Expand EVM support for $EDU Chain, a forthcoming L3 Rollup Chain on the Arbitrum Orbit Stack

[YonksTEAM]

NOTE: EDU chain is still in "Pre-Launch". This feature request is to spark interest within the Unlock-Protocol community and to hopefully add EDU chain support to Unlock's Roadmap for future inclusion.

Why $EDU Chain / Open Campus Protocol

Empowering educators, content creators, and students to transform learning.

Why I want to see Unlock Protocol add support for $EDU Chain

• We are Pre-Launching EDUchain.Club via EDU Chain Hackathon: Semester 1. This platform will be a "Best Practices" educational and resource hub for hyper-local clubs to form and organize with minimal efforts.
• Garnering support from college aged students is a proven formula for adopting lifelong users of products & services.
• We will be building OnchainBootcamp.com, a hybrid events format, using Unlock-Protocol. We would like to use EDU Chain for events surrounding academia.
