BitDegree, a prominent Web3 educational hub, has launched a pioneering initiative—the world’s first gamified Web3 Exam. Unlike traditional academic tests, this educational adventure is designed as a game with three levels: Starter, Explorer, and Evangelist, catering to various levels of Web3 proficiency. Participants achieving a minimum score of 10 points in any level are eligible to mint a free NFT Certificate.

Every NFT Certificate is unique, showcasing the participant’s knowledge level and score range. BitDegree has developed an NFT certificate verification tool enabling validation of each certificate's authenticity. This tool provides specific details, such as the certificate’s level, exact score, and legitimacy verification. It allows for fact-checking based on a wallet address to verify claims related to Web3 knowledge.
BitDegree’s NFT certificates currently serve as "Proof-of-Learn," demonstrating an owner's expertise in the Web3 space. However, their potential extends beyond. Danielius Stasiulis, one of BitDegree’s co-founders, envisions these certificates as more than proof of learning. He foresees them as entry tickets, filters, invitations to exclusive groups, offering discounts, and granting unique privileges.
Each NFT Certificate holds a distinct digital identifier securely recorded on the blockchain, serving as a tangible display of acquired knowledge. Stasiulis outlines plans for expanded use cases, introducing various project-based Guilds in the future. These certificates could serve as passes affirming legitimate membership in exclusive Guilds, offering enhanced opportunities and privileges.
BitDegree’s Web3 Exam with NFT Certificates marks a significant step in revolutionising credentials in the Web3 education sphere. These innovative certificates not only validate knowledge but also open avenues for broader applications, potentially redefining access and opportunities within the Web3 community. As the world embraces blockchain-backed achievements, BitDegree’s initiative sets a precedent for gamified learning with tangible, verifiable rewards.
