Qiibee: Loyalty Protocol on the Blockchain

in review •  6 years ago 

Loyalty on the blockchain.
By storing the reward and redemption transactions on the blockchain, businesses issue real valued tokens that can be combined and traded - Loyalty tokens

The LoyaltyToken Protocol
The qiibee protocol provides a trustless, secure and provable manner for issuing loyalty tokens backed by a crypto asset across different blockchains. It also guarantees liquidity by allowing easy redemption, tradability and exit options.
The key components of the LoyaltyToken Protocol

Loyal customers
Real value, usability, freedom

Decentralized Loyalty Apps
Brands can build DAPPs for qiibee-based loyalty tokens

Software Development Kit
Web wallet and dashboards for loyalty token transparency

Blockchain Plug & Play
LoyaltyToken protocol, smart contracts for minting, staking, exchanging and transferring of loyalty tokens
It’s easy to build and expand your loyalty apps

Everyone — loyalty program owners, companies, and developers — should be able to build their own applications without the hassle of integrating blockchain technology.

Connect to API
Easily connect to our API and set up your loyalty program.

Everything you need to set up, manage, and track your loyalty tokens.

Build your own decentralized application on top of our protocol.

Everything you need to get started

Qiibee provides an easy-to-connect means to start building loyalty programs on top of the qiibee protocol, an API that brands’s developers can use to easily communicate with the protocol and the blockchain.

Our alpha version is already live, and we’re always improving the API to deliver a smoother, more straight forward experience.

With the qiibee API, you can:

  1. Create loyalty tokens
  2. Issue more supply
  3. See relevant analytics, such as transaction history, current supply, and more
  4. Exit the ecosystem
  5. Set your LoyaltyToken settings — name, symbol, decimals, rate to QBX, etc.
  6. Reward customers
  7. Make tokens transferable at high speed and no cost

Your LoyaltyToken information in one place

Qiibee's software development kit is comprised of the API, full documentation, tutorials and a user-friendly dashboard. We’re working hard to build the first brand-specific version of the dashboard, where brands can easily set up their loyalty programs through an straightforward visual interface.

Loyalty token creation
Use the token creation section to define your LoyaltyToken settings, including: token name, symbol, exchange rate to the QBX token, token image, description, etc.

Real-time information
Check the block explorer to see real-time information about the blockchain where your token lives and the latest transactions.

Analytics
Need some numbers? The dashboard’s analytics section provides all the important information about your LoyaltyToken: how many accounts hold your token, peak times for rewards, etc.

Build your DAPPs on top of our protocol

Brands can build their own wallet apps, where customers can track, send, and earn loyalty tokens. Best of all, it’s easy for developers to connect to our API and create their app.

One example of these DAPPs is our very own qiibee Wallet. We’ve just released the alpha version for iOS and Android.

Easy access
Store and find all your tokens in one place

Trade tokens
Exchange loyalty tokens for one other

Real value rewards
Sell your loyalty tokens for $, ¥‎, € or bitcoin

More secure
Blockchain technology protects your data

Plug & Play
Connect to our ecosystem and launch your token

Engaged customers
