All over the internet you can find tutorials about how to earn crypto easily. Most of the time, the only thing that you are going to do is waste your time.
Doing faucets is the most common way to earn cryptos online. But what is it and why would they give you cryptos for free ? In fact you are the counterpart, nothing is really free... EVER !
We understand why easily when we look at a typical faucet page. In our daily life, we are constantly exposed to ads, but a faucet page is something else...
So, to sum up the experience with faucets, you log on a web page filled with ads where you can complete several tasks. To earn extra you can visit websites, play games or even watch videos.
To be clear, I'm not entirely against ads. I truly believe ads can have an impact in people habits without saturating their mind.
Basic Attention is one of the most interesting crypto project I've been following so far. Not only because of the possibility to earn crypto in a passive way, but because of the vision they're carrying.
Giving back the control of the privacy to the user
They are plenty of articles about BAT, I'm not going to dig into it right now ! I'll just drop my download link here : My beautiful download link
This article is about learning.
What if we could earn cryptos while learning about the projects ?
If we look back, that was the first goal of faucets ! Nowadays, it lost this purpose and it's just a way to put people in front of an advertising billboard.
I told you, this article is about learning, and because learning about crypto projects was dead with faucets, someone had to step in !
That's where Coinbase walked in and bought Earn.com.
The CTO from Coinbase explains the will behind this :
Now, let's dive in the website.
Despite the catchy slogan showed up here, the project is really about learning !
Before explaining my favorites cryptos projects displayed on Coinbase Earn, there are several things you need to know.
Okay, yes you can earn units of the crypto you're learning about, but there are two conditions :
- You need to sign up for a Coinbase account (Free of course) -> Link to earn 10$ when signing up : LINK
- Earning the corresponding crypto is not guaranteed, you may need to join the waiting list or get an invitation (Invitations below !)
- But if you're still here, I suppose that's because you care about the projects and not only about the free cryptos !
The projects
I'm not going to review all the projects, if you want to see them all, just go to Coinbase Earn official website !

Brave is on a mission to fix what it believes is a broken web. Learn about Brave and you'll earn the Basic Attention Token (BAT).
Brave is one of my first and favorite projects. In fact, that's because I use the Brave Browser on a daily basis at work and also at home. The strengths, the weaknesses and the evolutions of the project are tangible and it is a lot easier to believe in something you can see.
