Academy and User Education
DraftStatus: Draft Version: 0.1.0 Last Updated: 2026-05-16 Owner: Axodus DeFi / Academy
Purpose
DeFi users must understand risk before interacting with DeFi products. Academy supports adoption through educational paths, risk modules, Proof of Knowledge, and product-specific onboarding.
Education Topics
Topics include wallets, transactions, gas, protocols, custody, smart contract risk, market risk, liquidity risk, oracle risk, bridge risk, APY variability, lockups, rewards, slashing where relevant, AMMs, LP tokens, impermanent loss, slippage, vault deposits and withdrawals, DaaS service models, governance, reporting, and ETF-oriented design limitations.
Access Education Requirements
Low-risk products may require basic disclosure. Medium-risk products should require product guides and risk acknowledgement. High-risk products should require Academy modules, Proof of Knowledge, and user confirmation. Critical products may require restricted access, formal review, and governance or treasury approval.
User Confirmation Fields
Confirmations should capture user or wallet reference, product identifier, completed education, disclosure version, confirmation that no yield is guaranteed, confirmation of protocol and smart contract risk, confirmation of liquidity or lockup risk where relevant, and timestamp.
Risk Considerations
Education does not eliminate risk. It helps users understand what they are doing before connecting wallets, depositing assets, accepting APY assumptions, or interacting with strategies.
