Vision

Educational access suffers from opaque fund flows and currency volatility. EduToken provides a transparent "trust layer" for donors, schools, and parents by combining Soroban smart contracts, stablecoins, and on-chain credentialing.

• For donors: on-chain proof and traceability of funds.
• For schools: automated invoicing and reduced admin overhead.
• For parents: stable-value payments and digital receipts.

Key Features

• Transparent scholarship pools with conditional releases (Proof of Enrollment).
• Stablecoin support (USDC, PYUSD) to protect value.
• On-chain, non-transferable enrollment receipts issued via Stellar.
• Decentralized invoice dashboard for schools to bill parent wallets.

Tech Stack

• Smart Contracts: Soroban (Rust)
• Frontend: Next.js (TypeScript) + Tailwind CSS
• Backend / Indexing: Go
• Blockchain: Stellar Network
• Wallets: Freighter, Albedo

Architecture

1. EduVault (Soroban): escrow for scholarship and fee funds.
2. Anchor Interface: integrations with Stellar Anchors for fiat on-/off-ramps.
3. Verification Engine: validates school credentials and triggers contract releases.

Quick Start

These steps get you up and running locally with the minimal environment.

Prerequisites

• Git
• Node.js (18+), pnpm or npm
• Rust + cargo (for Soroban contracts)
• Soroban SDK/CLI (for building/deploying contracts)
• Go (for backend services)

Clone and install

git clone https://github.com/BigJohn-dev/EduToken-.git
cd EduToken-
# frontend
cd frontend && pnpm install
# contracts (Rust / Soroban)
cd ../contracts && cargo build

Local run (example)

# Start the frontend
cd frontend && pnpm dev

# Build contracts
cd ../contracts && cargo build

Notes: specific commands and scripts may be added as the monorepo matures.

Development

• Branching: feature branches with descriptive names (feature/..., fix/...)
• Commit style: small, focused commits; reference issues where applicable
• Tests: add unit and integration tests for contracts and backend services

Roadmap (high-level)

• Phase 1: Foundation — deploy basic Vault contract, MVP school invoice dashboard, wallet integrations
• Phase 2: Transparency — donor tracking dashboard, automated Proof of Enrollment minting
• Phase 3: Scale — integrate local anchors, mobile apps for parents
