Arbitrum Foundation supports EDU Chain as an education-focused blockchain

Open Campus, the decentralized education protocol, announced today it has received grant funding from the Arbitrum Foundation to support the upcoming launch of EDU Chain.

The EDU Chain blockchain is the first Layer 3 (L3) blockchain specifically designed for education. Through the grant, Open Campus will support the Arbitrum Ambassador Program with educational content initiatives and participate in Arbitrum hackathon competitions, offering incentives to developers who create decentralized apps (dapps) for EDU Chain. Some of the projects will be educational games.
