In the spirit of curiosity and learning, ConsenSys recently launched MetaMask Learn. According to Megan Dias, it’s been a labor of love, and one she hopes inspires the curious 🦊 in all who come across it.
MetaMask Learn is a free-to-use educational platform available in 10 languages for anyone interested in learning about web3. Through engaging lessons and interactive simulations, it helps you understand what web3 is, why it matters, and how to get started.
Target Audience
- You’ve been interested in web3 but just don’t know where to start
- You’ve bought some crypto on an exchange but don’t know what to do with it
- You still don’t understand web3 principles because they’ve been too jargon-heavy
- You want to know what the fuss about web3 really is
- You just want to keep up with your friends who babble about this new digital era and its possibilities
The list could go on. But at its core, Learn is designed for anyone who wants to take the leap to explore uncharted waters. At a self-moderated pace, you can jump into any and all lessons that interest you, interact with features in the simulation, and experience those satisfying “ah-ha” moments when you finally grasp important concepts. As you may have heard, crypto wasn’t created to make you rich, it was created to set you free. And we like to think freedom is fun.
MetaMask Learn Syllabus
- What is Web3?
- What is a Crypto Wallet?

In 10 languages: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Tagalog (Philippines), Bahasa (Indonesia), Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, and Turkish. (with more to come soon). With interactive simulations in each lesson, you’ll get an idea of how the MetaMask wallet works and be shown what’s possible in this new web.
In addition to helping educate more people in the space, ConsenSys wants to help combat scammers who prey on unsuspecting victims by equipping you with the fundamental knowledge to understand self-custody and true ownership. The amount of successful scamming and phishing attempts reduce significantly when people are equipped with knowledge.
