What is a capsule?

A capsule is a participation unit — a challenge, an unlock, a reward, a scan experience, and a real-world engagement flow bundled into one interactive container.

1

Challenge

Set the goal. What does the participant need to do?

2

Unlock

Gate the experience. Verification, proof, or action required.

3

Scan

Verify at the node. Physical confirmation that the loop is real.

4

Reward

Deliver value. Redemption, access, or recognition.

Why capsules work

  • Physical verification — no bots, no fake engagement
  • Real-world traceability — every scan is a real location
  • Flexible rewards — access, merchandise, experiences, or digital assets
  • Creator and brand control — you design the loop

A capsule in action

Imagine a Sunday chicken dinner at a local cafe in Cambridge. The creator drops a capsule called Sunday Chicken. Fans claim it online, arrive at the node, scan the code, and the reward unlocks right there — a reserved seat, a signature side, or a limited-edition apron. No app required. No wallet needed. Just a claim, a scan, and a real moment.
