The Skill Exchange Protocol
We are building a decentralized economy for knowledge, where skills are the only currency that matters.
The Gatekeeper Problem
Traditional education is walled off by tuition fees, geography, and institutional gatekeepers. We believe that everyone is an expert at something, from quantum physics to sourdough baking. The problem isn't a lack of knowledge; it's a lack of connection.
The Barter Solution
Skloop removes the financial barrier entirely. By returning to a barter economy model, we democratize access to high-quality mentorship. You pay with your time and expertise, not your wallet.
Define what you can teach and what you need to learn.
Our protocol finds the perfect peer who completes your loop.
Exchange knowledge directly. Verify and build reputation.
Loop Mechanics
A "Loop" is a confirmed exchange session between two peers.
| Exchange Type | Description | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Direct Swap | Person A teaches B, Person B teaches A. | 0.00 |
| Async Pool | Earn credits by teaching, spend credits to learn later. | 1 Credit |
Proof of Skill (PoS)
Reputation in Skloop is non-transferable and earned only through verified successful exchanges. Your "Score" is a mathematical proof of your helpfulness to the network.
