Today, we would like to feature STU as our chosen Coin of the Week to explain what creates the outstanding performance of STU on QRYPTOS in the past weeks.

Problems that the coin seeks to address

The STU economy and bitJob platform seek to solve an age-old problem: gainful student employment. Most of us have dealt with the “education vs experience” dilemma; one must have both education and experience in order to vie for meaningful jobs. However, it is difficult to obtain relevant paid work experience without completing said education. This is where bitJob comes in. The team intend to provide meaningful and relevant work experience to students via our revolutionary platform, helping students gain valuable work experience and build their resumes.

How the token (currency) help in that process?

The STU token economy, built on the Ethereum blockchain, is a decentralized and low-cost solution for student payment. Besides facilitating the payment of students on the platform, students can exchange funds peer-to-peer and purchase goods and services from the marketplace. The team envision a one stop shop solution, specifically tailored to the needs of students around the globe. They believe providing an easy to use token economy for students will foster widespread adoption, which is beneficial to the entire sphere.

Business model description

The team’s plan for scaling transactions as this is probably the biggest problem in the Crypto ecosystem?

The use of the Ethereum blockchain is our first step towards scaling solutions, as we have found Ethereum the most mutable blockchain. Given the attention focused on development, we believe Ethereum will provide the best opportunity for rapid implementation of scaling solutions as they emerge. With that being said, we are also considering new solutions and on the hunt for new technologies to maintain our platform transactions module. We believe that solutions like Raiden and Lightning and similar networks will be strong enough in the near future for massive usage, determined by how soon and stable those protocols will prove to be.
