SKYQUARK’s Edusphere

THE FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-BASED, DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGY RESOURCE SHARING ECOSYSTEM



CURRENT CHALLENGES FACED BY THE STEM EDUCATION INDUSTRY

The cost of accessing academic journals & research papers is very expensive.
The current system of academic journals is overly centralized and blindly relies on authority. Many new talents and good quality research/IP are being buried or ignored.
Many researchers lack sufficient funding while lacking an efficient & direct communication channel with potential investors.
There is high demand for intellectual property protection in the STEM education industry.
Many research projects need a way to publish research results online and receive proportional rewards as incentives.
Knowledge payment programs are starting to become popular, especially STEM education which is only at its initial stages in North America and the rest of the world.
Based on the mentioned list of challenges, it is observable that there is a substantially increasing demand for decentralization in academia on a global scale. According to Forbes, The Washington Post, and The Economist, technology innovation can convert the global education sector into an industry worth US$4.6 billion to $6 billion. The innovative revolution of the education sector has only begun. The potentials are immense and worthwhile to invest in.

DEMAND-BASED SOLUTION FOR EDUCATION

What will Edusphere/Skyquark offer?

Provide an innovative learning experience for students and professionals across countries via an online live education platform. Skyquark will combine its network of top university professors with the platform with blockchain and smart contract integration. Point-to-point payment with digital currencies can eliminate the middle man and save unnecessary fees.
Independently construct a STEM education system by inviting Masters/Doctoral students to teach on the Edusphere platform (with future cooperation from local education departments) to provide live online lessons. The lessons will be delivered in class sizes around 2000 students. Contents of the lessons will be refined into knowledge points ensuring easy grasp of concepts by the students.
By providing a platform for scientific journal & research papers to realize their value, authors can approach individual or institutional investors on the ecosystem’s platform (Edusphere) to quickly convert research results into commercial products.
Publishing & exchange of science & technology research papers within the ecosystem. By hosting regular online roadshows of science & technology start-up projects, we can provide crowdfunding opportunities for aspiring entrepreneurial individuals and groups.
Four platforms of the Skyquark ecosystem: Knowledge Payment Learning Platform, IP Token Creation Platform, Science & Technology Project Crowdfunding Platform, and Research Paper Publishing Platform


COMPANY PHILOSOPHY

By reforming the current landscape in the education & academic fields and constructing a decentralized, borderless platform, we will be able to revolutionize the operation model of publishing new technologies.

SKYQUARK’S BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES

We will develop APIs at the data import layer to interface with PC and mobile data collection devices. After initial processing and sanitization, the data will be sent to the data storage layer. Data-generating smart devices such as PCs and mobile phones can interface with Aristotle chain, rendering the reported data immutable. Meanwhile the data collection devices can help identify ownership of the data and help owners realize benefits of the data exchange.
At the data storage layer, collected data will be stored on the Aristotle chain. Aristotle chain will ensure data privacy under the premise of maintaining the completeness and correctness of data. Aristotle chain will also provide token circulation and issuance services, in order to support the operation of the incentive mechanism of the entire ecosystem.

At the data processing layer, we can utilize data sanitization, data mining, and data analysis on trusted data stored on Aristotle chain to process and discover internal relations in the data itself, enhancing value during the process.
At the platform level, Aristotle Chain applications can be developed using the collected data. Potential applications include but are not limited to: STEM education platform, IP token creation platform, science & technology crowdfunding platform, knowledge payment platform, and research paper publishing platform.
Aristotle Chain supports the implementation of access control features. This ensures that only authorized individuals and groups can access the platform or to submit and use available services on the platform.

FEATURES

Aristotle Chain will use its own protocol developed by Skyquark to support the operation of the whole ecosystem:.Support user identity verification and prevent fraud.
Trust-based voting and rating system allowing users to assess academics’ level of skill and reputation.
Solve network performance problems of on-chain microtransactions.
Support individuals to record and transfer their intellectual properties: currently catering primarily to educational content produced by teachers. Other individuals can view such intellectual properties after paying the fees and being authorized. All intellectual properties are stored on the cloud backed up by blockchain. User actions such as record, transfer, and access will be permanently recorded, making the system reliable, secure, and all actions traceable.

ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION PLATFORM COMPETITORS

There exists several well-known companies providing online learning experiences, such as Cousera, Khan Academy, EdX, Codecademy, FutureLearn, XuetangX, Udacity, etc.
Existing competitors are relatively larger in operation scale, making them more conservative, rigid, and unwilling to attempt innovative education methods or share their vested interests.
Our operational model: operate our platform by innovating with charity donations. By permitting individuals and organizations to donate to STEM courses in any country or region in the world, donates can use the Internet to view STEM courses for free. At the same time the acts of donation will be recorded onto the blockchain, enabling the public to look up and trace the transactions.
The innovative functions and operation models are unprecedented among our existing competitors.

CURRENT COMPANY OPERATIONS

We have launched the first STEM education platform integrated with blockchain intellectual property protection and education certification.
We have launched our own cryptocurrency business with Ethereum mining operations across Toronto and Montreal. Sales of individual-oriented cryptocurrency mining machines are also available.
Obtained business partnerships with the local financial industry in Canada and currently providing blockchain application consulting services for local financial institutions and other blockchain start-ups.
