1> Low Engagement in Learning – Many people struggle to stay consistent with self-education due to lack of external motivation or rewards.

2> Underutilized Yield in DeFi – DeFi yield is often used for passive income but rarely leveraged to incentivize productive activities like learning.

3> Inefficient Incentives in EdTech – Traditional learning platforms rely on certifications and gamification, but they don’t offer tangible financial incentives for continued participation.

4> Fragmented Learning Communities – Current online learning platforms lack strong, aligned incentives to keep users engaged and contributing consistently.
