Education has always promised opportunity, but for many learners and educators, that promise feels out of reach. High course fees, rigid centralized platforms, and the lack of recognition for micro-skills leave countless people locked out of growth. Peerverse was born to change that, by making learning not only more accessible but also more engaging, rewarding, and community-owned.
Rethinking Learning With Web3
Built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), Peerverse is a decentralized peer-to-peer learning platform where students, professionals, and educators connect directly. Learners can join live sessions, micro-classes, and community Q&As, while earning on-chain credentials that travel with them for life.
But what truly sets Peerverse apart isn’t just decentralization; it’s gamification. Unlike platforms such as Coursera or Udemy, which often feel like static catalogues of courses, Peerverse is designed to make education interactive and fun. Learners track progress through milestones, earn tokenized incentives for participation, and build reputation scores that reflect their journey. Every step feels like unlocking a new level, keeping learners motivated while ensuring that education remains meaningful.
As Founder & Lead Developer, Adeleke Michael Olamide, explains:
“We believe people learn best when they’re not just consuming content but actively participating in a community. Gamification allows us to transform education from a chore into a rewarding adventure, where every effort is recognized and every milestone counts.”
Why is this Important
Traditional e-learning platforms often fail to recognize small but significant learning achievements. Peerverse flips this model by ensuring that every contribution, whether answering a peer’s question, teaching a micro-class, or completing a session, is verifiable, portable, and rewarded. For students and educators in regions where access to affordable, recognized learning is limited, this approach can be life-changing.
The Team Behind the Vision
Peerverse is powered by a committed team blending technical, strategic, and community expertise:
- Adeleke Michael Olamide – Founder & Lead Developer
- Ogbonna Uche Samuel – Business Strategist
- Ayonehteh Onimisi Joshua – Community & Growth Manager
They are joined by Abuza Obed Trust, a mentor and entrepreneur, who brings the invaluable perspective of a student navigating the challenges of learning in today’s world.
What's Coming...
Currently preparing for beta launch, Peerverse is focused on building its token reward system, educator onboarding, and governance features. Their vision is to scale into a global hub for decentralized learning and skill verification, where millions of learners and educators can connect without borders.
The team acknowledges the challenges, like funding, user onboarding, and regulatory uncertainty around on-chain credentials, but sees them as opportunities to refine and strengthen their mission.
An EdTech startup that is borderless
Peerverse isn’t positioning itself as just another EdTech startup. It’s a movement, one that aims to democratize education and leave behind a borderless, gamified, community-owned ecosystem where learning is accessible to all.
For now, interested learners, educators, and contributors can join Peerverse’s growing grassroots community on X (@sorbadek) or via email (madeleke035@uniport.edu.ng) to test features and help shape the platform’s future.
The team, in summary, describes Peerverse not just as an educational system but as a fun, fair learning process and a forever-yours certifying system.
