As part of their mission to create an open financial system, Coinbase today launched Coinbase Earn.
This initiative by the exchange allows users to learn about cryptocurrencies while earning them as well.
The program was launched in invite-only mode today.
The announcement was part of the 12 Days of Coinbase series.
Making Blockchain More AccessibleCoinbase noted that blockchain technology would need to be made more accessible to create an open financial system.
Coinbase Earn will allow users to participate in the industry more.
In the announcement Coinbase stated:
“Coinbase Earn allows users to earn cryptocurrencies while learning about them in a simple and engaging way. The idea is for users to understand more about an asset’s utility and its underlying technology while getting a bit of the asset to try out.”
In order to manage demand, the program will launch in invite-only mode and will focus only on 0x Protocol (ZRX).
The exchange will add more content as well as other cryptocurrencies over time.
Who Gets to Learn and Earn With Coinbase?Users selected for the program will receive an invite for Coinbase Earn by email.
These users will be able to earn ZRX by taking short video lessons and quizzes.
The Coinbase Earn educational content is free for all and can be viewed by users who have not been sent an invite yet.
Users can also sign up on the waitlist to be notified of more educational tasks when they become available.
The initiative comes after a survey of Coinbase customers and non-customers regarding the biggest barriers that prevent people from exploring new assets.
The survey also found that people have a strong desire to learn about digital assets other than Bitcoin but didn’t know how to get started.
All the tasks on Coinbase Earn, therefore, will revolve around asset education.
Moreover, the initiative provides people a third alternative for earning cryptocurrencies apart from mining and buying.
The funding for this initial phase of the program comes from the 0x external development pool, and 100% of funds are given to users.
