Fundamentals

NABU Fundamentals

problems-graphic
Quality

14 months of research and design, all founding members are current/past students of the US higher education system. Each member has a specialized skill that is pertinent to the success of Nabu including Finance, Business Management, Economics, Development, and Legal. Nabu was created to give students better options.

Integrity

All members have actively researched the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. The members have a combined experience of 7+ years and continue to follow as new developments arise across the globe.

Innovations

Through the development of blockchain, tokens will be tradable between platforms. As more platforms bring finance to the more than 2 Billion individuals currently without, Nabu will have the connections to give them the opportunity to attend accredited institutions.

Safety

Nabu is dedicated to the education sector. All parties involved will have to work together in order for the system to thrive. Bad actors will be punished and good actors will be rewarded. Together, the community will build itself to a sustainable system and ultimately remove obstacles in education.

Solution

Problem & Solution

Problem

Tuition for education is extraordinarily, if not prohibitively, expensive.

The financial burden of higher education is cumbersome. In the United States alone, there are currently over 44 million borrowers carrying an aggregate of $1.5 trillion in student loan debt. The average student in the Class of 2016 has $37,172 in debt. Approximately 15.7 million student loan borrowers are in student loan repayment, and approximately 10 million of these student loan borrowers are in student loan deferment, student loan forbearance or student loan default.

Solution

Nabu will reduce or eliminate the burden of high tuition by creating a token and associated ecosystem in the education sector.

Nabu will be used to pay for tuition credit hours, books, supplies, and other costs associated with education.

There will be a token that is the centerpiece of the entire Nabu platform (The Nabu Token). Version 1.0 of the Nabu platform will be a standard mobile app that uses Nabu’s decentralized token. Version 1.0 will be Android and iOS compliant and enable students to afford tuition fees in a seamless, safe, secure, and decentralized manner with minimal transaction cost.

NABU Platform

NABU Platform

Ecosystem for overcoming the high tuition fees in education.
A community for making the education experience deliver stronger outputs
while also giving students the capability to pay for high tuition fees.

Nabu will create five separate wallets – government, investor, academic institutions, students, as well as a general public wallet. A general ledger that displays payments made from a student to an institution will record all transactions. Parties will be named for ease of identification.

A Nabu landing site will enable each party to create its respective wallet and then buy or sell Nabu tokens using ETH, ERC20 and Fiat.

Version 2.0 will be a decentralized autonomous organization (the “Nabu DAO”). The Nabu team will decide whether to adopt Ethereum, EOS or another smart contract enforcing platform as Nabu’s blockchain backbone. Any of these platforms will enable Nabu to use self-enforcing smart contracts to reinvent the existing education and tuition paradigm. When Version 2.0 is launched, Nabu will cease to exist, and the system will be run by the Nabu DAO.

NABU Token

The Nabu token will be implemented on the Ethereum blockchain as a decentralized ERC20 token.

The Nabu token will be available for trade on different exchanges, and the general public/students/institutions can purchase or sell them. The token will be given to university students based on their performance in a semester. These students will use their Nabu tokens to pay for expenses associated with the university experience. As a semester progresses, professors will input grades into their online gradebook and simultaneously, a smart contract will calculate the commensurate number of tokens to be sent to the student’s wallet. This will lower grade inflation and will actively grade institutions fairly for current/future students.

700 billion tokens created at genesis. Supply not capped until an equilibrium is obtained. Deflationary, as tokens from curation will be used to purchase tokens from EtherDelta or other approved exchange and burned.

Joshua Neumann
Founder

Creation of Nabu: Josh earned educational benefits after serving in the Air Force. Before he started a new semester at the University of Oklahoma he lost his job. The benefits received from Veteran’s Affairs included a housing allowance as well as full tuition assistance. Even though he could still afford his education, losing his job really opened his eyes to the burden associated with education. It made him question how the average student was able to afford books, supplies, and tuition while working two or more jobs and affording normal survival expenses. Through his realization, Josh wanted to make education more affordable. Nabu is the solution.
