📰 Decentralized Student Tech News Platform

A Web3-based tech news platform where students share, verify, and discuss tech-related news without centralized control. Articles are stored permanently on IPFS/Arweave, and credibility is determined by a DAO-based community voting system.

🎯 Features & How It Works

1️⃣ Student Authentication (EduChain Wallet Login)

🔹 Students log in with blockchain wallets (EduChain-based).

🔹 This ensures anonymous, censorship-free contributions without relying on a central authority.

2️⃣ Student-Driven Tech News Submission

🔹 Students submit tech news articles on AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, software updates, etc.

🔹 Articles are stored on IPFS/Arweave, ensuring permanent, tamper-proof storage.

🔹 Instead of real names, articles are linked to Decentralized Identities (DIDs).

3️⃣ Decentralized Fact-Checking & Community Voting (DAO Model)

🔹 The community votes on article credibility using a DAO governance system.

🔹 News gets a trust score, and flagged misinformation is reviewed.

🔹 Students earn or lose reputation points (tokens) based on their contributions.

4️⃣ Reward System for Writers & Readers

🔹 Writers earn crypto tokens or NFTs when their articles are verified as credible.

🔹 Readers earn tokens for engagement (reading, voting, flagging fake news).

🔹 A donation/tipping system lets users support student journalists.

5️⃣ No Centralized Censorship

🔹 Since content is stored on IPFS/Arweave, no government or corporation can delete or manipulate tech news.

🔹 The community, not a single entity, controls the platform through DAO governance.

💡 Business Model & Monetization

🔸 Freemium Model: Basic article submission is free, but premium features (highlighted articles, analytics, etc.) require a small fee in EduChain tokens.

🔸 Sponsored Content: Companies can promote their tech updates through verified paid posts, which are clearly labeled.

🔸 Token Economy: The platform uses a native token for rewards, governance, and premium features.

🔸 Tech Community Partnerships: Partner with universities, hackathons, and edtech platforms to promote credible student-led tech journalism.
