What is OS University (EDU)?

The World’s Academic & Career Development Ledger. Empowering 7 billion learners to connect to world's top academic education and professional development opportunities on the Ethereum blockchain.


What is the worth of a college degree? What is the worth of an online certification? The world is no longer in a time where a resume can encompass an individuals skills and talents. OS University will solve this by creating a weighted system that accounts for all education types for an individual.

● As a distributed database that enables Academia, learners, and businesses to record and verify educational and
professional development credentials. This in turn will enable businesses to locate suitably qualified learners.
● As a global marketplace upon which high quality academic and L&D offerings will be made available, bought and
sold with our EDU Token that will enable transactions and will be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.

Benefits the Individual

Did you take an online course with Khan academy or Coursera? OS University will be a system that accounts for your traditional education as well as your online education. All your skills and talents will be recognized so that you can get the most out of your skill sets!

Benefits the Company

If a business is looking to higher someone who has a particular skill set, they can filter out applicants that do not have the qualifications they are looking for. With OS University , companies can isolate the exact talent they are looking for based on the totality of the potential employees skill sets and qualifications.
