ForbesWeb3, Open Campus, and Animoca Brands team up to launch OC100, an innovative competition honoring Web3 creators who empower learners with educational content. These three entities combine their expertise to elevate content creators with online options.

By leveraging their resources in education, media, and technology, they aim to recognize and celebrate creators of instructional online content driving Web3 adoption to new heights.

Starting February 1, 2024, OC100 will kick off as a competition, with nominees announced promptly. The public will then cast their votes on a dedicated website. The competition will feature 8 nomination categories, including cultural and content creation, artistic impact, storytelling, technical trainers and developers, community leaders, investment insights, and more, culminating in the recognition of the top 100 creators.

Forbes will promote the qualified creators, facilitating their engagement with leading Web3 innovators at Animoca Brands’ OC100 events. The judging panel comprises esteemed Web3 professionals, including Yat Siu, Diana-luk Ye, Ray Chan, Kenneth Shek, and others.

Taha Ahmed, Chief Growth Officer at Forbes, sees OC100 as a transformative initiative in the Web3 educational domain, aiming to develop additional functionalities for digital education. Jonah Lau, Project Lead at Open Campus, aims to establish a platform emphasizing the value of educators and transforming the teaching paradigm.

Yat Siu, co-founder and chairman of Animoca Brands, views OC100 as a step towards revolutionizing online learning through cutting-edge techniques.

Nominations and votes in OC100 require Moca IDs or Open Campus IDs. Open Campus introduced Open Campus ID, a decentralized identifier (DID) in collaboration with Terminal 3, with over 52,000 IDs sought. Open Campus ID revolutionizes educational achievement verification and documentation. Alternatively, Animoca Brands' 400+ businesses are linked by Moca ID, a decentralized identity (DID).

Open Campus, a community-driven protocol, empowers parents, students, teachers, and content creators, shifting the responsibility of education to instructors and students for a more efficient learning environment.
