From Candy Crush to Crypto: The Creedo Story

Right now, someone is playing a mobile game to earn $3 in gift cards. Another person is scanning their grocery receipt for cashback points. Somewhere else, a college kid just installed an app for 500 loyalty points they'll probably forget about.

Here's a fun fact: These people have no idea what a seed phrase is.

They don't care about decentralization. They've never heard of ERC-4337, and honestly? Good for them.

But here's what they do understand: Do thing. Get paid. Right now.

That's the entire game. And it's a game that generates billions of actions every single day across the planet. Apps get installed. Levels get beaten. Receipts get scanned. Points get earned. The machinery runs smoothly because it speaks the universal language of instant gratification.

The Problem Isn't Tech. It's Distribution.

The Walled Gardens

All that value—all that attention, all that behavior—it dies in walled gardens. Points expire. Gift cards get lost. The value extraction is one-way, and when users finally cash out (if they can), they're back to zero.

The Empty Stadium

Meanwhile, over in crypto-land, we've built the most powerful financial infrastructure in human history. But nobody's using it. We've got the stadium, the lights, the sound system—but the crowd is still at home watching Netflix.

Let's be honest about what went wrong with "mass adoption." We asked normal people to learn an entirely new paradigm before they got any value. We front-loaded all the friction.

Consumer behavior works like this: Reward first. Explain later. Maybe.

So here's our thesis: What if we just... paid people for what they already do, and then quietly routed that momentum into crypto?

The Creedo System

Gaming → Rewards → Crypto → Finance

1

Earn (The Familiar Part)

Users do normal stuff: Play mobile games, complete offers, scan receipts. It's gamified, dopamine-rich, and fun. Behind the scenes, we're working with 200+ advertisers and major rewarded ad networks.

2

Redeem (The Moment of Truth)

Users hit a threshold and cash out. Instead of points, they get real USDC in a wallet they own. No seed phrases, no jargon. Just "You earned $15. Withdraw it."

3

Multiply (The Upgrade)

Once they have a balance, we offer upgrades: Staking (Earn 8-12%), Token Baskets (Diversify), Prediction Markets. 20-35% will try these, turning from users into participants.

Why Crypto? (The Real Answer)

Crypto rails unlock programmable, portable, composable value.

For Users

  • Paid in stable, real-value assets (USDC).
  • True ownership and portability.
  • Simple path to financial tools (staking, yield).
  • Multiply rewards instead of resetting to zero.

For Businesses

  • Turn rewards into on-chain wallets and TVL.
  • Programmable payouts and incentives.
  • Access real mainstream users, not airdrop farmers.
  • Route UA spend into on-chain activity.

Why Now?

Rewards Are Mainstream

Loyalty and gamified rewards have normalized the "time-for-value" exchange. 65% of game devs will increase ad spend on rewarded channels.

Advertiser CAC Is Broken

Social platform CAC is irrational. Rewarded intent outperforms on payback and retention. It's a healthier exchange.

Infrastructure Is Ready

Custodial wallets, compliant fiat rails, stablecoins, account abstraction. The tech is finally ship-ready.

The Market & Value Chain

We Eat Three Budgets

  • Loyalty Infrastructure: $15B market, growing to $41B.
  • Gaming UA: $29B annually on user acquisition.
  • Consumer Crypto: Billions in revenue and $100B+ liquidity.

How It Works

  • Advertisers: Pay per action (CPA/CPE).
  • Creedo: Verifies events, pays users, earns margin.
  • Users: Earn crypto, stake/invest, keep coming back.

Business Model

We generate revenue through two core streams, capturing value at both acquisition and retention.

1. Core Rewards Margin

We get paid by advertisers for every completed event (app install, level beaten, survey). We keep a platform margin on every reward disbursed.

  • Gross Reward Value: $4.50 per new user.
  • Payouts + Ops: -$2.70
  • Net Platform Margin: $1.80

2. Finance-Layer Upside

As users transition from earners to investors, we earn revenue share on financial upgrades.

  • Staking Spreads: Margin on USDC yields.
  • Basket Fees: Management fees for token baskets.
  • Prediction Markets: Transaction fees.

Impact: Finance attach at 20-35% adds $0.60-$1.20 of incremental LTV per user.

The Vision: Mainstream In. On-Chain Out.

Creedo is the missing link between the world that works (loyalty, rewards, gaming) and the world that could work (crypto, DeFi, on-chain finance).

Rewards that print habits. Habits that print wallets. Wallets that power an ecosystem.

If you want to fund the switchboard that lights up the next ten million users—without a single "gm"—let's talk.
