How It Works

From swipe to wallet,
in 4 seconds.

A deep look at how Nova Rewards uses Stellar and Soroban smart contracts to make loyalty actually belong to you.

1

Merchant integrates Nova API

Merchants drop our SDK into their POS or mobile app. A few lines of code wire purchases to the Nova reward engine. No blockchain expertise required.

2

Customer makes a purchase

The customer pays — cash, card, transfer, whatever. The POS notifies Nova with the customer's Stellar address and amount spent.

3

Points mint on Stellar

Our Soroban contract issues NOVA tokens to the customer's Freighter wallet. Confirmed in ~4 seconds, costs less than a cent.

4

Customer redeems anywhere

Points spend at any partner. Or transfer to a friend. Or swap to USDC on the Stellar DEX. The customer owns them — full stop.
