Avalanche and Revolut are bringing together a new crypto course Four courses are already available from the Revolut app: Crypto Basics, Polkadot, 1Inch, and a Polkadot Bonus course. Learn & Earn courses have been created to help customers improve their knowledge of cryptocurrencies and related topics. The impact of the feature was also acknowledged by the second edition of the Pulse Report, issued by the FinTech consultancy 11FS. Revolut Learn and Earn was picked as a ”top cryptocurrency star” in 2022 for its ”fun and simple approach”. The courses deliver, in a funny and accessible manner, the basic information and knowledge about the tokens offered by Revolut. The level of a customer's crypto competence is measured through short and simple final quizzes. Revolut rewards the clients testing their expertise on cryptocurrencies with up to £/€15 from all of Revolut Learn and Earn courses, in different tokens. A fifth addition is coming in today with a course dedicated to AVAX. In this course, customers will learn the basics of Avalanche, through two lessons:

• Lesson 1: Introduction to Avalanche - Customers will discover what Avalanche consensus protocol is and how it works. Also, the lesson explains how Avalanche differs from other blockchains.
• Lesson 2: How does Avalanche scale? Participants will learn about the Subnet concept and how Avalanche scaling models can contribute to the crypto ecosystem without a proportionate increase in gas fees.
