Flare and Uppercent Creating First NFT Marketplace for E-Learning Courses

On Feb 8, 2023

Flare, a blockchain network, has partnered with edtech start-up Uppercent to launch a revolutionary educational marketplace utilizing Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). These NFTs, which will be created on Flare, will serve as entry passes for students to access exclusive online courses taught by top high-achievers worldwide.

Uppercent Courses

Uppercent’s courses platform provides a unique chance for its members to purchase, sell, and trade access to courses delivered by renowned instructors, including business and mindset trainers, Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneurs, and social media influencers. The courses will cover a variety of subjects such as entrepreneurship, social media, and mindset development.

The platform’s launch will happen in phases, with the first courses and instructors to be announced in March. The official launch, where members can purchase and trade access passes to courses on the Uppercent marketplace, will occur later in the year.

Uppercent is disrupting e-learning by increasing accessibility and establishing a thriving secondary market for education, providing students and instructors with a more valuable e-learning experience at a lower cost than traditional education.

Hugo Philion, Flare’s Co-Founder and CEO, stated, “We’re excited that Uppercent has chosen Flare as the blockchain to power its innovative edtech products. As proponents of NFTs and user-generated content, we look forward to working with the Uppercent team to advance the online education market’s usability and utility.”

Jake Lee, Uppercent’s Founder and CEO, added, “We’re thrilled to have Flare join us in transforming e-learning from web2 to web3 and rebuilding the e-learning ecosystem. Flare’s interoperability protocols, especially the State Connector, will be critical in creating the first-ever secondary market for e-learning.”

Uppercent’s platform creates a community of individuals seeking personal growth and a marketplace for exchanging knowledge and accessing courses. Before the official launch, anyone who joins the project’s Discord community can receive free membership to Uppercent.
