About the Project

StormX built a consumer-facing product that blended traditional cashback mechanics with on-chain rewards. Shoppers browsed linked retailers from the app or extension, activated a reward, and completed purchases normally — StormX then credited crypto cashback to the user account based on partner rates and the user’s membership tier. The platform also exposed micro-task flows (surveys, small tasks), staking paths and token-driven membership benefits so users had multiple earning channels. The team supported withdrawals to external crypto wallets once balances met the platform threshold and published membership levels tied to STMX holdings.

Challenges in Development

Retail partner integration

Integrating reliably with hundreds of merchants and affiliate programs required robust tracking, reconciliation and partner-specific mapping to ensure cashback accuracy.

Compliance & payouts across jurisdictions

Offering crypto payouts globally required KYC/AML workflows, regional payout rules, tax/reporting considerations and wallet-withdrawal guardrails.

Fraud, attribution & reconciliation

Preventing abuse (self-referrals, cancelled orders) and reconciling on-chain rewards with off-chain merchant confirmations created operational and anti-fraud complexity.

Solutions: Our software agency provided

We implemented a resilient partner-integration layer with idempotent tracking and reconciliation so merchant cashback and on-platform crypto issuance aligned reliably. We built a token-aware membership engine that enforced STMX thresholds and decoupled boost math from volatile token prices. We hardened fraud controls and introduced progressive KYC so payouts remained compliant while low-friction earning stayed possible. Finally, we simplified the wallet and withdrawal UX and shipped onboarding content so non-crypto users could earn and redeem rewards with confidence.

Key Features of the Application

1. Crypto Cashback (Shop & Earn)

Users activated retailer offers in the app or extension and received a percentage of their purchase back in crypto as cashback.

2. Membership Tiers (STMX Boosts)

Holding or staking STMX unlocked membership tiers that multiplied cashback rates and sped up payout thresholds.

3. Multi-channel Access (App + Extension)

The product offered a mobile app and a Chrome/Edge/Brave browser extension so users could earn via mobile or desktop shopping flows.

4. Multi-currency Payouts & Withdrawals

Earned rewards were convertible to major cryptocurrencies (and withdrawable to user wallets once minimums were met).

5. Token Utility & Staking (STMX)

The STMX token served as an on-platform utility for boosting rewards, participation in promotions, and governance signals on some product decisions.

Results & Business Impact — Consumer Growth & Revenue Operations

StormX increased user retention and average order frequency because crypto rewards created a sticky value loop that encouraged repeat shopping. Membership tiers driven by STMX holdings raised average order value among engaged members and increased token utility on the platform. Partner reconciliation and fraud controls reduced over-issuance losses and improved margin on merchant partnerships. Streamlined KYC and payout rails shortened time-to-withdraw and improved user satisfaction for cross-border customers.
