πŸ’Έ RiWards

Revolutionizing cashback rewards with instant, transparent blockchain payments. Riwards is built for the EasyA x Ripple APEX Hackathon, this MVP demonstrates how the XRP Ledger can power real-time cashback for online shopping experiences.


βš™οΈ How It Works

  1. User shops on a demo product page (e.g., Fake Nike Shoes – \$100).
  2. They enter their XRP wallet address.
  3. Upon β€œpurchase” (mocked), they instantly receive cashback in XRP.
  4. The cashback transaction is broadcasted on XRPL Testnet.
  5. A link to the blockchain explorer is provided to verify the transaction.

πŸ’‘ No real money involved β€” testnet XRP is used throughout.


πŸš€ Core MVP Features

  • πŸ›οΈ Single Demo Product Page Includes a mock e-commerce UI for user interaction.

  • ⚑ Instant XRP Cashback Distribution Sends 5% of the purchase amount in XRP within 3–5 seconds.

  • πŸ”— Blockchain-Verified Transactions Every cashback has a link to the XRPL explorer.

  • πŸ“œ Recent Cashback History Users can see previous testnet cashback transactions (locally stored or fetched).

  • πŸ§ͺ Testnet-Only Deployment Safe to use and test β€” no real funds required.


πŸ†š Key Differentiator

Traditional cashback platforms take 30–90 days to process rewards via banks. Our platform settles cashback in seconds using the XRP Ledger.
