How Coinbase’s Learn and Earn Program Works

Coinbase’s learn and earn is a great way to earn cryptocurrency for free, while also becoming familiar with the different types of cryptocurrencies. The main benefit of learn and earn programs is that although you do need to invest time into them in order to earn the cryptocurrency, that’s about all you need to invest to gain free cryptocurrency with a US dollar value. Many cryptocurrency exchange platforms and some other blockchain-based platforms have earn and learn programs as a way to encourage new users to use the platform.

Conversely, the cryptocurrencies offered are usually part of promotional campaigns for new or upcoming platforms as part of their marketing strategy. This means that they are not usually mainstream cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH,) but rather newer altcoins. Regardless, once received, that cryptocurrency can potentially be traded or staked for another cryptocurrency thereby acting as a doorway to trading and earning more cryptocurrency without actually risking any of your own initial capital.

3. Receiving the cryptocurrency reward
