Using Coinvise to improve education through tokenomics and tokenized communities.

Coinvise for Remote Tokenized Learning Communities

4 min readNov 15, 2021

Something crazy is sweeping over education.

Facilitators everywhere are becoming interested in student-owned learning communities.

Teachers, faculty, remote school administrators, and founders are exploring ways to make alumni have ownership of the school they were once part of.

The technology that is most being explored for this is web3.

And the most common method that facilitators are thinking is tokenized communities.

Which brings us to Coinvise.

Coinvise makes it easy for education facilitators to create remote tokenized learning communities where the students take part ownership of the school!

Remote + Decentralization go hand in hand

With a great need arising during the pandemic, decentralized schooling is emerging as a way for families to give children an education without being in the same location as peers.

Additionally, and even more relevant, decentralized schools are quickly replacing colleges as high school graduates realize they don’t need to go into debt or spend a lot of money on a post high school education in order to be valuable in the workforce.

Students can learn with other students from anywhere!

Remote schooling is decentralized schooling, and crypto is decentralization (if we’re talking the most popular blockchains).

So remote schooling and decentralization technology, such as web3, go hand in hand.

Student owned communities govern themselves through a DAO

Next, there’s the concept of a DAO — a decentralized autonomous organization.

DAOs are self governing communities. DAO token holders can vote on initiatives and a chosen group executes those initiatives.

There can be different levels of DAO tokens which have different voting weight amounts or rights.

At the most sophisticated level, though hardly necessary for a brand new student owned community, immutable smart contracts can automatically execute DAO votes to put in the maximum amount of decentralization possible.

Different models

So what would a student owned tokenized community look like?

Perhaps the admission fee for a remote school could simply be owning a token purchased on Uniswap.

Perhaps there were admission tokens and DAO tokens, and the admission tokens allowed you to buy DAO tokens at a heavy discount. Or maybe the DAO tokens were free and interested parties just had to fill out an application to get them — so only the most responsible learners could control the community.

In this case, certain wallet addresses would be whitelisted.

Maybe the community could make investments into alumni projects so alumni could hold equity in other peers’ projects! Imagine that!

Setting up the community

An amazing place for these decentralized communities is in Discord. Discord makes it easy to have a web3 bot that verifies ownership of your DAO tokens. You connect your wallet, and if you are whitelisted and hold the requisite tokens, you get access to the Discord server.

Coinvise has a guide for this.

One of the biggest DAO Discord communities, fwb.help, was actually just invested in by famous VC firm, Andreessen Horowitz!

But just why is Coinvise a gamechanger when it comes to decentralized education?

Because they make it incredibly easy and intuitive to mint and distribute tokens.

If you’d like to do an Airdrop (to send out tokens) for your learning community, it’s easy and intuitive too:

Finally, if you would like to reward your community members based on merit, you can do so through a Coinvise Quest:

The possibilities for communities that utilize tokenomics truly are wild!

Wrapping up

For many, the world of blockchain, decentralized technology, and web3 is still intimidating and mysterious.

However, Coinvise demistifies some elements of DAO tokens and has a UI/UX simple enough to revolutionize education, which still, unfortunately, has many aspects that are quite antiquated.

We encourage you to check out Coinvise and give it a try! Don’t be intimidated by the gas prices required to mint community tokens. The education DAO that you can create could be well worth the price!
