Thanks Coinbase for these $Ronin

By The Very Confused Martin Babalor | Crypto Gigs | Airdrops | Earners | 5 Jun 2024

If you like free tokens, discover new projects and earn for testing protocols (exchanges, defi, play2earngames, staking solutions, etc...) Coinbase is the right place for you. With the learn and earn program I was able to collect a different variety of tokens over the years, including $VARA, $VET, $ACS, $ZETA, $ALGO, $NEAR.
The reward grew progressively over time: the first campaigns were very simple quiz, with small and quick rewards (around 3-4$ in tokens).
The last campaigns are more "try and earn" oriented: to get tokens you start with very simple quiz, then you are invited to try protocols and take action for bigger rewards.

Ronin

The last campaign was probably the biggest I've seen so far. I was able to get 55$ in Ronin tokens $RON just by taking a few simple actions on the Ronin blockchain:
- answering some very easy introduction quiz
- install the Ronin Wallet
- transfer some tokens from Coinbase to Ronin wallet
- stake tokens (on a random validator)
- buy an Axie on the marketplace
- stake more tokens (on a random validator)
- try a retro pixel-style farming game (called Pixels)
- buy another Axie with evolved traits

All these quests were fun and easy to complete, and making 55$ took me less than an hour.
For those who might not know, Ronin blockchain is the blockchain that was developed to support Axie Infinite, which was probably the most famous Play-2-Earn game around for a long time (even if I'm 100% team Splinterlands, I must admit that Axie Infinite was the real deal then).
Like many other pioneer protocols, the whole ecosystem suffered in the last bear market: the blockchain was also hacked in 2022 (the biggest hack in crypto history, actually, with more than 600M stolen).

Since then the project seems to have recovered, and it's now looking to attract more games to develop. The token spiked again and it's now around ATH, $RON was listed on Binance, games such as Pixels have brought a new wave of users to Ronin, while existing projects — like early NFT franchise Cyberkongz — are planning to migrate to Ronin.
*UPDATE: I saw that now the rewards for completing all the quests are a little smaller, around $37. So, if you are interested, hurry up :)
