# Introduction EDU Chain is a blockchain and web3 educational platform that was created to solve inherent challenges and in doing so revolutionizing the education sector through blockchain technology.\ \ With the global market size for blockchain technology in education projected to grow from a mere $120 million today to [reach $3 billion by 2030](https://www.businessresearchinsights.com/market-reports/blockchain-in-education-market-102379), growing by over 40% year-on-year, there is a clear signal of a confluence of [macro trends](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10UlrkXNFodikh8RhTS8Uyxr3x_T1zu7DMTlerc8alYE/edit#heading=h.2tdquehmibj3) brewing under the surface. EDU Chain is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this sea change in the education sector, with Open Campus’ network of 50+ institutional partners and education companies reaching over 15M+ learners and over 100k learners actively using Open Campus ID.\ \ EDU Chain will usher in a new chapter for Open Campus, enabling it to monetize blockspace by selling it to other education institutions and developers. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
