Keiko
Keiko is a decentralized educational social network, conceived in 2019 and programmed as a DApp (blockchain-based application), which will allow everyone to have a Life Learning Passport based on unforgeable micro-credentials registered on the blockchain (Polkadot or Starknet), rendering traditional university degrees and certifications obsolete.
This network will allow students, tutors, and educational content curators to connect with each other through a mobile app that not only provides access to this Life Learning Passport, but also integrates:- AI for self-study guides
- Geographic search for tutors and co-working spaces
- A two-way grading system
I am currently designing a 4-layer microservices architecture, using different technologies such as Flutter, Dart, Widgetbook, GraphQL, gRPC, Starknet/Cairo, Polkadot/Substrate, Redis Streams, REST API webhooks, among others.
