## What Is Student Coin (STC)?

Student Coin was as an educational project, founded in 2019 by students from the Kozminski University, Warsaw. Originally named "ALK Token," it aimed to explore blockchain's practical applications. By 2020, over 15,000 students from 500+ universities globally claimed free tokens, fostering blockchain education.

The project created the STC Academy, a place where users could educate themselves for free about the blockchain technology, which was then extended with a paid courses and called an STC University serving higher needs. The team, also build a platform called STC Terminal, where users could create their own tokens completing five simple steps. As the project evolved the team launched [Coinpaper.com](https://coinpaper.com), a crypto news portal, delivering daily news from the blockchain world to over 60,000 readers monthly.

## Why did the Student Coin close its project?

Despite the token's impressive growth, that sustained for more than two months in 2021, achieving such levels again seemed unfeasible. Increased spending on the development of the project and its products did not significantly impact the token's price, indicating unsustainable marketing dynamics. 

Moreover, the cryptocurrency landscape shifted towards speculation, putting Student Coin at a disadvantage in the face of strict legal standards. Ongoing legal uncertainty has hampered long-term planning, inhibiting initiatives such as the transformation of STC Wallet into a full exchange. 

Coupled with the pressure of community expectations and evolving visions, Student Coin decided to allow the repurchase of the $STC token to restore the decision-making power of our community, acknowledging the closure of the project with gratitude and professionalism.

## History Student Coin

Student Coin was initiated by a group of undergraduate students at Kozminski University in Warsaw, Poland, in 2019. Initially named "ALK Token," its primary utility was to explore blockchain capabilities, including sending, receiving, and converting tokens. The successful outcome of this experiment encouraged Student Coin team to pursue vision of imparting blockchain knowledge through practical application, leading to airdrops of the token to students at Kozminski University and other Polish universities. 

By the end of 2020, Student Coin reached more than 15,000 students from more than 500 universities around the world, enabling anyone with a valid student ID to claim free STC Tokens.

In the project's early stages, the team aimed to add substantial value to the $STC Token. STC Academy was established (called initially the STC Educational Panel), a comprehensive online resource covering blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and personal crypto security. Encouraged by the growing enthusiasm within the community, STC team sought funding to develop more sophisticated project elements, such as a wallet, exchange, and terminal, enabling students to create their tokens. A pre-launchpad at the end of 2020, pricing the token at USD 0.0025, significantly accelerated development, allowing STC to enlarge team and secure listings on Uniswap and the first centralized exchange.

February 2021 marked the beginning of the STC Launchpad, which expanded community from 20,000 to over 200,000 users and facilitated the sale of $STC Tokens at remarkable valuations. Which enabled to expand Student Coin business and technical teams and introduce additional projects under the Student Coin banner. The $STC Token was also listed on over ten exchanges, including major platforms like KuCoin, Bittrex, and Bithumb Global. 

By the end of 2021, Student Coin launched an upgraded version of the STC Wallet, introduced the STC Terminal for custom token creation, and established Coinpaper.com, a crypto news portal. 

In 2022. Student Coin upgraded the STC education panel to STC Academy and updated the STC Wallet into many new features. The team also revised some initial strategies, such as university tokens and crowdfunding support for startups. 

In 2023, Student Coin launched a STC University, an advanced version of the STC Academy offering comprehensive blockchain education and produced numerous educational videos about cryptocurrencies. Coinpaper experienced significant growth, with an active user increase rate of nearly 19,75% each month.

## When Was Student Coin Launched?

Student Coin was launched in 2019, and it was developed for over 5 years, in 2024 the project decided to close itself and proceed with a Studnet Coin token redemption buying back all of the tokens from STC users. 

## How did Student Coin Redemption Process Look?

STC token was traded on a lot of exchanges, including KuCoin. The team has met its roadmap targets, educating more than 210,000 users through its STC Academy and University platforms, and delivering information newsletters to over 60,000 readers each month.

The project used 100% of its resources to buy all tokens from its users, starting in April 9, 2024 proceeding with the redemption process for five years until 2029. 

All STC tokens will be burned and sent to: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD - the burn address at which all of the redeemed and repurchased $STC Tokens will be locked irreversible. The STC token was delisted from all of the exchanges. 

