Partnerships with OSS Projects: Bankless Academy collaborates with other open-source projects in web3 to create its educational modules. This symbiotic relationship not only promotes these projects as they are part of the essential infrastructure of the app, but also provides a platform where users can learn about and get involved in them.\n\n2. Hands-on Onboarding to Web3: the app serves as an educational gateway, introducing new users to decentralized technologies like Ethereum. By providing accessible, open content on how to navigate these systems, it helps users understand and adopt OSS tools and protocols and integrate them into their daily lives.\n\n3. High focus on decentralization: the dApp educates about the principles of decentralization, empowering users to move away from centralized platforms and embrace OSS alternatives.

Quizzes and Certifications: each module includes knowledge checks or short quizzes, which users need to pass to demonstrate their knowledge. Upon completion, users receive NFT certificates as proof of their learning, showcasing their progress onchain, an building reputation through their Explorer profile.\n\n4. Multi-Language Support: the platform is designed to be accessible to a global audience, offering lessons in multiple languages to lower barriers to entry for non-English speakers.\n\n5. Open-Source and Collaborative: Bankless Academy leverages the open-source model by implementing open source tools as part of its infrastructure and by publishing its own code so that others can build upon it. Contributors can submit content suggestions to improve the content.\n\n6. Real World Impact: professors have integrated the dApp as part o their students' curriculums, blockchain clubs use it for group learning, and digital communities are adding the dApp as a new step in their member/contributor journey.\n    \nThrough these features, Bankless Academy distinguishes itself as a free, comprehensive, community-driven platform designed to educate and engage the next generation of web3 users and contributors.", "hidden": true, "question": "What features or use cases does your dApp/App present?
