## Problem We're Solving
EdTech is broken:
- Centralized platforms hide their models and charge unpredictable fees.
- Low-quality courses flood the market without accountability.
- Learners can’t prove what they know in the real world.
- Educators struggle to launch, monetize, or remix practical content.
---
## Our Solution: Only Nerds
A **decentralized AI-native LMS** where:
- **Courses can be forked** and remixed like Git repos.
- Learners follow **milestone-driven learning** with real exercises, not passive videos.
- AI tracks learning and **mints skill NFTs** as proof-of-knowledge (PoL).
- Community-curated creators replace review bombs with verifiable reputation.
- Post-course **bounty board** lets learners apply skills on real-world gigs.

## Features
| Feature | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| Forkable Courses | Creators build structured, multi-modal courses that others can fork + remix |
| AI Agents | LLM-based tutors guide learners, track milestones, and auto-evaluate submissions |
| Dynamic Skill NFTs | Each learning journey creates a unique on-chain skill map (non-transferable) |
| PoL System | Exercises + milestones validated by AI + community = verifiable skill claims |
| DAO Curation | No token spam — just community-reviewed reputations, like IMDb meets GitHub |
| ️ Gig Engine (WIP) | Peer-verified bounty board for project-based upskilling and hiring |
