There are so many FREE resources to help you learn in crypto right now. Whether you want to get a job in web3 or are just trying to get more educated in general, here are some resources & online classes to gain expertise in crypto absolutely free:
@unicmetaverse MOOC Meta-511 NFTs AND THE METAVERSE -
IMO the most impressive and valuable course on NFTs & metaverse right now. Lead by @punk6529 and including lectures from @4156, @yatsiu, @chrisdixon, @snowfro...there are too many to list. The class is 4-5 lectures in, but is the first free, fully on chain class from a university that has been teaching crypto for 10 years with lectures from the most prominent figures in the industry. The course was a free NFT mint, but you can find them on OpenSea for $5
@ZenAcademy_
@Zeneca's educational community that provides basic knowledge and easy-to-learn concepts to help onboard anyone into web3. His vibes are so welcoming the websites music immediately lowers your cortisol level. The membership NFT isn't free (.3 ETH), BUT he has a discord, educational docs on the website, a youtube channel, and his 30 days of NFTs email list provides one digestible bite of information per day, check it out here -https://30daysofnfts.com/
@AlchemyLearn by @AlchemyPlatform
One of the most successful crypto infrastructure companies of the last few years, Alchemy’s founders landed on Forbes 30 under 30 list and their team hails from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Stanford, and MIT. Alchemy University provides free courses on Javascript fundamentals, an Ethereum dev bootcamp, and a web3 dev program called 'Road to Web3'. You'll learn how to build a smart contract, create an NFT gallery, use cryptography, and build your own dApp.
@web3university https://www.web3.university/
Born from the collaboration between @AlchemyPlatform, @0xPolygon, @opensea, @PanteraCapital, @arbitrum, @optimismFND and more. This website includes high-quality lessons on building an erc-20 token, DAOs, developing on Solana, learning solidity, and a lot more.
@rabbithole_gg is so impressive and I love this concept. You can go onto rabbithole 🐇 🕳️ and complete courses or use dApps to earn verifiable credentials. Sometimes called learn-to-earn some lessons will even reward you with crypto.
@encodeclub - a full curriculum and event series teaching blockchain (I don’t have experience with this one but have had it bookmarked for a while). You might have to apply, but you can learn solidity for free. Pretty good tradeoff 🤷♂️
Not a formal course, but @finematics YouTube channel is an amazing cache of well-explained educational videos that helped me understand basic to advanced concepts in crypto https://www.youtube.com/c/Finematics
There are plenty more online courses, videos, podcasts, and 'learn & earn' platforms out there. Binance, coinbase, Phemex, and Coinmarketcap all have educational content online for free.
Hopefully this thread helps aggregate some of the educational materials and platforms that took me a while to find 😅. Crypto is complicated and we have a ways to go to make it easy to use, but there's a lot of free education out there
and its never too late to start
