Here’s why Giggle Academy will change everything 🧵👇
For millions, education isn’t just bad—it’s nonexistent.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 1 in 3 children never set foot in a classroom.
For the kids who do have schools, many suffer from underfunded systems, outdated curriculums, and limited resources.
This leads to generations locked out of opportunity—especially in the world’s poorest regions.
@GiggleAcademy wants to fix this.

It’s designed for children who’ve been completely left out of the education system—kids in rural villages, refugee camps, or regions where schools don’t even exist.
CZ calls it “addictive education”, a system so engaging that kids want to learn every day.

CZ launched Giggle Academy in February 2024, months before stepping down as Binance CEO.
After years of building Binance into the world’s largest crypto exchange, CZ wanted to shift focus to something deeply personal:

➢ A zero-revenue project to deliver free, high-quality education to kids.

Kids love games. So instead of fighting it, Giggle Academy embraces it.
Here’s how gamification works:
➢ Kids earn points, badges, and ranks for completing lessons.
➢ Lessons flow naturally, like levels in a video game.
➢ Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) act as permanent proof of skills.

For example, a student mastering physics might earn a "Physics Level 3: Gold Badge that employers or schools can verify it instantly.
Gamification helps to keep kids engaged and helps them specialize.

Giggle Academy isn’t trying to get kids into Ivy League colleges.
Instead, it’s laser-focused on preparing them for real-world jobs:
➢ At 13, kids could learn AI tagging or basic design.
➢ By 15, they could take on roles like QA testing or customer support.
➢ At 16, they might already be coding or managing online communities.
With blockchain-backed credentials, employers can verify skills directly—and give kids opportunities they wouldn’t have otherwise.

Giggle Academy uses Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) to verify student achievements.
These tokens:
➢ Can’t be faked or sold, ensuring authenticity.
➢ Act as permanent, globally recognized credentials.
For employers, this means instant, transparent access to a student’s skills and progress. For students, it’s a chance to showcase their abilities—anywhere in the world.
This system could redefine how skills are certified and recognized globally.

Education isn’t just another cause for CZ—it’s deeply personal.
His family escaped poverty thanks to education. Growing up, he saw firsthand how knowledge can transform lives.
Now, he’s using the tools he built with Binance—blockchain, scalability, and innovation—to give back on a massive scale.
“Education is the first step,” CZ says. “If we get this right, we solve so many other problems.”
