1 week ago Thank you for submitting your proposal, and apologies for such a delayed response. Currently, there is already a substantial amount of educational material covering the ideas you’ve described, such as on TON Helloworld and the course available on Stepik. Additionally, much of this content is documented in TON Docs.
To move forward, we encourage you to propose a unique value proposition and include examples of how you plan to implement your ideas. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to seeing a more detailed approach from you!
Summary
Summary
This project aims to develop a DeFi-focused educational program within the TON ecosystem, promoting greater accessibility, economic empowerment, and skill development among underprivileged communities in Brazil. The course will equip participants with the knowledge and hands-on experience to build and deploy TON mini apps, enhancing their familiarity with decentralized finance and Web3 opportunities.
Context
Motivation:
Decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology offer significant potential for economic empowerment, particularly in underrepresented communities. However, there is currently limited access to high-quality, practical education on these topics. This project aims to address that gap by providing a structured program to teach DeFi and Web3 fundamentals, utilizing TON mini apps to make learning accessible, practical, and directly applicable within the TON ecosystem.
Purpose:
The purpose of this proposal is to collaborate with TON to deliver educational content on DeFi and the TON ecosystem to students from underprivileged communities, specifically former students from Nebula Web3. The program will introduce participants to Web3 concepts and provide hands-on experience in building TON mini apps, preparing them to take advantage of emerging digital finance opportunities.
Why Should TON Fund This Proposal?
This course will be held in Rocinha, where Nebula Web3 has a strong presence and established connections. By supporting this program, TON can make a tangible impact in the community, empowering residents through Web3 and DeFi education that creates new economic opportunities and fosters growth.
Impact:
This proposal seeks to directly impact underrepresented communities in Brazil by providing essential skills in DeFi and Web3. By doing so, TON will contribute to financial literacy and inclusion, equipping individuals with the tools needed to engage with and build within the TON ecosystem.
Alignment with Web3 Values:
Nebula’s mission aligns with the principles of decentralization, equality, and open participation in the Web3 space. Supporting this proposal reflects TON’s commitment to creating a more inclusive and accessible ecosystem by empowering underserved communities.
