Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What is SuiVerse?
SuiVerse is a decentralized learning platform on Sui blockchain where:
- Educators create and monetize content
- Learners access free education and earn certificates
- Employers find verified talent
- Everyone owns their achievements as NFTs
Why blockchain for education?
Traditional problems we solve:
- Fake certificates → Blockchain verification
- High course fees → Free access via sponsored transactions
- Centralized control → Community governance
- No content ownership → Creators own and earn from content
- Certificate has no value → NFTs with real utility
How is this different from Coursera/Udemy?
| Feature | SuiVerse | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Content Ownership | Creator owns forever | Platform owns |
| Revenue Share | 70-90% to creator | 15-50% to creator |
| Certificate Verification | On-chain, unfakeable | Database, can be faked |
| Governance | Community decides | Company decides |
| Access Cost | Free (sponsored) | $10-200 per course |
| Certificate Trading | Yes (NFT) | No |
| P2P Job Matching | Built-in | None |
