About AppCoins

What does AppCoins stand for and what is it?

AppCoins is a cryptocurrency and protocol that brings blockchain technology to the three main flows of app distribution: in-app purchases, user acquisition and developers approval. By redesigning the transactions inside an app store, creates efficiencies by disintermediation and redistributes the value released in a way that creates incentives for the AppCoins supported stores dissemination.

What can end users do differently with AppCoins?

AppCoins is an additional payment method used by users in those app stores that support the AppCoins protocol. With AppCoins, the end user will be able to:

• Earn coins: If a user clicks in an ad, installs the app and gives two minutes of attention, he/she can earn coins to spend inside apps and games. So what? Users are more encouraged to actually try your app if they earn tokens, therefore advertising is more efficient. Secondly, giving tokens to users will provide them with the power to make in-app purchases. It's a win-win for developers and users!

• P2P transfers: Users can easily send AppCoins to their friends. If they don't have access to credit cards, they will be able to get APPC tokens transferred from a family member or a friend's wallet. Those millions of users with no access to bank/credit cards are now welcomed to the app economy.

• Same currency across multiple app stores: You can use AppCoins across all the app stores that support it. Let's make things easy.

• Liquidity: You can buy or sell your AppCoins through exchanges. The virtual currency in some app stores cannot be sold, only bought.

What can AppCoins be used for?

• Developers can invest on advertising to promote their apps;

• Users can be rewarded with AppCoins by installing and using sponsored apps;
