Introduction

We use the blockchain to record beverage shops that offer discounts for customers bringing their own cups.

We reward those shops with CUP-tokens every time customers buy drinks using their own cups. CUP-tokens can be used for other purposes.

Also, Consumers can record their purchases on the chain and accumulate points, which can be exchanged for drinks, etc.
