Welcome to Pody Network, your Web3 alternative to traditional virtual meeting platforms like Google Meet and Twitter Spaces. By using our services, you agree to the terms outlined below. These terms govern the use of Pody's features, rewards, and functionality, ensuring a secure and decentralized experience for all users.

• Platform Overview

  Pody Network is a decentralized platform designed for virtual classrooms. We offer unique features such as:

  2D Classrooms: Enjoy interactive, virtual environments tailored for education. Meet-to-Earn: Earn rewards for participation in real-time. NFT Passport: A unique, blockchain-based identity for participants. Private and Secured: Focus on privacy with decentralized data protection.

• Earning Points and Rewards

  • Meet-to-Earn:

    Students on Pody Network are rewarded based on the time they spend in virtual classrooms. Points are calculated in real-time using a hash rate per second system. The longer you participate in a session, the more points you accumulate. However, final point calculations are made when you leave the classroom or the session ends.

  • Teacher Rewards:

    Teachers (hosts) receive an additional 10% of the total points earned by all participants in their classrooms. This bonus is calculated at the end of the session or when students leave. These points reflect engagement and participation, enhancing the rewards system for both students and hosts.

  • Earning Power Boost:

    By minting more NFTs directly from the Pody dashboard, users can boost their point-earning capabilities.

• Loyalty Points and Their Use

  All points earned on Pody Network should be viewed as loyalty points. While these points may provide various in-platform benefits or be redeemed in certain cases, they do not guarantee monetary value. Points are tracked in real-time, but due to technology limitations such as network delays, the final points calculated may differ slightly from those displayed during the meeting.

• Host Management and Control

  Hosts have access to advanced management features, allowing them to:

  • Grant speaking privileges to participants.
  • Remove students from the classroom.
  • Schedule sessions for later if not ready to start immediately.
  • Track real-time earning statistics for better classroom management.

• NFT Passport and Decentralization

  Pody Network utilizes an NFT Passport, a decentralized digital identity that secures your participation on the platform. Each NFT represents your unique profile on the blockchain, making the classroom environment decentralized and tamper-proof. Your participation, rewards, and engagement are all verifiable and secure.

• Data Privacy and Security

  Pody Network respects your privacy. The platform does not store or track any personal data outside of necessary information like your wallet address and username. All interactions within the classroom are private, and no meeting content is recorded. Any information collected is used solely for maintaining the platform's functionality and performance.

  You are bound by LiveKit's Privacy Policy, as it governs certain aspects of the Pody Network experience.

• Technology Limitations and Discrepancies

  While Pody Network strives to offer the best real-time experience, there may be occasional technical limitations, such as:

  • Network Delays: Points may be displayed inaccurately during meetings due to real-time calculation limitations.
  • Technology Glitches: Points may differ slightly when recalculated after the meeting ends. In all cases, the final points awarded at the end of the session will be the accurate reflection of your participation.

  Pody Network is constantly evolving. Our development roadmap includes:

  • Launching new features like enhanced reward systems.
  • Implementing Mainnet Deployments to further decentralize our platform.
  • Introducing tokenomics to align incentives for all users.
