Overview

StudyVerse is a decentralized learning platform built under the MetaCampus ecosystem. It leverages blockchain technology to provide students with verifiable credentials, transparent progress tracking, and a secure ownership model for their learning achievements.

Unlike traditional platforms, StudyVerse ensures that every milestone—such as course enrollment and certificate completion—is recorded on-chain. This makes credentials tamper-proof, transparent, and easily shareable.

Key Features

• Wallet-Based Sign Up: Students register using a blockchain wallet (MetaMask initially).

• Course Enrollment (On-Chain Validation): Enrolling in a course is stored as a blockchain transaction.

• Decentralized Certificates: Completion certificates are minted as NFTs, ensuring authenticity and transferability.

• Student Profiles: Each learner has a profile displaying verified progress and credentials.

Tech Stack

Backend

• Django – Web framework for handling authentication, APIs, and database logic.

• Django REST Framework (DRF) – For building scalable REST APIs.

Blockchain & Web3

• Hardhat – Ethereum development framework for writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts.

• Web3.py – Python library for interacting with Ethereum from Django.

• Solidity – For writing smart contracts that handle enrollment, credential validation, and NFT certificates.

Frontend

• JavaScript / TypeScript (framework under consideration: React or Next.js for scalability and UI).

• Web3.js / ethers.js – For blockchain interactions from the frontend.

Workflow

1. User signs up via MetaMask → Wallet authentication stored.

2. Course Enrollment → Transaction sent to blockchain via smart contract.

3. Completion → On finishing a course, student is issued an NFT certificate.

4. Profile Dashboard → Shows all verified learning credentials.

Vision

The goal of StudyVerse is to create a transparent, student-owned, and decentralized learning ecosystem. By merging education with blockchain, we ensure learners’ achievements are portable, verifiable, and secure—shaping the future of digital education.
