POPP

POPP unifies rewards and loyalty programs on Polygon.

Every transaction on POPP mints a Proof-of-Purchase, which, for simplicity and associability, is called a Stamp. Stamps allows users to redeem rewards on a unified platform, through promotion campaigns with merchants or affiliated partners.

Inspiration

Pain points:

• Brands often have their own isolated apps for rewards. Users have to manage multiple reward systems. Brands have to build up their own reward system capabilities.
• Since rewards are isolated, they can't be traded for cash or into other rewards
• Non-physical reward systems require memberships. This requires users to register with their name, email address, and phone number to start collecting rewards.

Features

• Purchase items using crypto; ordering and payment system
• View and trade collected stamps on an open market like OpenSea
• Redeem rewards
• Cross-brand collaboration campaigns between merchants
• Collect-them-all stamps for fun, social sharing

Technologies used

• Solidity: Contract of the Proof-of-Purchase Protocol can be found in /contracts
  • Brand factory + brand contract to
    • manage mintable items (create, edit, delist items)
    • purchase and mint
    • create campaign contracts
  • Campaign contract
    • redemption of rewards
  • Mintable item contract
    • mint, burn
• Chainlink & Umbrella Network: get price feeds for accurate exchange rates to brand owner's currency of choice

Future work

1. Programmable rewards systems & stamps with custom rules

   • Upgradable Stamps: Tier 1 Stamps can be upgraded for Tier 2 tokens, etc.
   • Loyalty Stamps: Minted upon reaching significant milestones, qualifying Wallet Holder to a "buff" (e.g., discounts, VIP access)
   • Fragmentable Stamps: Bundled products represented by a stamp which can be broken into individual stamps, e.g. a Meal Stamp can be broken up into its components (1x burger, 1x fries, 1x beverage).
   • Limited Edition Stamps: Limited edition Stamps(seasonal, etc.) Stamps of Varying Rarities: Rare designs of Stamps may be collected for fun

2. Marketplace for Stamp trading Development of a POPP-specific marketplace, or building on OpenSea.

3. Brand verification Confirm identity of vendors (large brands, cross-branch collaboration)

4. Community-driven Stamp designs Designs follow brand & product theme.
