I’ve seen this name come up a few times as a blockchain resource and thought maybe I would check it out.

Looks like they are building a Learnaverse which is going to be a metaverse for leaving about blockchain. You can level up with XP points and Certificates and brag to freinds.

The first course I enrolled in was the one below so I can stake my polygon and Sand coins on the Sandbox. I was able to complete this pretty quickly and the lecture was very helpful.

I liked the gamification UX feedback loops within the course. Gave me a little sense of accomplishment! I’m not sure what any of this does or means but happy to claim these ‘loot boxes’.

I learned a few things in this course about test networks and how to send myself test coins for development purposes - An important learning/building tool.

Another good guide I used in conjunction with this bit degree course.

These are the bitdegree courses I have signed up for, at least for now!
