Scorla: Earn crypto yield & fund education.
The problem Scorla solves
It allows people to earn competitive DeFi yield on their assets while simultaneously and automatically funding education.
Think of it as a "profit with a purpose" vault.
For Users: You deposit your stablecoins (like USDC) into Scorla to earn a return, just like any other DeFi vault. You don't have to do anything else.
For Public Goods: Scorla's unique strategy automatically takes a portion of the yield (never your principal) and routes it to fund educational programs, scholarships, and learning DAOs.
The Problem It Solves
Scorla fixes two major problems:
Unsustainable Funding: Public goods and education rely on sporadic, one-time donations. This is unpredictable and inefficient.
Siloed Yield: Billions in DeFi generate yield that only benefits the depositor, locking out real-world impact.
Scorla connects these two worlds. It makes funding education perpetual and sustainable by turning idle capital into a non-stop engine for social good.
**Our Unique Innovation: **The "Proof-of-Impact Flywheel"
This isn't just a simple splitter. Scorla's core strategy is reflexive—it learns and improves.
The vault donates a portion of its yield (e.g., 20%) to a scholarship.
When that scholarship is verifiably completed (a "Proof-of-Impact"), the vault's smart contract is notified.
In response, the vault automatically increases its own donation split to 21%.
This creates a powerful feedback loop: the more effective the vault is at creating real-world good, the more it dedicates itself to that cause. It's a true, sustainable growth engine, exactly in line with Octant's mission.
Challenges I ran into
The only challenge i have encountered so far is that the files on the official repo did not download properly so i had to trace and manually copy and paste the document into mine.
