ODE is a ERC-20 standard token. However, the platform extends the use of token with several additional features.

It allows students to stake, for example, a desired program by committing some (not significant) amount of ODE. On the other hand, Educators stake courses they intend to teach. This approach helps the Platform in evaluating levels of student and educator interest in a particular program.

ODEM-Cs are digital certificates and given to users who successfully complete educational offerings.
