The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is that it will reskill those being displaced by the disruption caused by the impending AI and automation that is sweeping every industry. By providing training and fully integrated career services platforms at significantly lower cost than traditional models, Expercoin Republics will make education more accessible to organizations seeking to upskill their employees and professionals looking to reskill. According to Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen, 50% of all American colleges are bound for bankruptcy in the next few decades. Due to the rapid pace of technological change and new employment requirements, we are moving away from credentialing to continuous learning. This project will allow organizations of all kinds to use its protocol to create expert networks and content platforms, while leveraging tokens to reward participation among their users. 400 to 800 million people globally need to be reskilled. This is estimated to translate to $8.5 trillion in unrealized revenue due to lack of talent by 2030.This SBIR Phase I project proposes to embrace a novel intellectual approach and business model that empowers employees and employers through upskilling, continuous learning, and skill verification. The mission of Expercoin Republics is to instantly allow anyone to create a specialized community with marketplaces for training, assessments, mentorship and work opportunities. Expercoin will use blockchain to create decentralized autonomous organizations that advance learning and facilitate employment through the creation of thousands of specialized learning communities. A notable achievement of Expercoin would be to create the underlying infrastructure that helps businesses and governments launch learning economies that consist of self-regulated decentralized entities with features such as transparent voting, effective governance, fraud adjudication, spam prevention, account verification and rewards. An Expercoin token will provide a wide range of functions necessary to create a decentralized economy that is not governed by any central authority.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个小企业创新研究（SBIR）项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力在于，它将重新培训那些因即将到来的人工智能和自动化所造成的破坏而被取代的人，这些破坏正在席卷每个行业。通过以比传统模式低得多的成本提供培训和完全集成的职业服务平台，Expercoin Republics将使寻求提高员工技能的组织和寻求重新技能的专业人士更容易获得教育。根据哈佛商学院教授克莱顿克里斯滕森的说法，在未来几十年内，50%的美国大学将面临破产。由于技术变革和新的就业要求的快速发展，我们正在从资格认证转向持续学习。该项目将允许各种组织使用其协议来创建专家网络和内容平台，同时利用令牌来奖励用户的参与。 全球有4亿到8亿人需要重新培训。据估计，到2030年，由于缺乏人才，这将转化为8.5万亿美元的未实现收入。SBIR第一阶段项目提出采用一种新颖的智力方法和商业模式，通过提高技能、持续学习和技能验证来增强员工和雇主的能力。Expercoin Republics的使命是立即允许任何人创建一个专门的社区，提供培训，评估，指导和工作机会。Expercoin将使用区块链创建分散的自治组织，通过创建数千个专业学习社区来促进学习和促进就业。Expercoin的一个显着成就是创建底层基础设施，帮助企业和政府启动学习型经济，这些经济由自我监管的分散实体组成，具有透明投票，有效治理，欺诈裁决，垃圾邮件预防，帐户验证和奖励等功能。Expercoin代币将提供广泛的必要功能，以创建一个不受任何中央机构管辖的去中心化经济。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
