FAQs
Q: How do I claim my Proof of Knowledge (PoK) NFT?
Proof of Knowledge NFTs are rewarded to everyone who takes the time to learn the materials shared in each of these tutorials. You must attempt the challenges and share your learnings and experiences with the rest of the community.
The cycle of learning, building, expanding, debugging, reflecting, and sharing is crucial to you as a web3 developer. We want to help you level up your skills, connect with fellow builders, and showcase your hard work to potential recruiters at blockchain companies.
That's why, in order to earn a Proof of Knowledge NFT for each weeks' challenges, you need to do a few things:
1. Reflect on your project
Tell us about you and your project in your published reflection. You MUST answer ALL of these questions:
- Who are you, and what is your software development background?
- Why did you want to complete this lesson?
- When did you complete the project?
- What technologies did you use?
- What did you enjoy about the tutorial?
- How do you think you can use this technology to build useful applications in the future? What are some specific example applications?
- Who would you recommend this project to?
- What is the Ethereum wallet address you would like to receive your PoK at?
2. Publish your reflection
Publish your reflection online! Share your responses to the questions listed in step 2 below, by posting to one of the following places:
Tag the @AlchemyLearn Twitter community AND include a link to https://university.alchemy.com/ in your published post. Share the link to your post in the forum here.
3. Engage with the community!
Share your reflection in the Alchemy University Discord server.
Celebrate your fellow Road to Web3 and Alchemy University devs! Comment on each others' posts, call out cool projects, and upvote the projects you think are the best. Learning happens best when we learn and interact with each other.
4. Earn your PoK
The Alchemy Ambassadors will be scanning through the forum posts all the time and awarding PoKs to the best reflections and most creative projects 🙂
Once you have earned your PoK NFT, you can:
- Go to https://www.mintkudos.xyz
