Tokenomics & Economic Model

The EDUA token is the foundation of the EduCoin Academy ecosystem, acting as a medium for transactions, incentives, and governance. It enables Learn-to-Earn rewards, course payments, staking, and NFT-based certifications, ensuring a seamless and efficient interaction between learners, educators, and investors.
The total supply of EDUA tokens is fixed at 4,000,000,000, ensuring a sustainable economic model that supports long-term growth. Tokens are strategically allocated to reward users, provide staking incentives, secure liquidity, fund development, and foster partnerships. To maintain stability and align with the platform’s long-term vision, a significant portion of the EDUA token supply allocated to the team, investors, and treasury is subject to lock-up and vesting schedules.
52%: Learn & Earn Rewards – Designed to incentivize learners and educators, these tokens fuel the Learn-to-Earn mechanism and are distributed progressively as users engage with educational content and complete platform activities.
20%: Staking Rewards – Encourages long-term participation and engagement through staking incentives. These tokens are unlocked over time to sustain staking rewards while maintaining a balanced supply. A lock-up period of 3 to 6 months ensures stability.
5.5%: Fundraising Allocation – Reserved for public token sales across multiple IDO rounds, funding early development and adoption. These tokens are locked for 6 months, with a gradual release of 20% after 6 months, 30% after 9 months, and 50% after 12 months to prevent immediate sell-offs.
2.5%: Liquidity Pool – Ensures liquidity on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and centralized exchanges (CEXs), facilitating seamless transactions. These tokens are made available as needed for market-making and price stability.
10%: Team & Development – Supports core team operations, platform innovation, and long-term scalability. To demonstrate long-term commitment, these tokens are locked for 12 months, followed by a structured vesting schedule of 20% after 12 months, 30% after 15 months, and 50% after 18 months.
10%: Treasury & Partnerships – Reserved for strategic growth, collaborations, and ecosystem sustainability. 50% of these tokens are locked for 1 year, with a gradual release over the next 12 months to support business expansion and key partnerships.
To maintain token value and control inflation, a conditional burn mechanism is integrated into the EDUA smart contracts on Polygon. This system is automatically activated once 10% of the total supply is in circulation.
Once this threshold is reached, 10% of every EDUA transaction on the platform is permanently burned, gradually reducing the circulating supply. This deflationary model applies to certifications, governance transactions, premium services, and other platform utilities, ensuring a dynamic balance between supply and demand.
This mechanism scales with adoption, stabilizing the token economy while reinforcing EDUA’s long-term value. Additionally, governance mechanisms allow for adjustments to burn thresholds and rates, ensuring an adaptive and transparent monetary policy that evolves with the platform’s growth.
EduCoin Academy’s dynamic staking model allows users to lock their EDUA tokens in exchange for rewards and governance rights. Stakers contribute to platform security while gaining voting power, influencing key decisions such as protocol updates, funding allocations, and ecosystem developments. This decentralized governance structure ensures that the platform evolves based on community interests rather than centralized control.
Unlike traditional staking, EduCoin Academy introduces a progressive staking system where rewards are directly tied to user engagement and contribution. The staking model operates on three levels, encouraging active participation:
Level 1 (10% APY) – For users who have completed 0 to 20 pieces of content (courses, quizzes, or certifications).
Level 2 (15% APY) – Unlocked upon completing 21 to 50 pieces of content.
Level 3 (20% APY) – For those surpassing 50+ completed content items, maximizing their staking rewards.
This activity-based staking model ensures that long-term contributors receive greater incentives than passive holders, reinforcing continuous engagement within the platform. By rewarding active learners and content creators, this system strengthens EduCoin Academy’s Learn-to-Earn economy while promoting long-term platform adoption and sustainability.
EduCoin Academy’s tokenomics are designed for long-term balance, integrating Learn-to-Earn rewards, dynamic staking opportunities, and decentralized governance. This model ensures that the EDUA token remains a self-sustaining asset, aligning the interests of users, educators, and investors while maintaining controlled supply mechanisms and sustainable growth.
