We all know that the current educational system is broken and fails to develop the students' mind, aptitudes and affinities in an harmonious way. It also takes an important part of our lives. For example a person can become a fully licensed doctor only by his late 20s! That is around 10 years of hard work, studying and financial sacrifices,not taking into account 12-13 years spent in elementary school,general school and high-school.
MindLink aims to solve all these problems of the traditional superior education system and become the new standard in the e-learning industry!
The soul of MindLink will be the technology that makes waves all around the world these days - Blockchain! The team behind this project,which I will present in detail at the end of this blog, offers a convenient application that will act as a "superstructure" of our standard educational system.
I don't want to give you guys all the details here as you can read them in their whitepaper and materials,but instead I wanna give you an insight about this project.
MindLink Main Features
- Blockchain Implementation
- Intuitive User Interface
- Designer Tool
- No censorship(restrictions) on subjects approached
- Live interaction with teacher/mentor; group/conference e-learning
- Jump from registration to actual learning in minutes!
Blockchain Implementation
Through the utilization of smart-contracts MindLink will offer a lot of opportunities to universities, educational portals, teachers and to the corporate world as well.
Simple Use-Cases:
- Students’ courses might be paid by a recruiting company, only if student passes the certification successfully, or if he achieves more than certain amount of points;
- Each course that was finished successfully grants student a discount for consequent courses.
Intellectual property management is another important sector on this project's timetable. It is a known fact that the tracking of intellectual property is a very expensive process, but with the integration of blockchain technology even self-publishers will be able to track their publications and materials usage. Moreover with the help of smart-contracts you will be able to authorize someone to use your intellectual property for a fee. How cool is that? :)
Certifications:
- Identity-verification: Ability to verify identities of the issuer and certificate holder;
- Certificates tracking: Ability to verify the release process of certificates;
- Security: Digital signatures, special prints; Anti-forgery mechanisms
Intuitive User Interface
All users will be given the necessary tools and UI(user interface) to create their own courses and of course to access reading materials, video-trainings and engage in interactive activities like live discussions, online interactions & conference attendance. The developers put additional emphasis on the interface to be simple and intuitive for any kind of user.
Designer Tool
With an unique architecture it enables users to create trainings and all kind of courses and materials using the in-app online designer.

As you can see they are all young minds with a fresh perspective over the utilization of new technologies in the education field. They have all studied at prestigious universities and obviously they have relationships in this domain. However they have Jeremy Tan on their advisory board. Jeremy has at least an interesting background being a former worker in the Corporate Finance department at Goldman Sachs and now being the co-founder of a bitcoin mining company in Thailand, Veritas Mining Company.
As a matter of fact I have asked their team and they already have a partnership deal with one of the universities in Sweden! Moreover they stated that they are putting all their efforts "to create a decent number of respectable mentors and business coaches. Also they are constantly discussing partnerships with many other universities. Very exciting indeed!
They already met their Soft Cap of 2000 ETH(close to $2,000,000) from their private and pre-sale ICO stages. You can still contribute and get your hands on some ML Tokens in the main-sale, but keep in mind that there is a Hard Cap of 10.000 ETH.
How will the ML token gain value?
ML Tokens will be necessary in order to create and pay for courses,additional services and tools. They will be traded on major exchange platforms where potential platform users will be able to purchase tokens in order to use platform services.
MindLink has and will have much more partnerships and deals with different institutions and programs that will provide further exposure and value to MLs. This way there will be a constant demand and implicitly buy pressure on the market.

Hello. How are you?
Hey,Gina! I'm great,thank you! Are you into cryptocurrencies? Have you checked MindLink's project to change the traditional educational system?
No, I don't really understand crypto currency. I'm trying to watch some videos and read some articles about it but it's very confusing
It shouldn't be so confusing. It is more techy then we are used with fiat currencies,but we must accustom to this as it will most probably become a standard in all our industries and especially in the financial system. Here are two newbie friendly materials: https://www.upfolio.com/ultimate-bitcoin-guide https://www.upfolio.com/100-coins-explained
Please make an effort and understand bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as it will be a great investment in yourself. ;)
