How to earn crypto and benefit the planet with Starboard Blue Tiki ($BTIKI)

Social tokens are on the rise in the crypto space and brands are embracing it to create more value, engage with their communities and incentivize positive impact behaviours. And recently, the SUP industry has witnessed a “pioneering move” into metaverse from Starboard SUP!

Driven by sustainable innovation and the power of a community, Starboard has teamed up with Socialstack, a social token platform and SOMWR, a climate positive fashion brand, to launch their own social currency – Blue Tiki ($BTIKI) – “a social token that rewards the movement of eco-conscious Future Fighters who want to change the world, and get rewarded in the process. The token lives on the carbon negative blockchain Celo.”

The announcement was livestreamed from Denver, Colorado on Facebook and led by Fiona Wylde, Starboard Team Rider and a three-time World SUP Champion. Joined by Socialstack founders and the brand’s IT crew, the team talked about Blue Tiki and guided the audience through the application.

The brand’s continuous goal is to make the world more sustainable by incentivising climate positive actions. Users can start earning their Blue Tiki ($BTIKI) tokens through beach and ocean clean-ups, mangrove tree planting, participation in community events and other tasks that are announced on the app.

At TotalSUP we jumped straight onto it to check what this hype is all about and created a step-by-step guide how to start earning your Blue Tiki ($BTIKI) tokens supported by a tech glossary!

Tech glossary

Blockchain

Blockchain is a digital collection of information about transactions. Transactions are recorded in “blocks” that are then linked together on a “chain” of previous cryptocurrency transactions. Bitcoin, Ethereum and all other cryptocurrencies are based on blockchain technology. Here’s blockchain explained in 550 words.

Metaverse

Metaverse is a collective virtual shared space. It’s a perfect fusion of physical, augmented and virtual reality providing enhanced immersive experiences. (Source)

Social Token (SNT)

Social token is a type of cryptocurrency, (crypto-asset, digital-asset), based around creators, brands and communities to create engagement and a new way to monetize their work and reward their supporters. (Source)

Cryptocurrency

Cryptocurrency is decentralized digital money that’s based on blockchain technology. A cryptocurrency is a medium of exchange that is digital, encrypted and decentralized. Unlike the U.S. Dollar or the Euro, there is no central authority that manages and maintains the value of a cryptocurrency. (Source)

NFT (Non-Fungible Token)

NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online. (Source)

Fungible and non-fungible

Physical money and cryptocurrencies are “fungible / mutually interchangeable” meaning they can be traded or exchanged for one another. They’re also equal in value—one dollar is always worth another dollar; one Bitcoin is always equal to another Bitcoin. Crypto’s fungibility makes it a trusted means of conducting transactions on the blockchain. NFTs are different. Each has a digital signature that makes it impossible for NFTs to be exchanged for or equal to one another (hence, non-fungible). (Source)
