Open Campus is leading a new era in learning by empowering individuals to take charge of their educational identity and data. This innovative Web3 education protocol has reached a significant milestone, with over 100,000 learners globally claiming their Open Campus ID. Launched in January 2024, the Open Campus ID is a decentralized identifier that gives learners complete control over their educational profiles, reputations, and data.

This system enables the creation of unique online identities, issuance of on-chain educational badges, and sets a new standard for digital learning and identity management.

Yat Siu, a co-founder of Animoca Brands and a member of the EDU Foundation Council, emphasized the mission of Open Campus to empower lifelong learners. Through the Open Campus ID, educational credentials become verifiable and immutable on the blockchain, validating individual skills and experiences to potential employers and institutions. Learners retain full authority over their academic accomplishments, heralding a decentralized education revolution.

The security of Open Campus ID is ensured by Terminal 3's trusted data platform and cryptographic tools. Personal information is encrypted during user onboarding and stored across a network of independent nodes in a decentralized manner. Institutions can access data with user consent in a privacy-preserving environment where data remains secure through structured encryption and zero-knowledge cryptography, enabling verification without exposing underlying information.

Gary Liu, Co-founder and CEO of Terminal 3, stressed the importance of self-sovereign user data, advocating for educational credentials to be freely composable yet fully private. Open Campus ID provides learners with a unique .edu identifier, allowing them to manage their academic certifications, skills, and achievements securely in a decentralized vault. Users can prove their identity with verifiable credentials while accessing Open Campus educational content in a privacy-preserving manner.

Open Campus, a community-led protocol, empowers educators, content creators, parents, and students to shape learning decisions collaboratively. By returning control over learning to educators and students, Open Campus fosters a supportive environment where teachers can tailor materials to meet students' specific needs. The protocol also recognizes and rewards the contributions of educators and content creators, creating new opportunities for effective educators globally.

Terminal 3, a Hong Kong-based Web3 startup, is revolutionizing user data infrastructure for a decentralized future. Their solutions offer an alternative to centralized data storage, prioritizing user privacy and enterprise security. Leveraging decentralized storage and zero-knowledge proofs, Terminal 3 aims to create an equitable Web3 ecosystem where user data remains private and secure. With a team of experienced executives and entrepreneurs, Terminal 3 is supported by leading investors, driving innovation in decentralized data management.
