Virtual Tokens Overview

Virtual tokens can be used to buy and sell digital goods and services on your platform. Depending on your implementation, tokens managed by Tilia can be backed by fiat currency (USD), and sellers may cash out these tokens for real-world value. This enables you to create a rich in-world economy for your users.

Virtual tokens are managed with two wallets:

  • Standard token wallets are used by buyers. Buyers purchase tokens on your platform, and funds are added to their standard wallet. Standard wallets contain tokens that can be spent within the system. Tokens in these wallets cannot be converted.
  • Convertible token wallets are used by sellers, creators, and other users who receive tokens on your platform. Convertible wallet tokens can either be spent or converted to fiat currency. Once converted, funds may be available for cash out through Tilia's payout process.

Depending on the terms of your agreement, users may be required to complete KYC before accruing a convertible token balance. Contact Tilia with questions regarding your terms. All users are required to complete KYC before accruing a fiat balance, regardless of terms.
