Two distinct things live under this heading, and conflating them causes confusion. XOM has an in-app currency system, which is not cryptocurrency. It also has a blockchain container that connects to a user's existing Web3 wallet. This page separates them.
01In-app currencies
XOM's rewards economy uses five named currencies, each with its own acquisition method, cap, and tradability:
| Currency | Role | |---|---| | Tokens | Primary spend currency for themes, skins, products, power-ups | | Renown Points | Progression points earned through activity; not convertible | | Creator Credits | Awarded for featured content and recognition; capped | | Stardust | Limited event currency redeemable for event-exclusive items | | Gems | Premium currency for high-value and limited-time purchases |
All five are non-tradable between users and are held as balances in the platform's own records. Tokens and Gems have a stated purchase rate against USD; the remaining three are earned only. None of these are blockchain assets — there is no chain, no wallet, and no transferability. They are ledger entries in XOM's own database.
02The blockchain container
Separately, XOM ships a blockchain container as one of its element content types. When a post of type elements/blockchain is opened, the container loads Web3.js in the browser and looks for an injected Ethereum provider such as MetaMask. If none is present it reports that plainly rather than failing silently.
With a wallet available, the user can connect it. The container requests account access, reads the connected address, fetches the account balance, converts it from wei to ether for display, and shows a truncated form of the address. The connected address is recorded against the post. If the post carries NFT data, the container displays the token ID and associated wallet address alongside the balance.
The scope here is narrow and worth stating clearly: the container reads a wallet the user already controls and displays what it finds. It does not mint, does not custody funds, does not initiate transactions, and does not hold keys.
03Conversion between the two
A conversion module exists that would exchange earned XP for cash, store credit, or a crypto value at configurable rates above a minimum threshold, and an administrative setting defines an XP-to-currency conversion rate. The internal enhancement charter is explicit that any real-money settlement is a financial boundary to be handled through the platform group's dedicated settlement path rather than a local implementation, and that the existing payout stub is not the mechanism. Until that settlement path is wired, treat conversion out of the in-app economy as not yet available.
