Glymp Coins
Glymp Coins are in-app reward tokens earned by users of the Glymp app for discovering local businesses, leaving reviews, checking in, and engaging with community content. They are a loyalty and engagement mechanism within the Glymp platform — not a financial instrument, cryptocurrency, or tradeable asset.
Local commerce discovery is, by design, exploratory. Users are encouraged to browse, review, check in, and engage with what is around them — not just transact. Glymp Coins exist to make that exploration rewarding. Every meaningful action a user takes in their neighbourhood — discovering a new store, leaving a genuine review, checking in at a local business — earns coins. The act of being a local explorer becomes its own reward loop.
This mechanic addresses a specific problem in local discovery: cold start. For a new neighbourhood or a newly listed business, early discovery requires incentive. Glymp Coins create a virtuous cycle — users are rewarded for discovering and reviewing businesses, which builds the review and content density that makes the platform more valuable for the next user, which attracts more businesses, which gives users more to discover.
