Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is WhatRocks?

WhatRocks is your crypto wallet for good.

This mobile application allows you to collect complimentary, non-speculative, and low carbon crypto rewards called Rocks™ from their favorite brands.

Thanks to these crypto rewards, make donations to their charities of choice from the list of national and international organizations available in their WhatRocks mobile wallet.

WhatRocks is 100% free:

  • There’s no credit card.
  • There’s no fees.
  • There’s no obligation to purchase.

What makes WhatRocks so unique?

With WhatRocks, you are empowered financially by brands to create your own social impact by making donations to the social and environmental causes you care about.


What are Rocks™?

Brands convert (“tokenize”) their marketing dollars into digital currency called Rocks™ to reward you for your time, your attention, your engagement, and your purchases.

Thanks to these crypto rewards, make donations to your charities of choice or make giveback purchases (the Rocks™ used for payment are donated directly to the charity nominated by the merchant).

More specifically, Rocks™ are fungible blockchain tokens: they have the same utility and the same value regardless of the brands that award them to consumers.


What is the value of a Rock™?

Rocks™ are non-speculative cryptoassets that are designed solely to make donations to charities.

Rocks™ have a fixed rate ($1 USD = 1,000 Rocks™) to guarantee their financial value for both consumers who make donations and for charities who receive donations. In other words, Rocks™ are a store of value.

As the value of Rocks™ does not vary depending on supply and demand, Rocks™ do not give rise to any capital gain and are immune to speculation. In that context, there’s no interest in listing Rocks™ on public crypto trading exchange platforms.


Do Rocks™ have an expiration date?

Contrary to loyalty points, Rocks™ do not have an expiration date.

That said, the value of Rocks™ does not fluctuate over time because they have a fixed value: it is therefore pointless to hold Rocks™ indefinitely in your WhatRocks account in hope of future capital gains.

So be generous and donate your Rocks™ now!


What is the environmental impact of Rocks™?

Rocks™ are low carbon crypto assets issued on the Stellar blockchain protocol.

According to the Poseidon Foundation, Stellar transactions 20 million times less carbon emissions than bitcoin, and 55 times less carbon emissions than your Visa card payments!
