This non-profit entity supports community, initiatives, and protocols upgradations. Moreover, it’s an on-chain revenue-sharing model makes the distribution highly fair.
Open Campus lets donors support education endeavors with smart contract donations. The donors can do it through sponsorships, scholarships, bounties, and grants. In return for the donations, the donors get recognition and tax benefits. To ensure compliance and quality, the protocol deploys a peer-review system. A panel of qualified EDU holders chooses the validators.

However, they’ll have to pay the fee in EDU tokens for that. The fee amount is determined by the consent of co-publishers and content creators.
