Discover Great Places. Earn Real Rewards.

Welcome to Belong CheckIn — a wallet-optional rewards layer that connects real-world activity to verifiable on-chain rewards.
You earn every time you show up, check in, and enjoy what venues offer — no crypto expertise needed.

What Is Belong CheckIn?

Belong CheckIn is a simple, transparent system that rewards real visits to real venues.
It’s built to make the discovery experience fun, rewarding, and fair — both for you and for the venues you support.

• Wallet-optional: You can earn and redeem rewards without needing a crypto wallet.
• Transparent: Every reward is verifiable on-chain through our proof-of-check-in system.
• Instant: Rewards appear right after your verified visit.
• Private: We use minimal data, encrypt everything, and never sell your information.

What You Earn

When you participate, you get three types of benefits:

1. Check-in Bonus – a fixed LONG or credit reward for verified attendance.
2. Venue Perk – a benefit the venue chooses (e.g., discount, free drink, or priority access).
3. Spend Reward – a variable percentage based on your actual bill amount, configured by the venue.

Your total reward depends on the venue’s configuration and whether a promoter referred you.

How It Works

Step 1: Find a Venue

Open the app or scan a promoter’s QR code to view participating venues.
Each listing shows what you’ll earn for visiting — your check-in bonus, spend percentage, and any extra perks.

Step 2: Check In

When you arrive, tap “Check In” or scan the QR/NFC tag at the venue entrance.
The app verifies your location and creates a temporary on-chain proof of visit.

Step 3: Enjoy and Pay

Eat, drink, or experience the venue as usual. Pay however you like — cash, card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or LONG tokens (where available).

Step 4: Verification and Reward

The system confirms your visit through the venue’s POS data or receipt confirmation.
Once verified, your rewards (check-in bonus + spend reward) appear instantly in your balance.

Dual Path Reward Model

Direct Discovery (Customer Found the Venue)

• You receive the full check-in bonus, venue perk, and spend reward defined by the venue.
• The venue covers 100% of the reward cost.

Promoter-Linked Visit (Referred)

• You receive the standard customer share (typically 70–80% of the venue’s configured reward budget).
• The promoter receives a separate commission (typically 20–30%) from the same campaign budget.
• The venue’s total marketing cost stays constant.

Example:
Venue allocates $10 reward budget per verified visit.

• Direct customer = $10.
• Promoter referral = $8 to customer + $2 to promoter.
  Both add up to the same cost for the venue.

Visits made via community referral links may unlock exclusive perks, faster reward verification, and access to special promotions. These incentives are provided by the platform or venues as part of Belong’s engagement program — they do not affect token value or total venue costs.

Paying With LONG (Optional)

Some venues accept LONG tokens as payment — offering you extra value for doing so.

Benefits of Paying with LONG:

• Instant settlement: No waiting for card processors.
• Lower fees for venues: Helps them offer better perks and higher rewards.
• 3% instant discount: Most venues offer a direct discount when you pay in LONG.
• Circular economy: LONG can be spent, staked for access perks, or redeemed.

Your transaction is processed automatically by smart contracts. These conversions are programmatic operations, not speculative trades or buybacks.

Redeeming and Using Rewards

You can redeem your LONG or credits in three simple ways:

1. Instant USDC Conversion – convert LONG to USDC at the current rate and withdraw to your bank or card via supported partners.
2. Spend LONG – use LONG directly at participating venues for future check-ins and perks.
3. Stake LONG – unlock additional benefits such as loyalty multipliers, faster verification, and premium event access.

All conversions are operational processes managed by smart contracts for transparency and fairness.

Loyalty Tiers (Activity-Based)

The more you participate, the more you earn through tier-based multipliers.
These tiers are based on verified visits per month, not token holdings.

Rewards update automatically at the start of each new month.

Data Privacy & Verification

Your privacy is critical.

• GPS and NFC are used only at check-in to verify location.
• Personal data is encrypted; only anonymous proofs are stored on-chain.
• Venues see visit metrics, not your identity.
• You can request data deletion at any time.

Verification uses a multi-layer check: device signals, location hashes, and transaction confirmations.
This ensures authenticity and prevents fraud while keeping the system trustless and privacy-safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need crypto knowledge?
No. Everything works automatically, and you can always choose USDC payouts.

What if I don’t have a wallet?
You can earn rewards to your in-app balance and withdraw through normal payment partners.

Can I pay in fiat and still get rewards?
Yes — you earn based on verified visits and spend, no matter your payment method.

How long until I get my reward?
Instantly after verification (usually within seconds).

Are my rewards investments?
No. Rewards are a form of platform credit earned from activity — not financial instruments or yield products.

What happens to LONG tokens when I redeem or spend them?
All conversions and transfers are handled by smart contracts in a programmatic, non-discretionary way. They’re purely operational processes, not profit-linked or speculative.

Transparency and Compliance

All LONG-related actions (such as conversions or token sinks) are automated, activity-based operational processes.
They do not represent market interventions, buybacks, or promises of profit.
Your rewards are earned solely from verified activity, not investment.

Belong CheckIn is designed for sustainable real-world engagement — turning every visit into proof of participation, not speculation.
