Cryptocurrencies, NFTs, metaverses, blockchains and more: what we now call “web3”, can be a challenging and complex proposition at the best of times.

There is a lot to learn for would-be investors, and for a long time - years in fact - a lack of “accessibility” was seen as a major obstacle to crypto going mainstream.

Thankfully, various people, projects, and other change-makers have committed to publishing paid and free educational resources to address this accessibility challenge and make crypto easier to understand for people like you and me. 

Below we’ll highlight some of the best educational resources for anyone seeking to learn more about crypto.

  3. Earn crypto rewards: Upon successfully completing the learning materials, you receive a small amount of the featured cryptocurrency directly into your Coinbase account.

Coinbase Learn & Earn is free to participate in: No upfront investment required. It is easy to understand with simple learning materials suitable for beginners across a variety of cryptocurrencies. The rewards are typically small, but can help holders learn and can add up over time.
