General Questions

How sybil resistant are conditional rewards?

Conditional rewards can only be claimed once per platform user ID, meaning that if you have the same Twitter account connected to multiple THX accounts, only one of these accounts will be eligible for claiming the conditional reward.

When a user claims a conditional rewards we ask the user to connect their external platform account so we can validate the expected user behaviour through the platform API's on behalf of the connected user.

How eco-friendly are tokens?

Very good question! You’ve surely heard about the massive amounts of energy that some blockchain projects use. THX Network is worried about this as well, which is why we’re building on the Polygon sidechain, which is the eco-friendly blockchain that’s scaling Ethereum.

Blockchain & Crypto Basics

I’ve heard about blockchain, but what is it exactly?

A blockchain is a public database that is updated and shared across many computers in a network. "Block" refers to data and state being stored in consecutive groups known as "blocks". "Chain" refers to the fact that each block cryptographically references its parent. In other words, blocks get chained together. The data in a block cannot change without changing all subsequent blocks, which would require the consensus of the entire network. For more information, check out the public resources provided by the Ethereum blockchain.

What is cryptocurrency?

A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency that is secured by cryptography, which makes it nearly impossible to counterfeit or double-spend. Well known crypto currencies are Bitcoin and Ethereum. A defining feature of cryptocurrencies is that they are generally not issued by any central authority, rendering them theoretically immune to government interference or manipulation.

What is a crypto wallet? Do I need to have one already?

Crypto wallets store your private keys (similar to a password), keeping your tokens safe and accessible. They also allow you to send, receive, and spend cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Wallet management is a crucial part of web3, that a lot of web2 users don’t have experience with. That’s why THX Network manages users’ wallets for them, in a very secure way. When users claim rewards for the first time, a wallet will be automatically created. Users only need to remember a traditional e-mail & password combination or login through Single Sign On to access their wallet.