## What was the Student Coin Redemption Price?

Origin Protocol is one of Ethereum’s longest-standing DeFi projects, featuring a multichain feature set that unlocks vast opportunities for yield generation across the space. Origin’s products are built to be permissionless and composable, allowing for deep integration with novel primitives. All of Origin’s products streamline rewards to OGN stakers, cultivating a sustainable, user-first offering.

At its core proposition, Origin features:

Capital efficiency: Origin’s liquid staking products, Origin Ether and Origin Dollar, empower users to earn yield while retaining full capital control. The protocol’s unique Automated Redemption Manager (ARM) serves as a key liquidity hub for LST redemptions.

Vast composability: OETH’s robust peg and interoperability makes it an ideal building block for innovative DeFi strategies.

Broad access: Origin’s diverse integrations with partners such as EigenLayer and Pendle Finance, cater to power users and new entrants alike. Origin is built on core principles of seamless usability, cultivating one of the smoothest user experiences in the space.

Some of Origin Protocol’s key elements include:

Origin Ether (OETH): OETH is a leading liquid staking token that harnesses battle-tested mechanics to maintain a strong peg and vast composability for users. Users can mint OETH by depositing reserves of ETH. This ETH is staked to the Beacon Chain, with staking rewards distributed to users. OETH boasts broad DeFi integrations on ETH and leading Layer-2 networks.

Origin Dollar (OUSD): OUSD is a yield bearing stablecoin fully collateralized by reserves of USDT, USDC, and DAI. Users can deposit these stablecoins to mint OUSD, which generates yield. OUSD’s rebasing model automatically distributes rewards to holders’ wallets, removing the need for lockups and claiming rewards.

Automated Redemption Manager (ARM): The ARM is a groundbreaking platform that bolsters liquidity for redeemable assets, such as LSTs and LRTs. Users can take advantage of rapid redemptions for seamless swaps between leading LSTs and ETH with zero slippage.

Some of its key highlights include:

Versatile Utility: Origin’s product suite is deeply integrated across DeFi, allowing users to harness innovative instruments and opportunities. Origin Ether, for instance, is deeply integrated with the likes of Pendle and EigenLayer. Users can also take advantage of wOETH on leading L2 networks to explore more platforms and yield generating positions.

Transparent, best-in-class security: Both OUSD and OETH boast battle-tested, open-source codebases. Origin’s products have been rigorously audited by leading firms, including OpenZeppelin. Origin’s yield-generating products deliver yields without compromising on security, and feature rich analytics dashboards for users to monitor treasury flows and allocations.

Protocol Governance: Users can stake OGN for up to a year in exchange for non-transferable xOGN. xOGN accrues yield from a share of protocol fees earned by Origin’s products. xOGN holders can submit proposals, vote on active submissions, and vote on treasury allocations. This symbiotic structure creates a sustainable, rewarding governance system that upholds the core principles of decentralization.

World class team and investors: The project is led by serial entrepreneurs Matthew Liu and Josh Fraser, and seasoned team members from leading tech firms including PayPal, YouTube, Google, DropBox, etc. Origin has received backing from top investors such as Pantera Capital and Foundation Capital, as well as from individuals like Steve Chen, the founder of YouTube, and Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of Reddit.

Nimiq is designed to make cryptocurrencies easy to use for everyone without compromising decentralization. Nimiq is the only blockchain where users always participate directly by default. In comparison to the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum where the default is to use a third-party node to connect to the network. Learn more: https://youtu.be/dA40oyDVtqs

Team Nimiq invented Nimiq OASIS, the DeFi crypto-fiat bridge! Atomic swaps between crypto like NIM and BTC (ETH coming soon) and fiat currencies like EUR (USD next) with no personal information are now possible. Earned swap fees are converted to NIM and held to create scarcity. See how it works: https://youtu.be/Spp_Be4dHaM

Nimiq created Albatross, a new, super fast Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm that will launch with Nimiq 2.0, the next version of the Nimiq Blockchain. We expect ~1000 TPS and finality in one second, pushing Nimiq 2.0 to the theoretical limits of single chain blockchain protocols. Energy consumption will also be reduced to less than 1% (compared to current Nimiq POW) with this upgrade. Try out the demo: https://www.nimiq.com/albatross/

Nimiq’s “super-halving” coming soon! The transition to Nimiq 2.0 will reduce the emission rate from currently ~3000 NIM to only ~525 NIM per minute. Calculate your rewards using the Staking Calculator: https://www.nimiq.com/staking-calculator/
