HONG KONG, Dec. 23, 2025 — NetDragon Websoft Holdings Limited (“NetDragon” or “the Company”; Hong Kong Stock Code: 777), a global leader in building internet communities, is announcing its intention to invest in the AI-driven, globally co-created and shared, decentralized educational ecosystem Open Quest Academy (“Open-Q”), in exchange for the utility token Q101.

The Open-Q ecosystem made its debut during the Digital Learning Week, hosted by UNESCO at its Paris headquarters in early September this year. It has drawn widespread attention from senior UNESCO officials, education ministers of over 30 countries, as well as experts, scholars, seasoned educators, and educational content creators. Aligned with the global consensus on reimagining the future of learning, Open-Q is committed to building a next-generation educational ecosystem that advances equity, technology empowerment, and global collaboration. Open-Q brings together experts, teachers, and practitioners to collaborate on metaverse-based learning and teaching platforms. The ecosystem is rooted in three core principles: technology for equity, co-creation of resources, and incentive-driven participation.

Open-Q’s mission of global education equity closely aligns with UNESCO’s policy goals, as it provides open, high-quality digital learning resources that can be localized and adapted to the curriculum needs of specific regions. This approach helps advance global education equity and quality improvement, positioning Open-Q as a transformative open platform for teaching and learning in the digital era. Open-Q also aims to achieve shared governance among global users by building a decentralized and vibrant “Learn-and-Earn” community to incentivize and reward learners worldwide. By combining economic incentives with competency-based learning, it creates a virtuous cycle where learners gain market-relevant skills, educators receive recognition and compensation for creating high-quality content, and the entire community benefits from a continuously expanding shared knowledge base.

NetDragon has been deeply engaged in the online education sector since the early 2010s, accumulating extensive technical expertise, resources, and experience across areas such as digital textbooks, AI-powered courseware, virtual experiments, classroom SaaS solutions, interactive educational games, and—most importantly—the development and operation of national-level AI education platforms that integrate the aforementioned resources. Since 2025, NetDragon has further upgraded its strategy to “AI + Education”, enabling efficient production of high-quality AIGC educational content through its self-developed AI Content Factory. In the future, there is significant potential for strategic synergies between Open-Q and NetDragon, and the proposed investment in the Q101 token will further diversify the Company’s digital asset portfolio, with the potential to create substantial value for shareholders.
