HTX Ventures
Singapore, December 20, 2023 — HTX Ventures, the global investment division of the cryptocurrency exchange HTX, announces its investment in Academic Labs, a platform that utilizes AI and Web3 technology to improve the educational experience. This investment will help Academic Labs onboard new users to Web3 and incentivize native users to engage in education through its native token and NFT systems. Academic Labs is an innovative online education platform built on cutting-edge Web 3.0 technology. Its mission is to revolutionize the way people learn and provide a transparent and equitable learning environment that addresses the education gap and empowers learners with greater access to top-quality educational resources. Academic Labs teaches vital skills like software development, trading strategies, business English, and startup foundations, and employs Adaptive AI to gamify practical learning. The platform is forging strategic partnerships in technology and education to refine the learning process, going beyond traditional testing methods to offer a more immersive and effective study experience. Edward Chen, Managing Partner of HTX Ventures, said, “Academic Labs has transformed the educational sector through the incorporation of Web3 and AI technology. HTX Ventures is committed to invest in projects that facilitate the widespread adoption of Web3. The importance of crypto education cannot be overstated, and the educational industry holds great potential for onboarding large volumes of new users to Web 3.” Terry Tan, CEO of Academic Labs, expressed his gratitude for the support from HTX Ventures. “The backing from HTX Ventures is a clear endorsement of the foresight and innovation inherent in the Academic Labs project,” he remarked. “We are honored to receive recognition from a Web3 powerhouse and are excited for the upcoming debut of our education platform.” Academic Labs aims to address significant challenges in the education sector, including the lack of motivation for producing and engaging with quality educational content, the issue of academic fraud in traditional Web2 education systems, and inefficiencies in acquiring and applying practical knowledge and skills. To tackle these issues, Academic Labs is rolling out three innovative Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): Learner NFT, Achievement NFT, and Educator NFT. The Learner NFT grants access to educational content and adopts a transparent, value-based pricing structure. As learners progress, these NFTs are converted into Achievement NFTs, authenticating educational achievements and offering rewards in the platform's native token, $AAX. The Educator NFT, meanwhile, enables fractional investment in educators' content, encouraging the creation of high-quality material. The upcoming product launch of Academic Labs will reveal the innovative features of this cutting-edge educational platform to a worldwide audience, with exciting events on the horizon.
