This backend demonstates the ability to buy loyalty points of business. Points are stored on the NEO blockchain so users are able to freely send to other users. Points can be redeemed at the business. Business can launch its own loyalty program easily.
There are several components.
It's a smart contract written in C# that conforms NEP5 protocol with additional methods that only owner of the smart contract can invoke such as mintTokensTo, burnTokens, useTokens
neo-utils is used to invok a smart contract.
This is used to watch an incoming transaction of a particular smart contract. In this case, It parses data of the transaction and verify with external source such as payment processor. If it's valid then send user an email about the transaction or even push notification to the mobile device.
This will be used to parse the NEP9 QR code shows on the terminal at the business to let user scans it to invoke the smart contract easily.
This application is just a demo so it skips some of the components needed to make it more resilient such as Messaging Queue and other things. A complete solution will be built soon.
This article contains good information about why putting customer loyalty rewards programs on the blockchain makes sense. We believe NEO is a great fit for it.
