2.1 Problems in Traditional Education

Problem Area	Description	Consequence
🎓 No Learning Incentive	Web2 education rewards creators / institutions — not learners.	Low motivation and poor completion rates.
🔒 Closed Data Models	Progress and certificates remain locked in private databases.	No proof-of-learning; credentials cannot move across platforms.
💰 Unbalanced Value Flow	Centralized platforms capture > 90 % of economic value.	Learners have no financial upside.
🧠 High Web3 Entry Barrier	Wallets, gas fees and technical complexity deter newcomers.	95 % of potential users drop off.
🕵️ Unverified Crypto “Education”	Scam projects misuse “learning” as marketing.	Loss of trust and reputational damage to the sector.
