🖼️ Special Edition: Education Meets The Metaverse

Welcome to a special edition of your weekly newsletter [View in Browser]( [Gif Ledger Bites]( 28/01/2021 Welcome to a special edition of your weekly newsletter. As more people join the ever-expanding [Web3]( field, scams and hacks increase proportionately and harm your digital belongings. At Ledger, we have a responsibility to educate on what self-custody and security really mean, so that your crypto never gets lost. 2 years ago, we launched our [Ledger Academy]( to help you learn everything about crypto, NFTs and the Web3 Galaxy. But our educational strategy just hit a new milestone: the Metaverse. We’ve just announced our first decentralized educational initiative with [Fluf World]( enabling you to learn everything about Web3 security… right from the Metaverse. Content creators will be able to play around in creative ways, with massive rewards for the three winning teams. Do you want to join the contest?

[Go check now →]( [In the know] [What’s a “Private Key”... and why does it matter?]( The most important consideration you will make when owning crypto is how to manage them. It’s essential that you understand what private keys are all about… and keep them safe. [What is this Metaverse craze all about?]( It’s a hot topic, and the next computing platform. There are two kinds of Metaverses: ones controlled by a central entity and decentralized ones built and established by communities. [Where are your coins?]( The answer isn’t that intuitive, as your crypto assets are not physically present anywhere. Your coins are an association of a set of public and private keys. [How to create your own NFT… and ensure its security?]( Creating your own NFTs takes little to no technical knowledge. There are many NFT marketplaces where you can create them… It’s a matter of minutes. [What is Play-to-Earn?]( The gaming industry is massive, with huge amounts of money pumped in annually. However, production studios profit the most from this wealth, while gamers have to pay to play. So… why not flip the switch?

Billions of unsecured transactions are happening on a daily basis. [Every 39 seconds]( an attack occurs. With this in mind, we decided to launch a decentralized educational initiative with [Fluf World]( a Metaverse project home to 10,000 unique NFT rabbits, bringing crypto education to the next level. A Web3 Approach to Education This initiative aims at giving the Fluf community (and beyond) the knowledge to become vibrant Web3 educators, to unleash their creativity and amplify a message anchored in [financial freedom]( and [security](. We want you to shed light upon what we defend day and night at Ledger. This operation is disclosed in a new fashion. Instead of following Web2 standards based on a top-down, centralized approach - we decided to adopt a Web3, decentralized and community-based approach. We believe in a future where everyone is able to bring their digital selves and participate in the upside of the value created, without centralized gatekeepers reaping the benefits. We want [you]( to participate and help us in our mission to onboard the next billion users to Web3. Let’s make decentralized education a thing. On The Future of Entertainment Behind this partnership, something new is at play, intimately linked to the future of education and entertainment. In December 2021, at Art Basel Miami, a [Fluf “Live Metaverse performance”]( made history as the world’s first “Metastar,” highlighting digital artefacts' capacity to federate and entertain communities, just like in the physical world. Just like Flufs, we are bound to develop digital avatars. Gaspard Broustine, NFT Project Manager at Ledger, believes “we will gradually own avatars, fashion, art and digital collectibles. Protecting this digital identity is the cornerstone for a sustainable Metaverse.” Avatars will increasingly connect with culture, entertainment, and be part of multimedia environments. What if your avatar launches a podcast or its own media to organize communities around it? An avatar doesn’t need to be a closed identity, but rather a gateway to wider communities. At Ledger, we believe in a future where the Metaverse is playful, educational, and secure. Do you? [I wanna know more] The Metaverse will create thousands of new jobs. Any doubts?
