For episode 3 of the Impact on Optimism miniseries, we’re excited to welcome Will T, Founder of KFMEDIA℠, a Web3 educational platform on a mission to “inspire, excite, educate, & motivate people to support the regeneration of knowledge.” We explore how Web3 can improve traditional education systems, their innovative Learn for Impact program that rewards students for their achievements, insights on the growing Optimism ecosystem, and much more.

‍

‍

Key Takeaways

• Web3 can help regenerate education by developing innovative incentive mechanisms for learners and educators, onchain credential tools, and by making education more accessible and transparent.

• Learn2Earn is a new movement within Web3 that creates tools to reward learners for educational achievements, often with crypto tokens. KFMEDIA’s℠ Learn for Impact program rewards users with impact tokens to recognize their educational achievements while issuing onchain certifications.

• KFMEDIA℠ and Let’s GROW DAO decided to build on Optimism due to the vision of the Superchain. This includes interoperability amongst L2s, ease of use of the OP Stack, and a strong community of builders
