What is DivinityCoin?

A simple gift card system for crowdfunding - not a cryptocurrency

DivinityCoin is a Gift Card System

Think of DivinityCoin exactly like a gift card balance at your favorite store. It's a platform credit you can use to back projects on IndieCrowdfund. It is NOT a cryptocurrency, blockchain token, or volatile investment.

DivinityCoin IS:

  • A gift card balance for our platform
  • A platform credit stored in your account
  • Stable value - 1 DivinityCoin = $1 USD always
  • A simple way to back projects without a card
  • A reward creators can give to loyal backers
  • Easy to use - no crypto knowledge needed

DivinityCoin is NOT:

  • A cryptocurrency or blockchain token
  • An investment or speculative asset
  • Volatile - it doesn't fluctuate in value
  • Convertible back to cash or real currency
  • Requiring a crypto wallet or special software
  • Tradeable on exchanges or between users

How DivinityCoin Works

1. Get DivinityCoin

Receive DivinityCoin as rewards, gifts, or purchase it directly on the platform.

2. Check Your Balance

Your DivinityCoin balance appears in your account dashboard. 1 coin = $1 USD.

3. Back a Project

At checkout, select DivinityCoin as your payment method to use your balance.

4. Support Creators

Your pledge helps bring creative projects to life. That's it - simple as that!
