This document proposes a protocol called Skillonomy that connects online education platforms to freelance job markets using blockchain technologies. It aims to address low student motivation and platform monetization issues in modern online education. Skillonomy would combine an open-source learning management system with freelance markets, offering economic incentives for students and coaches. It would track learning progress and skills acquisition using a native SKLT token on a blockchain, rewarding productive actions like course registration, reviews, and tasks. Revenue would come from fees on freelance work and a percentage of student salaries after education. The protocol aims to scale globally and compete with rising online education and gig economy platforms.
