LONDON, Mar 4, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - iLearn launches a new mobile NFT game app disrupting the education industry, gaming industry and pioneering Learn to Earn. iLearn, a learning incentivization platform, aims to use blockchain technology to create a rewarding, engaging, and fun way to learn. Eggheads will be the first program (game) launched on iLearn.

Founded by Edozie Izegbu, a software engineer who attended Oxford University with a focus on building socially impactful software from the get go. He worked at Blockchain.com and Carbon (Challenger bank in Nigeria).

iLearn has a distributed team hailing from PWC, McKinsey, Blockchain.com, Carbon and others, where they are committed to building decentralized ownership and reward architecture into the educational model.

The iLearn platform priorities incentivised learning, promoting engagement and motivation within a variety of subjects. The first of many applications to be released on the iLearn platform is Eggheads, a live puzzle quiz platform where players can win real prizes from crypto to NFTs to your favorite sports game tickets. Creating a new kind of "Edutainment" system for any web3 company to build on top of.

Platforms and release date

The Eggheads platform is coming to Desktop Web and Mobile Web in March and in Q2 for iOS/Android and allows players to keep all their crypto in the app with no knowledge of decentralized wallets or the wider crypto ecosystem necessary. If you know how to answer questions you can win real prizes.

How Does Eggheads Work

The Eggheads brain game trains the mind while also feeding the wallets with real cash, crypto, and NFT prizes. The application functions as an RPG puzzle platform that allows players to fight in Battle Royale (player vs. all) or PvP (player vs. player) trivia games. The goal of Eggheads is to provide a seamless live game show experience with everyone in mind. Crypto experts and novices alike will be able to compete. Play against your friends or top contenders in front of an audience.

Why Eggheads vs. standard play to earn course-based learning?

Eggheads won't replace standard course-based learning. Deep end-to-end education requires structure and guidance. However, Eggheads does fill the niche of incentivizing deeper and more targeted learning for individuals already interested in specific subjects.

Why doesn't course-based learning work for this use case?

The biggest issue is engagement. An engaging and fun mechanism is crucial for the continued learning of targeted subjects. In this sense, Eggheads will provide both a monetary and social incentive to participate in the ecosystem. Users will be enticed by the rewards but will ultimately remain engaged due to social interaction and competition with other people interested in the same educational topics.

Exciting Partnerships & What to Expect

The initial launch of Eggheads will kick off with Battle Royale style category-based trivia games. Users will compete against each other in a survivor-style game. Correct answers are rewarded, and the wrong answers could knock you out of the competition!

We mentioned exciting partnerships in the title and we meant it! The Eggheads pilot will be launched with revolutionary companies in the blockchain ecosystem. These first Battle Royale trivia games will be hosted by:

- Polygon
- Neon Labs
- Velas

We're looking forward to partnering with enterprises to power their learning incentivisation platforms with quiz games and courses.

Keep Up with iLearn

Stay in the loop with Eggheads development through our Discord, Twitter, and Medium. We have a couple more exciting partnerships to announce in the coming month and can't wait to share. Additionally, they will be releasing details and content related to our partner-hosted Eggheads tournaments.

A centralized database on a standard gigabit network can execute 710,000 transactions per second when transactions are no more than 176 bytes size on average. Without compromising decentralization, it is challenging for a blockchain to have such a high-speed transaction capacity. Solana has accomplished an impressive transaction per second capacity without compromising decentralization much. It is an open-source project that is a new permissionless and high-performance blockchain. The Solana Foundation manages the open-source project, situated in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the high-speed layer one blockchain, with a max capacity of 65,000 transactions per second. It has a transaction finality of around 13 seconds. How does Solana work? Proof of Stake (PoS) and Proof of History (PoH) are used by Solana Network to process its transactions efficiently with high speed. PoH is a simple method for validating all the transactions without communicating with other nodes. PoS is also used for validating transactions, for this, you have to stake your token. PoH is based on a simple method. It assigns a leader position randomly to a particular node after every new block creation. Any node which is the leader node must generate the whole proof of history statement. After being given the responsibility, the leader node coordinates with other nodes to construct a proof of history statement. The leader node also pushes the currently executed transactions, and then it publishes the transactions with verifiers in their final nodes. Verifiers repeat the process again to verify transactions. Verifiers also make copies of transactions and make them public. There is only one leader node in each Solana network at a time. The verifier node performs intelligently and has the same capabilities as a leader node; however, the verifier node can subsequently be elected as a leader through proof of stake elections. Compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchain networks, a combination of PoH and PoS works well for Solana, allowing it to process data at a cheap cost. Solana’s high-speed blockchain is built using eight major technologies mentioned below: Proof of History: a clock before consensus. Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance: a PoH-optimized version of PBFT. Turbine: a block propagation protocol. Gulfstream: a Mempool-less transaction forwarding protocol. Sealevel: the world’s first parallel smart contracts run-time. Pipelining: a transaction processing unit for validation. Cloudbreak: a horizontally-scaled accounts database. Archivers: Provide distributed ledger storage. Key characteristics of Solana:  Proof of History: For authorizing and restricting entries on its ledger, Bitcoin and Ethereum’s blockchain networks use a Proof of Work technique (proof of work means that every node on the blockchain network must reach consensus before every new entry). Proof of Work (PoW) is a complicated method that slows down the speed of transactions.  To address the drawbacks of the PoW system, Proof of History (PoH) was developed. Proof of history simply means that a new block can be added to the blockchain network without the need for mutual consent of other nodes. Every node in Solana has its clock and makes choices without consulting the others. Proof of History improves transaction speed while simultaneously ensuring an efficient blockchain network and recording all transactions.     Tower Byzantine Fault Tolerance: The BFT system functions as a safety net for the whole Solana ecosystem. It ensures that a single node failure does not disrupt the entire operation of the system. This approach enables the nodes to work even in case of multiple failures. Gulfstream: Gulfstream is a system that eliminates memepool requirements. Memepool can be viewed as a holding area where all unprocessed transactions await their turn. Solana’s network can handle a memory pool with a capacity of 1,00,00 transactions.   Validators are present in every blockchain ecosystem (validators select transactions and add them to the blockchain network). Solana’s network sends the transactions to its validators even before a new transaction is added. Validators empty the memepool region simultaneously, ensuring no ‘unconfirmed transactions’ in the Solana ecosystem. Sealevel: Solana allows for the simultaneous execution of numerous smart contracts. Solana becomes a time-saving and cost-effective blockchain network as a result of this. Sea level is the technology that allows Solana to run many smart contracts simultaneously. Cloudbreak: Solana uses a horizontal scaling method, which allows the blockchain to expand its scalability. Cloudbreak manages a database that can read and write transaction input data. It is also in charge of bridging the gap between hardware and software.  Pipeline: Most tasks in Solana’s ecosystem are separated for processing transactions quickly. Solana distributes the input data throughout the various hardware components of the network. It is a procedure that quickly checks the information blocks using various devices. Turbine: Solana splits various blockchain nodes into smaller packets. It helps in increasing the transaction speed of the network. Smaller data packets can be evaluated more quickly, which aids Solana in addressing bandwidth difficulties. Two main ways which make Solana … Continued
