🚀Balance Cost, Competition, and Accessibility

Pricing your curriculum isn’t just about picking a number—it’s about striking the right balance between value, competitiveness, and accessibility. Price too high, and you risk discouraging potential learners. Price too low, and you might undervalue your expertise.

How Pricing Works on AnyCampus

As a Web3-based learning platform, AnyCampus supports three currencies across eight networks, providing learners with flexible payment options. Each blockchain network has its own ecosystem, and offering multiple payment options ensures accessibility.

On the pricing page, you must first set your price in ETH on Ethereum to establish a platform-wide pricing standard. After that, you can set prices in multiple currencies and networks to expand your reach and accommodate different user preferences.

Supported Currencies

• ETH – Ethereum’s native currency, offering decentralization and censorship resistance. However, its value fluctuates over time.

• USDC – A stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, offering price stability. Issued by Circle, a regulated financial entity.

• USDT – A widely used dollar-pegged stablecoin, similar to USDC, but backed by Tether’s reserves instead.

Which Currencies Should You Choose?

• Want a Web3-native experience and don’t mind price fluctuations? → Use ETH.

• Prefer price stability? → USDC or USDT are better options.

Supported Networks

Network	Type	Key Benefits	Trade-offs
Ethereum	Layer 1	The most decentralized and secure network.	Higher gas fees.
OP Mainnet & Arbitrum	Optimistic Rollups	Lower fees and faster transactions. Inherits security from Ethereum.	Includes a fraud-checking period for finalization.
Base & Ink	Optimistic Rollups (CEX-backed)	Easier onboarding from centralized exchanges (Base by Coinbase, Ink by Kraken).	Still inherits trade-offs of optimistic rollups.
Linea & Scroll	ZK-Rollups	Use Zero-Knowledge Proofs for instant transaction finalization. Cheaper and faster while maintaining security.	More complex technology.

Which Networks Should You Choose?

• Most decentralized & secure → Ethereum

• Low fees & widely used → OP Mainnet or Arbitrum

• Prefer CEX-backed networks → Base or Ink

• Want to attract ZK-rollup adopters → Linea or Scroll

How to Set the Right Price

Consider the Value of Your Curriculum

Before setting a price, evaluate:

• Depth & complexity – Advanced and niche curriculums can justify higher prices, while broad, introductory ones should be more affordable.

• Your expertise – If you’re an experienced creator, you can set premium prices. New creators may benefit from starting lower to attract enrollments.

Research Competitor Pricing

Learning from successful peers can help you price your curriculum effectively:

• If your curriculum is shorter or covers foundational topics, price it competitively.

• If it offers specialized expertise, unique insights, or advanced training, you can set a higher price.

Popular curriculums on AnyCampus typically range from $20 - $50.

Beware of ETH Fluctuation

Because ETH is the base currency on AnyCampus, market fluctuations can impact your curriculum’s perceived value:

• If ETH drops, your curriculum may appear cheaper, attracting more enrollments but reducing fiat earnings.

• If ETH rises, your curriculum may become more expensive, potentially discouraging price-sensitive learners.

How to Mitigate ETH Price Fluctuations

• Monitor ETH trends – Adjust pricing if extreme fluctuations occur.

• Offer stablecoin pricing – USDC/USDT ensures consistency.

• Set a buffer – Price slightly higher if ETH is volatile to offset downturns.

• Check competitor pricing – Compare ETH and USD equivalents to stay competitive.

Factor in Gas Fees

Every blockchain transaction requires gas fees—a small payment made to network validators to process transactions. These fees vary based on network congestion and demand. Ethereum mainnet fees are higher due to its strong security and decentralization, whereas Layer 2 networks offer lower-cost transactions by processing them off-chain.

On AnyCampus, learners pay these gas fees when purchasing your curriculum. This means they pay more than the actual price displayed, so it’s important to factor gas fees into your pricing strategy.

If you want to mitigate the effect of gas fees:

• Offer payments on Layer 2 networks

• Monitor gas prices and adjust pricing accordingly
