Project description

Many Africans find it difficult to understand key web3 concepts and terminologies because of the complex jargon and abundance of misinformation in the African Web3 space. This causes a barrier to adopting innovative Web 3 projects on the African continent. This is largely due to the fact that these products have a learning curve and no literature to guide users on how to use them.

Oxy aims to provide its users with a simplified and gamified means of learning about Web 3 technologies while interacting with real projects. We will achieve this by:
Providing users with access to bite-sized interactive lessons that simplify these concepts and jargon.
Lowering the entry barrier using a gamified approach, through quizzes and rewards with multi-language options for a more diverse audience.

Maintenance and upgrade plans

Maintenance and upgrade plans (Roadmap)

• Gamification: we will implement advanced gamification features like badges, leaderboards, and challenges for a more involved and active community.
• Expand into other frontier tech industries: this challenge is faced by the broader frontier tech ecosystem. Integrating with additional partner companies across the frontier tech ecosystem and expanding the content library will provide diverse learnings.
• Rewards: the in app tokens only make sense if people can swap or burn them for real rewards. We'll work with partner projects to make sure that a meaningful reward system is in place for a smooth and valuable user experience.
• Introduce social features for user interaction and community building.
• Enhance web app performance and user experience.
• Conduct comprehensive QA testing.
