Coinbase launched a giveaway program that aims to distribute 1 Billion XLM to US users. Each person can earn up to $50 while watching videos and learning about crypto.

The company declared the news on its Twitter profile, saying that any qualified US client can learn about the Stellar technology and get a reward of $10 to $50 worth of XLM. The source of these give away will be the Stellar Development Foundation fund.

Coinbase Adds Support for Stellar Paying Users to Learn About it

Coinbase which is one of the most innovative exchanges aims to dominate the blockchain sector. Back 2018 they acquired Earn.com as part of this plan. Earn.com gave Coinbase a large user base who complete simple tasks to earn cryptocurrency.

What is trying to do now is to transform these (get paid to do simple tasks) into “get paid to learn about crypto”. Now the Earn platform enables users to learn about various coins and at the same time earn cryptocurrency.

This week the company announced on their Twitter profile that they extended Coinbase Earn’s idea by including support for Stellar.
