Why ICP powers this mission
ICP isn't a preference — it's the only infrastructure that simultaneously removes the seed-phrase barrier, the cost barrier, and the credential credibility gap for African learners.
Internet Identity
📅 Milestone 5Passwordless authentication — no seed phrase, no wallet install. Biometrics only.
Reverse-Gas Model
📅 Milestone 5The platform pays for computation. Learners pay nothing for canister interactions.
On-Chain Certificates
📅 Milestone 5Certificate hashes registered on the certificate_canister. Trustlessly verifiable.
ckUSDT Payments
📅 Milestone 4/5Mentor income in ICP's native stablecoin — no international wire fees.
Canister Hosting
📅 Milestone 5Distributed subnet hosting. No geographic infrastructure dependency.
15 Integration Points
✅ BuiltCodebase has 15 annotated ICP integration points ready for Milestone 5.
