Reward Policy
Scan receipts, earn Bitcoin. Every parameter below is live and determines what you earn per verified receipt.
Base Earning
Every verified receipt earns 100 base points. Points convert to Bitcoin (sats) or $CRINKL at the current reserve rate. The sats amount updates daily based on the BTC/USD price.
Daily limit: 10 receipts per day.

| Restaurants & Dining | 1.5x |
| Coffee & Fast Casual | 1.25x |
| Apparel & Footwear | 1.1x |

$CRINKL Holding Tiers
Hold $CRINKL to multiply your earnings on every receipt. Tiers stack with category bonuses.

| Scanner | 150+ | 1.05x |
| Stacker | 275+ | 1.1x |

Max combo: Crinkler (1.25x) + Grocery (1.5x) = 1.875x = 187 points per receipt
Tier thresholds adjust weekly as the $CRINKL price moves.
How Points Convert
After a receipt is verified, you choose how to claim your points:
Points convert to satoshis at the current reserve rate. Settled via Lightning Network.
Current rate: ~146 sats per 100 points
Points convert to $CRINKL at the current market price. Solana SPL token.
Current rate: ~$0.10 per 100 points
Minimum claim: $5.00 equivalent. Points accumulate until you reach the threshold.
Referral Rewards
Share your referral code. When someone joins and verifies their first receipt, both of you earn bonus points. Your tier at the time of the referral determines the bonus.
| Your Tier | You Earn | They Earn |
|---|---|---|
| No $CRINKL | 500 pts | 250 pts |
| Scanner | 750 pts | 250 pts |
| Stacker | 1,000 pts | 250 pts |
| Crinkler | 1,500 pts | 750 pts |
Streaks
Upload at least one receipt per day to maintain a streak. Active streaks earn bonus points daily.
Reserve & Settlement
Bitcoin rewards are backed by a reserve that is checkpointed daily. The reserve rate determines how many sats each point is worth.
| BTC/USD Price | $68,577 |
| Sats per Receipt | ~146 |
| USD per Receipt | $0.10 |
| $CRINKL Price | $0.1009 |
| Coverage Ratio | 1.00 (fully backed) |
| Minimum Claim | $5.00 |
| Reserve Checkpoint | Daily at 00:00 UTC |
These values update daily. The coverage ratio indicates what percentage of outstanding reward liabilities are backed by the BTC reserve. A ratio of 1.00 means fully backed.
