LMS in Numbers: First $1+ Million NFT Sales Day. 1,5 Million Downloads.

Imagine being paid to learn a foreign language.

Our ultimate vision that we published 3 months ago is fast becoming a reality. We will let the numbers speak for themselves.

LetMeSpeak.org has already helped over 1 million people to improve their English for free in the last few months, with more than 500,000 learners participating over the last 30 days.

Learn and earn model has transformed users’ motivation. It’s boosted the average time users spend learning by up to 6X, compared to the Free-to-Play version of the same app.

NFTs sales exceeded $1M in a single day on Friday 25th March. Allowing users control creation of new NFT Characters (“Invites”) has transformed the LMS ecosystem in just 7 days. It has made the user experience more fun and rewarding, and set off exponential growth in Learn-and-Earn users and NFT sales.

Enjoy the insights and help to spread the word!

How is the market for LSTARs doing?

The LSTAR is the in-game currency of the LMS Metaverse. It’s used to reward people for learning English and for redistributing value between community members and NFT owners. The price of LSTARs is determined by the open market. It depends on supply of and demand for LSTARs. You can read more about it here.

Demand for LSTARs has exceeded supply for the first time this week, as new Learn-and-Earn users have joined the Metaverse and rushed to mint new NFTs taking advantage of the recently introduced “Invite” feature.

This pushed the price of LSTARs from 0.02 USDC to 0.03 USDC, and increased daily turnover of LSTARs from 13,000 USDC a day to 750,000 USDC a day at peak on 25th March. The best way to see it for yourself is to check out Solscan and Birdeye.
