Cardano tokens in loyalty programs

[IMPACT]

Traditional loyalty programs and rewards schemes are often seen as short-term fads and there are a number of reasons for this. Most notably, too many reward programs motivate existing or potential customers without delivering real value, usability or freedom. We believe the Epay solution offers the solution to these issues by providing higher engagement and customer lifetime value, all while mitigating the risks of a huge data breach by being on the blockchain.

Blockchain transforms your points into coins.

It doesn’t stop with the shopping ,travel or coin rewards of course.

The EPT Coin, a cardano token, will be available on the Cardano ecosystem. So, all you’ll have to do is download the app, make a purchase at any platform that we have partnered with, scan a QR code, and start earning. And you can do it all while shopping or enjoying the usual ride to work.

EPT Tokens will exist only on the cardano blockchain. This (1) minimizes transaction costs and (2) speeds up transaction times with enough security, thereby ensuring immediate exchange between loyalty tokens and enabling redemptions within physical stores.

Additionally, users can exchange EPT Tokens for our Kenyan StableCoin(which is under development) on the public blockchain, which would allow further exchanges into crypto or fiat currency. However, this feature will only be available after the EPT crowd sale, when EPT will become freely transferable.

Resources- Experienced Business Managers and developers(team) to trust with the project.

Acceptance to the involved audience- Knowing there is a 50% without smartphones and a 3% without internet accessibility. I view this a growing opportunity as I am in my ideation stage.

[FEASIBILITY]

As everything is set, I beleive starting now will be a huge advantage after the government just integrated cbdc currency. I have regional cardano developers who can work with me and so by the next two months, I believe the architecture and the designs will be ready. The next other two months can be on collaborating with guys to allow us to build their payment system on us and signing contracts. By late 2022, we plan to have launched the platform

2 Flask and Flutter Developers -2000usd

2 Haskell Developers - 3000usd

2 Business Analyst/Marketer - 2000usd

1 Front End Mobile UX Engineer - 2000usd

1 Front End Web UX Engineer - 2000usd

Legal, Tax & Accounting Interns - 1000usd

Other subscriptions and future unaccounted issues- 3000usd

I am currently alone and so Immanuel Maina is a blockchain developer currently working on cardano .Having previously worked on Bsc and Eth, I beleive I am a good person to lead developers into this journey which will help cardano grow while at the same time bringing value to the users in form of cashback.

Clarifying the Expectations

Set Regular Monitoring Intervals- planned on using trello for this

Choose a Way to Collect Data - github commits and deployments

Adjusting expectations - If the actual progress doesn't align with the expected progress, it's time to evaluate the situation and see what needs to change

I would like to see markets, hospitals, travel agencies and all user servicing companies integrate our protocol and after some adoption we want to see the agreed calculated commission model working on every transaction involved. I would also introduce a service for exchange where a person with UBER points/tokens can swap for LITTLE points /tokens or any other involved entities. This will be an agile project, introducing while testing small advancements in the system.

No. This is my first and official proposal
