LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#learn2earn–SWIM, a leading provider of web3 solutions, is pleased to announce its collaboration with Underknown, the award-winning digital-first media company, and the creators of the #1 science video series, �What If.’ With this collaboration, SWIM and Underknown fill a void in the industry by forming a decentralized educational & entertainment web-based platform that rewards users, directly connecting to their Metamask wallets, with more on the way. Underknown’s fan base of more than 120 million monthly active users will be able to compete against themselves and others by answering quizzes and following videos from Underknown’s library of more than 3,000 videos of original content in various categories including: science, food, survival, animals, and hypothetical battles.
