The problem EduGate solves

EduGate is a platform that revolutionizes the way in which educators monetize their content. By providing a mechanism for setting a membership price and selling NFTs, EduGate empowers educators to earn substantial monetary compensation for their expertise and knowledge. This feature is especially advantageous for independent educators who seek alternative revenue streams to supplement their income.

Moreover, EduGate boosts learner engagement in various ways. By fostering a strong sense of community through the creation of a gated community, EduGate facilitates fruitful collaboration and promotes interactive participation in meetings and discussions among members. This aspect of the platform is instrumental in enabling learners to derive maximum value from the educational content and enjoy a more enriching learning experience.

Furthermore, EduGate offers educators an exceptionally secure platform for sharing their content. Through the issuance of NFT membership, access to the materials is restricted exclusively to members who have purchased this membership. This security measure ensures that the content is not accessible to unauthorized individuals, thereby preserving the exclusivity of the educational materials.

To use the EduGate platform, educators must first register on the platform, after which they can post materials and schedule meetings or live sessions. These materials and meetings are then accessible to users via the purchase of an NFT membership, which grants them exclusive access to the content.

In summary, EduGate addresses the pressing problem of limited income opportunities for educators while enhancing engagement among learners and providing a secure platform for educators to share their content.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating the Lighthouse SDK was a challenging task that required a lot of effort and attention to detail. Initially, I found it difficult to navigate through the documentation and understand the technicalities involved in the integration process. However, I persevered by reading the documentation multiple times and seeking help from the development team in the Discord channel.

One of the major challenges I faced was configuring the SDKs to work with our project's requirements. It took a considerable amount of time and experimentation to get everything working correctly. Moreover, there were some small but tricky technical hurdles that I encountered along the way, which required debugging and troubleshooting to resolve.
