User Guide — GetSmart Token

Welcome to the GetSmart Token platform. This guide covers everything a learner or sponsor needs to use GetSmart effectively.

What is GetSmart Token?

GetSmart is a free, nonprofit education platform run by Digital Financial Aid Corporation (501(c)(3), IRS EIN 88-3868816). It awards $GETS — a non-tradable utility token on the Base network — to learners who complete verified skill challenges.

$GETS is not a tradable cryptocurrency. It is a digital record of educational achievement, issued on-chain to verify your learning — not for speculation or investment.

Wallet Setup — Coinbase Wallet on Base

GetSmart uses the Base network (Ethereum Layer 2 by Coinbase). You need a Coinbase Wallet — not MetaMask, not a Polygon wallet.

Migrated from Polygon: Earlier versions of the platform used Polygon (MATIC). The platform now runs entirely on Base. If you had a Polygon-era account, contact hello@getstoken.org to migrate.

1. Download Coinbase Wallet at coinbase.com/wallet
2. Create your wallet — your 0x... address is your on-chain identity
3. Connect your wallet to your GetSmart Dashboard

Verifying Badges

Every badge can be verified publicly on basescan.org using the transaction hash or the badge’s contract address. No account needed to verify.

For Sponsors

Sponsors are organisations or individuals who fund and award credential badges to learners.

What Sponsors Can Do

• Create badges with custom title, description, criteria, and evidence requirements
• Set $GETS rewards — the number of tokens attached to each badge approval
• Publish badges publicly or share via private link
• Review applications and approve or dismiss them
• Fund badges by acquiring $GETS tokens

Sponsor Types

Visit your audience page at getstoken.org/for/ (e.g. /for/employers, /for/ngos, /for/churches).

The $GETS Token

$GETS tokens are earned by completing verified learning challenges. They cannot be traded on any exchange. Their sole purpose is to record and verify educational achievement within the GetSmart platform.

Ghost Badge Warning

The Aithority releases fake NFTs designed to look like real GetSmart badges. Two rules:

1. Verify the contract address — real badges come from the official GetSmart verified contract only
2. Do not interact with unexpected NFTs — if an NFT appears in your wallet from an unknown sender, do not click or interact with it
