Smart Contract Architecture

Automated Management System

module project_j::scholarship_system {
    struct ScholarshipListing has key, store {
        id: UID,
        nft_id: ID,
        owner: address,
        scholar: Option<address>,
        terms: ScholarshipTerms,
        performance: PerformanceMetrics,
        status: ScholarshipStatus
    }
    
    struct ScholarshipTerms has store {
        revenue_split: RevenueSplit,
        minimum_daily_games: u64,
        minimum_win_rate: u64,
        duration_days: u64,
        auto_renewal: bool,
        scholar_requirements: Requirements
    }
    
    struct RevenueSplit has store {
        scholar_percentage: u64,    // 3000 = 30%
        owner_percentage: u64,      // 5000 = 50%
        staking_percentage: u64,    // 1500 = 15%
        platform_percentage: u64    // 500 = 5%
    }
}

Matching Algorithm

AI-Powered Scholar Selection

Factors for Matching

def calculate_match_score(scholar, listing):
    score = 0
    
    # Experience match (30%)
    if scholar.games_played >= listing.min_experience:
        score += 30
    
    # Performance history (25%)
    score += min(25, scholar.win_rate * 0.5)
    
    # Availability match (20%)
    if scholar.daily_hours >= listing.required_hours:
        score += 20
    
    # Previous scholarship success (15%)
    score += scholar.reputation_score * 0.15
    
    # Geographic/timezone match (10%)
    if compatible_timezone(scholar, listing):
        score += 10
    
    return score

Reputation System:

• 5-star rating from owners
• Completion rate tracking
• Revenue generation history
• Community endorsements
