Alpha Vantage Coin (AVC) is an Ethereum-based ERC20 utility & governance token for the Alpha Vantage Ecosystem, with a mission to bring advanced market intelligence to all financial market participants (read the official manifesto). As an AVC holder, you can:

• Unlock the Alpha Academy Certificate with job referrals to top technology companies
• Enjoy premium access to the Alpha Vantage financial data APIs, with the 500/day API rate limit lifted and all premium endpoints unlocked
• Have constant access to winning portfolio data and other advanced analytics & tools in the Alpha Tournament
• And - most importantly - become part of the blockchain revolution to shape a decentralized, fair, and transparent financial market

Mining AVC does NOT require any specialized mining equipment/software. All that is needed is internet connection and your passion for making the financial market decentralized, fair, and transparent. There are multiple ways to mine AVC tokens:

1. Complete daily quizzes / challenges (frequency = daily)

You can mine AVC by completing daily challenges that reinforce your knowledge on investing, computer science, and blockchain concepts. The total supply cap for this mining method is 800,000 AVC tokens per month, distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis. The challenges are refreshed daily at midnight US/Eastern time. Community members who already hold AVC tokens in their Metamask Wallets will automatically get a 2x boost for the amount of AVC mined and bypass the monthly supply cap of 800,000 AVC tokens. Once you have completed 10 daily challenges with perfect scores, you will also be entitled to the Alpha Academy Certificate and job referrals to top technology companies [learn more].
