When sending coins, teachers can choose to instead send it to students that have Metaverse pets. Rather than the student receiving the coin, the pet tells the student that it wants the student to earn the coin. This encourages the student to earn the coin.
After the coin is sent, the student's pet will ask for the coin.
Now when the student actually earns the coin from a teacher, the pet will gain experience, allowing the student to level-up their pets.
As an example, using this technique, teachers could send "Studious" coins to all the students' pets at the beginning of their class in order to promote student to read and study during the class. Each students' pet will request the coin from the student. At the end of the class period, as a reward, the teacher sends the Studious coin to the students that have studied properly, and they will gain the coin and experience for their pet.
