What is Coinbase Learn and Earn?

Coinbase Learn and Earn is an education program where Coinbase pays a small amount of crypto to customers who watch short lessons about a token and then pass a quiz on it. Coinbase launched the idea as Coinbase Earn in December 2018, starting invite-only with the 0x (ZRX) token, and today its help pages call it Learning Rewards. As of November 2026, the help center still describes the program and lists the countries where it runs.

How does the Coinbase Learn and Earn program work?

You open a campaign for a specific token, watch a few videos about how the project works, and answer quiz questions. When you complete it, Coinbase credits a small amount of that token to your account. Public campaign pages have shown rewards of around $3 per token campaign.

To qualify, Coinbase says you need a single Coinbase account, to live in an eligible country, to verify your personal information, and to have completed a crypto purchase using a payment method not linked to another account. Coinbase also applies its own fraud and risk checks. The eligible list includes the United States, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Singapore and most of the European Union, among others.

Coinbase notes that it may receive fees from token issuers for the educational content. That is worth knowing, because the lessons are produced with the project in mind and are not independent research. Our guide on how to research a crypto project covers how to look at a token more critically.

Why does Coinbase Learn and Earn seem gone?

Offers run only while each campaign's token supply lasts, and Coinbase can end, change or revoke any campaign at any time. After an offer ends, you may still see the videos but you will not earn anything for finishing them. If you see no campaigns, it usually means none are open for your account or country right now, not that you did something wrong. Coinbase suggests contacting support only if 48 hours have passed after meeting every requirement and the offer is still live.

Should you use Coinbase Learn and Earn answers sites?

Many websites publish quiz answers, and some are unofficial pages that borrow Coinbase's name. You do not need them, because the quizzes are short and the answers are in the videos. Only sign in through the official Coinbase app or site, and see our guide to crypto phishing and wallet drainers for warning signs.

Do you pay taxes on Coinbase Learn and Earn rewards?

In the US, the IRS treats digital assets received as a reward as reportable, and you should record their fair market value in dollars when received. Coinbase says learning rewards count as miscellaneous income, and it issues Form 1099-MISC to US customers who earn $600 or more of such income in a year. Smaller amounts are still income even without a form. See does Coinbase report to the IRS for more on its reporting.
