Best Toronto Startup Award

At the end of 2017, Eatonomy won the prestigious Best Toronto Startup Enterprise award at the InnovateToronto Pitch Competition, among 200 other competitors. This competition is a collaborative partnership between the University of Toronto, City of Toronto, Ryerson University, which focuses on the use of innovation to shape the next 150 years in Canada and beyond.

How does it work?
Application Layer
The application layer consists of Loyalty Management Suite + Eatonomy Mobile Application

The Loyalty Management Suite is what brands / retailers use to prepare loyalty programs, set redemption rules (i.e. 10 tokens for $ 30 spent), buy TRE tokens through the API, and track / analyze the performance of their programs. Brands / retailers can choose to launch their loyalty program on the Eatonomy Cellular Application – where customers can buy & redeem food / goods using TRE or fiat tos or brands / retailers can launch programs using their own infrastructure – the choice is theirs.

Integration Layer
The integration layer is a code library that simplifies platform architecture so that queries between lower layers become automatic.

The main function of the integration layer is API access with external exchanges and data sources so that users of the Loyalty Management Suite (Eat / Retail) and Eatonomy Mobile Applications (customers) can buy / redeem / transfer TRE tokens seamlessly without additional effort – thus removing barriers to using the platform Eatonomy.

Exchange layer
The exchange layer provides direct access to buy / transfer TRE tokens.

With the API in it, the exchange layer allows brands / retailers to buy TRE tokens seamlessly using fiat – without friction in creating accounts, understanding price exposure and more. The exchange layer facilitates this transaction and gives the TRE buyer the best price for each given volume. Similarly, customers can sell their TRE tokens on the exchange through API access too.

Protocol Layer
The TRE Token is built on the Stellar blockchain – the ideal choice for performance, speed and durability.

Stellar is the ideal blockchain for Eatonomy because it provides significant benefits – especially with the technical challenges of building consumer dAPP. For example, competitors who build blockchain loyalty programs that use Ethereum must pay a minimum amount of Gas when making each wallet for users & brands / retailers to facilitate the initial transaction – with Stellar and SDEX, such capital investment is not needed. Other benefits from Stellar include very low transaction costs, near instant transaction time, and TRE token liquidity.

Why do you need an icon token?
TRE tokens serve as loyalty reward points in the Eatonomy ecosystem. Its function is to capture user data, function as reward points, and to bring real cash value to loyalty prizes.

How do you make network effects? Icon

Brands / retailers who want to build a special loyalty program must first purchase TRE tokens. Because the number of users in the ecosystem increases – brand / retailer activity will increase – thus increasing the value of TRE tokens.

Why did you build a universal loyalty gift? Icon

Traditional loyalty rewards are limited & this has contributed to a lack of customer involvement. Customers feel universal rewards are of higher value – this results in increased purchases to get universal rewards.

Why did you build Stellar and not Ethereum? Icon

Stellar has lower transaction costs (less than one cent!), Faster tx times, and Stellar wallets do not require an XLM to process transactions – whereas each new ERC20 wallet requires a minimum amount of Gas to operate the transaction.

Stellar allows some of the fastest, most efficient, and safest transactions on the blockchain, compared to other popular protocols such as Ethereum. Why wait 6 minutes just for transactions to be processed, and that’s also for more than your credit card processing fees? With Stellar, transaction costs are less than one cent, while Stellar allows 40x more transactions per second than Ethereum! As a sign of appreciation for loyalty, fast transaction times and low costs are very important for the success of token Treat as a realistic alternative to a very tight reward program.
