Exchange platform Coinbase has announced an opportunity for US users to claim up to 50 Stellar Lumens (XLM) each in new Coinbase Earn Opportunity. The Coinbase Earn Opportunity will allow users to gain their share of the funds for simply completing Stellar tutorials, answering quiz questions and then sharing them with friends. Users who complete just the tutorials will earn 10XLM, before being given 4 unique referral links to share with friends. For each friend who also completes the tutorials, the user will earn 10 more XLM. Thus, if all friends complete the tutorials, you will stand to gain 50XLM in total. In total, 1 billion’s worth of XLM will be awarded to their US users in total, with those eligible to get involved to receive an email within the next few days. The funds are being provided by the Stellar Development Foundation, the non-profit foundation helping to spread the word of Stellar to the masses. As well as the funds, users will also then be fully equipped and ready to start making use of the Stellar Protocol and experimenting with their new-found skills. Not all users will receive an email and those living outside of the US will not be eligible. However, they should stay tuned for future opportunities like this in the future, The Stellar Protocol is a system which aims to simplify the online financial infrastructure by facilitating the issuing, exchanging and transfers of online tokens via a decentralized, open network.
