We had a podcast last week and it's out here: link

Topic:

• Why technological advancement can be problematic
• How it is crucial to use technology for good
• The early stages of Soqqle and the barrier of irrationality
• Why digital tokens can help overcome that barrier
• How decentralized systems fare against centralized ones
• What a fully decentralized system will mean for individuals
• How Soqqle’s gamification will make self-improvement fun

Thank you.

Thanks for your encouragement! Actually my background is in JPMorgan, and i was lucky with career development with my managers. I wish to take the best in learning and development and spread them to the masses. And power it x100 with tokens as a behavioral incentive.

Singapore is the starting base given it's support for a Smart Nation. The next milestones will go into North East Asia (VN/PH/JP/CN/KR).

Sent you a PM mate! Can't wait to chat.



It'd be in Q2~

We are aiming Millennial students. So far I am planning integration with some education institues here in Singapore in pre-university and university (17-24yrs). Once our Alpha is successful, a few have indicated to integrate with their classes to boost student's motivation to learn.
Adaptive learning (i actually had to google it) seems like a part of where we are going. We are also trying to make it social by bringing online to offline. For example, instead of you having to hunt for people with similar interests, the platform is a auto-matching for people who have similar interest as you. In games we have a concept of LFM or LFG (looking for members/group): Exactly the same concept.

You seem like into learning yourself! Is this your domain of expertise?


Yes token will be used to buy more challenges, unlock cool stuff. The tokens can also be used as an "experience-booster pack" which can give a 10-20% bonus of XP for each completion of challenge (which will psychologically make them want to learn more). Or they could form teams with the tokens and ask friends within the network to crowd-source tasks. For example, a team can form and want to build a blockchain-powered cafe (which could be a challenge itself). They can gather help within their immediate 'friend list' who may have skilsets around design.. accounting, f&b and others.

There's a lot of possibilities! One of the final aims is to really give more insights over what your friends want to do and achieve (not just mindless endless loops on current social networks)

Thanks for your feedback. Yes it's EdTech. I will certainly take a look at how the infographic can be sharper and clearer, and fix that by this weekend.

Here "putting the education into esports" refers the concept of edu-gaming. Closer to a world of warcraft (therefore esports) in education: Where the campaign / storyline is linked towards what trends are happening in the future. The goal is to help Millennial students go through a method of learning that is more fun, more engaging and self-motivational. The platform aims to reduce the barrier to entry to self-discover passion, and create towards their goals.

Yes people will login, solve questions/challenges set out by the platform, and unlock special tasks / skills that allow the ability to help each other (goodwill), and through that earn tokens between each other. An example of a challenge could be :"build the first quantum computer" which the system will outline the skills needed for that, eg quantum physics, engineering which will push the users to complete tasks around the topics and gain levels.

Our Alpha will be ready next few weeks so hopefully that will be clearer by then.

Here's the whitepaper that has been drafted:

Here's a post about the vision for the platform!

Hi everyone!

I would like to introduce a cool new education game that helps Millennials better prepare for the future through a challenge-driven task system to make learning fun.

We are looking for educators, students who are keen to participate.

Thanks! Am aware of saturation of token scams so i will definately thread carefully. Here's what the philosophy is:

1) The tokens are used as a way to incentivize and encourage exchange of knowledge. There will be utility value in these tokens in providing guidance to each other, nail down mentors, community projects and so forth. Having an alternate value in the manner of listed tokens gives credibility to the process, and the parties involved in the transaction. Especially where the processing is done through escrows, wallets on the blockchain where authentication will be a bonus.
2) Millennials have not yet really jumped onto the wagon yet and its a new, interesting topic for them. Having the ability to get some bonus tokens and earn / give is a big incentivze and produces a potential viral effect.

Based on market research done so far, sentiments of the market feel that these tokens can help bridge gaps between school and work.
Post students then i look to expand usage across to adults with different use cases that i have shortlisted.

ICO is not the key focus but smart use and marketing of the tokens to growth-hack user interest / signups / retention.

Would be great if you think point 1 above can be expanded or there are factors i may need to deep dive in to study.

Hi! I am Dan, and i have a edu-tech project to upgrade social networks into an economy.

- It will be a peer2peer exchange where knowledge and experience can be transferred in a frictionless way.
- It will be built as a social network but with focused roadmaps to make it purposeful.
- Initial market is students (universities). The tokenization will be used as an incentive to help bridge the gap between school and work.
- A bit on the token: It's a hybrid model based on ERC20 token. The algorithms to derive and calculate the value is done offchain. On-chain are the wallets, escrow.

There is already a team that meets up on a weekly basis, the platform is being built and we are looking bigger.

Would like to get some feedback, collaborators and interests!

Dan
