archipelago.
During our launch phase and until we secured tenancy for our first physical campus (most likely in Miami), courses will be online via Google Meet. A link will be sent to you as soon as you registered for a course of your choice.
Teachers set their own price, so the cost of a course varies depending on the instructor and the course contents. Please check the course details for specific pricing.
Teachers also set their own schedule, from a two-hour lecture to a course spread over a week. Please refer to the course description for exact details.
Simply enroll with the school to register and pay for any course in our live course feed. Once you're registered, you will receive access instructions via email.
Some courses may have a limit on the number of students to ensure quality interaction. Please check the course details for specific limits.
Yes, there will be opportunities to interact with other participants, either via the webinar or in live sessions.
Yes, you can leave a review for the teacher after completing the course and we very much encourage you to do so. Only students who attended the course will be able to review a teacher, and teacher reviews will eventually be visible in the teacher's profile.
If you miss a realtime course, a recording will eventually be made available for you to watch via the teacher's profile.
The only way to keep dEdu uncensored and uncensorable is to free its courses from the straightjacket of State accreditation and standardized testing. This means that dEdu cannot legally issue official diplomas or degrees. However, in a system in which degrees are increasingly seen as irrelevant prelates extorted by an educational caste, we believe a proof of learning ("PoL") NFT upon completion of the courses of your choice hold more value to future employers and contributes more to personal development than a degree from a legacy college.
The course registration page asks for an Ethereum or Solana wallet where to send the Proof-of-Learning NFT after completion of each course. Over time, your wallet will show your learning history and how you compounded your curiosity.
Anybody can teach at dEdu about anything they know as long as students are willing to pay for it. dEdu prioritizes free expression as an inalienable human right. Its platform aims to allow legal speech with minimal removal — teachers can express opinions and ideas without fear of censorship, as long as course content stays within the law and does not violate specific rules (e.g., no direct threats, targeted harassment, child exploitation, or certain forms of violent/inciting content). Under the School's proposed governance model, the community has an ultimate veto right if courses would be deemed bad taste.
As a teacher, you can set your own price for your course. You can also teach for free. The price you set is per student. You can accept an unlimited number of students but we recommend you limit your course to a maximum number of students. Example: You will be teaching a course over one week in 5 classes of 2 hours each between 4:30pm - 6:30pm EST Monday to Friday. You hope to earn US$2,000 from your weeklong teaching, and limit your course to 40 students. The course price in dEdu's course calendar will show US$50.
You will receive your teaching fee at the end of the month in which your course was given. Over time, a smart contract will automate all payouts. Initially, the School will manually process payouts either in stablecoin to the wallet attached to your teacher profile or via a bank transfer.
If you do not reach your total course fee, you can either teach to a smaller group or decide to cancel the course. If you cancel, the School will take care of refunding those students who paid.
The School takes a 20% fee from each course fee to cover part of its platform and operational costs. The School is run as a non-profit and is funded via donations, which cover the majority of its costs.
Yes, we will help you staging your course and creating course materials, using AI with human override for both.
