Alloy Consolidates Multiple Platforms Transforming Them into Redeemable Local Store Rewards
With Alloy, it will be possible connect multiple networks, consolidate and redeem reward points from several different real-world merchandise products and services and transform them into redeemable local store awards. Alloy is the solution to an estimated 48 Trillion reward points that don’t get redeemed on member accounts of different apps and platforms at an estimated value of $360 Billion.
The top reasons people don’t redeem their points are:
• 57% of consumers are not even aware of point balance.
• 38% of the unaware consumers don’t know what the points are really worth.
• 57% of consumers that signed up for a reward program think that it takes too long to earn enough points or miles.
• 53% of the consumers show no interest in the kind of rewards they can get with the points or miles.
Global Rewards Network
Alloy will feature a Blockchain based Global Rewards Catalog that will connect brands, consumers, and publishers on the Alloy platform. The Global Rewards Network will allow the registered users of the partnered publishers and brands to link, add up and convert all the reward points from the different networks to any local Fiat Equivalent ($/¥/€/₹ and others) where the user is present to be used with services and products with partnering brands.
Kinds of Virtual Currencies
The Alloy Global Rewards Network will be able to support Virtual currencies that range from a person’s Existing Brand Reward/Loyalty Points to In-App credits to even different Crypto-currencies:
• Cryptocurrencies
• In-Game Points
• Reward Points
Defining ALLOY
ALLOY Tokens are defined as the Reserve/Anchor currency to be used for the complete ecosystem, which will be the required medium of exchange in order to conduct every kind of transaction on the Global Rewards Network. In a similar fashion of the USD being used as an Anchor Currency that facilitates International Trade through a common exchange factor, or simply the Global Reserve Currency, the use of ALLOY TOKEN will allow Partnering Brands & Publishers to establish the exchange value for their reward points, which will determine and rule redemption of points in the ecosystem.
REPAC (Real-time Points Adoption & Conversion)
From a high level, REPAC makes local Fiat transactions possible between parties doing business and makes it totally smooth for all businesses involved. Looking at it in detail, REPAC makes use of Blockchain & ALLOY that make global cross-border transactions possible. This process upholds the value for all three stakeholders, which are brands, consumers, and publishers when all the currencies & in-house points of different values are converted to a common ALLOY baseline (based on the market value), in real-time, through the use of Smart contracts all the way to auditable and secure transactions.
How the Alloy System Works
A person that is an Alloy user that lives in India can use their reward points when traveling to other countries can redeem their points to use them in cities such as New York on a local brand through the use of REPAC technology, and have a rewarding and redemption experience without borders.
