BitDegree
The world's first blockchain-powered online education platform with token scholarships & tech talent acquisition.
The BitDegree platform will offer students the best online courses with a clear and transparent blockchain based reward system and achievement tracking. It is also a unique tool for businesses to recruit tech talent and shape global education to their needs. Think of it as Coursera and HackerRank merged together, powered by the decentralized blockchain technology.
All About Education
We are proposing a digital incentivized studying platform as a new tool to grow the global tech talent pool. Companies in need of tech talent will provide financial incentives to students willing to participate in training courses and to develop their skills. Companies seeking to get people familiar with newly introduced technology or services, will provide financial incentives to students willing to spend time to learn and to try the company’s offerings. By providing incentives, any company explicitly signals the demand for certain qualifications, or informs about knowledge and skills needed to effectively use newly introduced technology/products/services.
People looking for new opportunities will learn new technologies, develop practical skills in demand, and get familiar with existing technological solutions provided by solution providers. Job seekers will enroll to subsidized courses to get more knowledge and to develop skills within selected technology topic. The course materials and learning process will be made interactive and in a highly engaging way by following field-proven gamification methods.
BitDegree will rely on Ethereum platform to enable incentives scheme and to store transparent record of all achievements made by students
Scope The Problem
When we first started to analyze reasons behind and difficulties
of hiring tech talent, we looked for
possible solutions and then wondered who else would benefit from the approachin
which we would take to address the problem. We then incorporated those parties
to synthesize new problem scope and tried to find the solution to newly defined
problem. As in any of those exploratory endeavors, one must not forget to limit
the problem scope to minimum, and to look for solutions providing maximum benefits
to parties involved. We settled on a very small group of parties that are benefiting
greatly from synergetic solution.
Universities and higher education institutions are universally failing to fulfil their mission - to teach their students well.The gap between the needs of employers and student knowledge already exists and is widening. BitDegree innovation is a possibility for businesses to initiate and maintain dialogue with upcoming talent and reward themfor achievements through smart-incentives.

Token Cycle and Benefits To Parties Involved
The market potential of BitDegree
It is easy for everyone to observe the rapid expansion of the remote education and e-learning markets. We believe that with the new incentivized learning model, BitDegree brings the next wave of e-learning adoption, which will spur the growth of the user base. We estimate the user base to double every two years.
Token Economy
Six Things About Token Sale
The BitDegree crowdsale will begin this Friday on December 1st, 2017. There are only 660 million BitDegree tokens (BDG) in circulation, and we do not want you or any other token sale participants to miss out on this unique opportunity to reinvent education.
To buy your BitDegree tokens, and to find out everything you need to know about them, read the steps below!
• BitDegree tokens can be bought using Ether, the Ethereum currency (ETH) or any other cryptocurrency using Tokenlot. Therefore you will need to create an ether wallet. Read our guide about how create an ethereum wallet and buy BitDegree tokens here!
• BitDegree tokens are bought via the BitDegree smart contract, which is placed on the blockchain. An address to the smart contract will be published on www.bitdegree.org at 14:00 UTC, Friday December 1st, 2017. After you make your purchase, your BDG will be immediately transferred to your Ether wallet. You can discover how the BitDegree smart contract works on Github.
• We have a set a hard-cap of 30,000 ETH (approximately $12.5 million USD) and we are not making any pre-sales or deals with cryptocurrency ‘whales’. We believe that this inclusive approach will help transform potential BitDegree token buyers into fully-fledged BitDegree token holders, and lead to the creation of the BitDegree community. Read the BitDegree pledge here, which outlines the guarantees we have made to all of our token sale participants and token holders.
• We have safety precautions to protect you, your ether, and your BDG against cybercriminals. Whilst we are taking the maximum security measures to make our smart contract more secure, moving your ETH from the smart contract to external wallets increases the security of your funds. Here is the framework of the security measures we will use during the token crowdsale.
• BitDegree’s token sale has been approved by the National Bank of Lithuania (Lietuvos bankas). This means that our token sale is one of the very few in the world that has been approved by the national bank and supervisory body of financial market participants of its country of operation. Lithuania is a European Union member and is part of the Eurozone.
• BDG will be sent to each token sale participant immediately. The Token is ERC-20 standard, meaning it can be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges. The exchanges listing BDG will be announced after the token sale. The token will become tradable two weeks after the hard cap is reached.
Token Launch
BitDegree will issue an ERC20 compatible token, which will be used to provide incentives to students and contributors of the platform.
The sale of BitDegree tokens will be final and non-refundable. The BitDegree will not be responsible for any loss of BitDegree tokens or situations making it impossible to access BitDegree tokens, which may result from any actions or omissions of the user or nay person undertaking to acquire BitDegree tokens, as well as in case of hacker attacks.
We plan to offer anyone sharing our vision to contribute to the development of BitDegree by buying BitDegree tokens during the Initial Coin Offering event, which will be hel on Q4, 2017. BitDegree goal is to raise a minimum of 5 million USD and to stop accepting contributions when 25-30 million USD will be collected. Some of the numbers may change due to ETH/USD exchange rate volatility, but the following numbers are best estimates as of September, 2017.
• Maximum financing : 30,000 ETH - may change due to exchange rate changes;
• Minimum financing : 550 ETH - may change due to exchange rate changes;
• Exchange rate : 1 ETH = 10,000 Bitdegree Tokens - may change with ETH exchange rates;
• Token contract address : Will be published only on website bitdegree.org 48hrs before the crowdsale launch date;
• Launch date and time : Date to be announced soon. Block number will be published on website. Dates may be prone to change;
• Token launch time-frame : 30 days.
• Token launch completion : Token launch will end when either the maximum number of ETH is raised or 30 days have passed. If less than the minimum of ETHs are raised, ETH can be retrieved by holders of BitDegree Token;
• Contributors sending ETH to BitDegree Smart Contract address will immediately receive tokens.
