Presenting The district0x Education Portal

An information hub the for district0x network and the general blockchain ecosystem.

Earlier this year we introduced plans to create a hub for informational content both specific to the district0x network and the cryptocurrency ecosystem at large. It’s been our belief that the best way to drive deeper adoption in the space is by demystifying some difficult concepts to ultimately lower the barrier-to-entry for adoption. By offering free access to the information needed to understand this rapidly evolving space, we can focus on bringing in users on the outskirts of our network by clearly articulating the numerous benefits decentralization and the blockchain can offer. We hope to capture and inspire the real people that are mission critical to populating the user-facing dApps we‘re making as a community.

In accordance with this vision, we’re proud to present: The district0x Education Portal

A Look Inside

Upon entering the homepage users will be greeted with two core topics — district0x specific and general. The sections can also be toggled by a switch at the top of every module, or by navigating to the “Explore Topics” mega menu in the top left corner of the screen.

Inside you will find different subtopics, each with their own corresponding set of information modules. Each module is different, some are text based while others include a custom animated explainer video.

What’s Next

We like to think the Education Portal will never truly be complete, rather will exist an evergreen effort that will grow and expand over time with many more planned modules and new types of content in the future. The immediate focus will be improving the Understanding The Blockchain section by adding new modules that dive deeper into understanding the mechanisms of the blockchain and the functions of the distributed ledger. In addition, we have plans to add more material covering the areas of decentralization and governance.

We plan to release new modules monthly, so stay tuned to our blog for more updates as the year unfolds.

How It All Comes Together

Creating the Education Portal is a collaborative effort involving multiple graphic designers, animators, voiceover artists, and video experts to produce educational videos complete with handwritten scripts coupled with an entire new set of design assets for the district0x brand.

As such, we will be looking to our community members for feedback, advice on how to improve, and even content contributions to the module.

If you’re interested in helping out — please email pj@district0x.io or send us a message in Telegram or Twitter.

… and one last surprise

To celebrate the launch of the Education Portal we’ve created a scavenger hunt by hiding a few easter eggs (literally) inside the content modules.

The first 20 community members to locate the easter eggs will win district0x swag packs, complete with die-cut stickers and both custom t-shirt designs pictured above. Simply click on the egg to reveal the submit form.

HAPPY HUNTING!
