We're building this. We don't have all the answers yet. We're looking for online radios, retreat platforms, niche apps, and search engines whose users already care, to help us figure out how it should work.
The hardest part of building a community currency, having a real community to use it in, is something good digital tools already have. We want to give it a financial layer.
Your tool already has users who chose it. The hardest part, building the community, is done.
Beyond daily-active-user metrics: people who return, recommend, recur, and care about the tool.
Users self-select into tools that match how they want to live online. That is identity, not casual usage.
Subscription fatigue is real. Currency tied to spend is fresh, lower friction, and ties value to behaviour.
Your tool brings the users. We bring the payments rail. Nobody starts from scratch.
We don't know exactly what this should look like yet. Some directions we're curious about, and want to figure out with our first digital-tool partners:
Earned inside your tool, spent back on it or across the network of tools you connect to.
Loyalty patterns turned into financial reality, not just retention metrics on a dashboard.
Discounts, drops, and early access reserved for the people who hold the currency.
A line straight from the tool to its users. No platform middle-layer extracting the value.
Simpler than gift cards, store credits, or third-party tokens. No vendor lock-in.
Most digital tools treat community as a feature: a sidebar, a chat tab, a Discord link in the footer.
We're interested in whether payments rails can be the foundation, so the community stops being something you add later, and becomes the thing the product is built around.
We're testing models where payment activity can generate upside for the community inside your tool, connecting usage, retention, and shared interest into one loop.
We don't know yet exactly what that should look like. That's what we want to figure out with you.
