Someone on threads asked if collecting Coingecko Candies is still worth it. I couldn't say it is because the opportunities to use them are quite scarce and when something comes out, the chances of winning are slim too since the number of winners is mostly limited. While I have participated in the previous raffles, I have only been able to really benefit from the Candies once when I exchanged them for ACS tokens last year. They were worth about 100+ USD if my memory is right. Not bad for something free, huh?
Anyway, if you've been claiming and accumulating, you can now put 60 of them to use and learn about Aleph Zero for a chance to win AZERO. Only 1000 winners will be chosen so good luck!
Learn and Earn Aleph Zero
If you have done it before you would know how it works. But if this is your first time, here's a quick guide on how to do it.
👉 Go to Coingecko rewards. You must be logged in of course. Clicked on Aleph Zero. Or if you want the shortcut, just go to this link.
👉Once you're there, redeem the code. 60 candies will be taken out of your Candy balance.
👉 Refresh the page and you can see "Use Now" which you can click on to get your reward code. You will need it to enter the quiz.
👉Before you start answering the quiz, you need some preparation, i.e.
Follow Aleph Zero on X.
Create a wallet in any of these if you don't already have one (Signer, Nightly Wallet, SubWallet, Nova Wallet). You will need a wallet address at the end of the quiz. I used Nightly.
