Coingecko has teamed up with the IOTA Foundation to start a $ 20,000 Learn & Earn campaign, in which the participants can win IOTA token and at the same time acquire knowledge about the improved IOTA protocol. The initiative, which runs by May 27, 2025, invites users to fulfill a number of educational tasks and pass a quiz to qualify for a token reward. Two thousand winners are selected by raffle, which is one of the largest educational campaigns in Coingecko.

As CNF reported, the campaign takes place at a time when the technological basis of IOTA experiences a big change. The latest upgrade of the platform, IOTA Rebased, signals a strategic step towards improved scalability and decentralized programming.
The participants must first register for a Coingecko account and then look at a number of lessons that are available on the official landing page of the campaign. After completing the course, users can redeem 60 candies, the Coingecko reward points, to unlock a final quiz. Users are instructed not to change the tabs or browser windows during the quiz in order to maintain the integrity of the submission.
After the verification, the qualified participants take part in a raffle. The winners will receive IOTA tokens by air freight within two weeks after completing the IOTA token campaign. Coingecko points out that incomplete or incorrectly submitted contributions are disqualified and that no changes can be made after submission.
The Learn & Earn campaign is based on the introduction of Iota Rebased, a complete redesign of the IOTA Layer 1 blockchain. The protocol now has an LEDGER with directed azyclical graphs (DAG) in connection with the MVM (Move Virtual Machine), which gives the developers the opportunity to develop decentralized applications with improved modularity and throughput.
The new infrastructure can over 50,000 TPs and has a finality of less than half a second. In addition, the staking mechanism offers an annual return of 15%. All of this meets the requirements for a powerful blockchain framework for developers and institutions.
Since its foundation in 2015, Iota has Applications persecuted, that go beyond financial transactions. The network has played a role in digitizing the trade infrastructure and the development of innovative urban tools. The IOTA Foundation, financed by IOTA, cooperates with the governments in the UK, Kenya and Norway, in order to introduce decentralized solutions in the areas of logistics, energy incentives and data check.
The foundation also supported the introduction of regulations and institutions. It was the first DLT Foundation to be registered at Abu Dhabi Global Market and worked with the European Commission, the World Economic Forum and other influential international parties in the development of blockchain policy. Many IOTA pilot projects are now developing into projects.
Years of research has led to Iota completed the transition to decentralization. The result was the abolition of the coordinator, a central authority node, through the stardust upgrade in 2023. This led to a distributed validation strategy and paved the way for Iota 2.0, whose test network was started in April 2024.
This development will take advantage of the introduction of IOTA Rebased. On the basis of the foundation, the step will ensure short development cycles and a simple application provision. It is expected that a coordination of the community governance will decide whether Iota Rebased will be the standard protocol in the future.
Coingecko’s educational campaign comes at a time when the blockchain industry focuses on the user acceptance and application development instead of infrastructure innovations. Since most Layer 1 protocols offer a performance comparable to benchmarks, success now depends more on the use, relevance and the actual value.
