How it works
Progress. Verified. Rewarded.
Proof of Good Grades™ recognizes achievement, improvement, and attendance. Every reward starts with verified progress.
Schools verify it.
The school or an approved independent source confirms the achievement. The student earns PoGG™ coins.
Families choose a reward.
Students explore an age-appropriate marketplace. A parent approves every redemption.
For families & schools
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Students at the heart.
Adults in the loop.
Gradium™ is forming its first pilot partnerships now. Schools and districts: gradesup@gradiumcoin.com.
No. Students earn PoGG™ coins through verified achievement. A PoGG™ coin is a reward inside the program, not cryptocurrency. PoGG™ coins stay inside the protected reward program, and parents approve every marketplace redemption. Students do not buy their rewards.
GRDM™ Gradium Coin is a proposed utility coin for verified adults, 18 and older. It never touches a student transaction. Exchange listing is planned. GRDM™ may appreciate or may fall in value. No exchange listing or ability to sell is guaranteed.
IQ Arena™ is planned after the pilot. Students apply their knowledge in school-approved academic quizzes and skill challenges, individually or in teams. Corporate sponsors can fund rewards. Students risk no money or earned PoGG™ coins.
Data minimization is a core Gradium™ design rule. This website does not accept student records. The full student-data policy will be published before any student enrollment opens. Read our Privacy Policy.
No. Sponsors fund the rewards.
Yes. PoGG™ coins post against a record from a school, accredited program, umbrella school, or recognized assessment—not a parent-assigned grade. Gradium™ is forming its first pilot partnerships; family updates are available by email.
Earned PoGG™ coins travel with your child on a parent request.

IQ Arena™
Planned · After the pilot
Knowledge gets its moment.
Academic quizzes and skill challenges bring friendly competition to learning—individually or as a team. Think fast, work together, and put what you know into action.
Companies can sponsor an IQ Arena™ challenge and fund school-approved reward pools, learning tools, or educational experiences. Schools set the challenge rules, and parents approve reward redemptions.
Knowledge earns the reward. Students risk no money or earned PoGG™ coins.
Sponsor an IQ Arena™ challengeFor sponsorsHow to back a student, classroom or school—and how funding works.
Corporate sponsorship
Back the effort.
Open a door.
A student sets a goal. A company makes a reward pledge.
Through Sponsor My Progress™, a student can ask a company to back an agreed academic goal—for example, raising a math grade from D to A. The company commits a reward before the challenge begins, and the school verifies the improvement.
Support one student, an entire classroom, or a school. A company could offer a learning tablet, tutoring, books, or another school-approved reward. Goals, timeframes, and rewards are agreed with the school and parent in advance.
Companies can also match approved progress rewards or sponsor IQ Arena™ challenges. Students put in effort; sponsors provide the reward.

GRDM™ Gradium Coin never touches a student transaction.
The coins & what happens at 18Student rewards and adult conversion.
What happens at 18?
The student reward program and the proposed adult coin have different rules. Read the complete explanation below.
From school to adulthood
In school. And at 18.
In school, students earn PoGG™ coins. At 18, verified adults can convert eligible unused PoGG™ coins to GRDM™ Gradium Coin, a proposed utility coin.
Adult conversion is planned and subject to identity verification and the rules in effect at conversion. PoGG™ coins are not cash and cannot be sold or traded. No cash value, exchange listing, ability to sell, reward amount, or conversion availability is guaranteed. GRDM™ may appreciate or may fall in value.
