Shared Loyalty Layer

Earn at one brand.
Redeem across them all.

Stand up a shared loyalty point balance customers can earn at one retail brand and redeem at any participating brand in the network. The ERC-20 Token, Wallet Authentication, and Subgraph Indexer modules maintain one balance per customer that every brand can recognize for both earning and redemption.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn siloed, per-brand point stashes into one shared balance that lifts the value of the whole program.

01.

Unified Point Balance

Hold one balance per customer. The ERC-20 Token represents loyalty points as a shared asset, so points earned at one brand are the same points redeemable at another in the group.

02.

Cross-Brand Earning

Accrue everywhere. Any participating brand issues points to the shared balance on a qualifying purchase, so the customer builds value across the whole retail group rather than in isolated pools.

03.

Any-Brand Redemption

Spend everywhere. A customer redeems their balance at checkout with any brand in the network, which burns the points and settles the value, raising the perceived worth of the program.

04.

Wallet-Linked Identity

Bind points to the customer, not the brand. Wallet Authentication ties the balance to a customer identity, so it follows them across brands, apps, and devices.

05.

Real-Time Balance Index

Show a live, consistent balance. The Subgraph Indexer serves each brand the same up-to-date balance, so earning at one store reflects instantly when the customer shops at the next.

06.

Inter-Brand Settlement

Reconcile value between brands. When points earned at one brand are redeemed at another, the ledger records the liability transfer so the group settles fairly between its members.

The Loyalty Lifecycle

Follow a customer's points from earning at one brand to redemption at another across the shared network.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes shared loyalty into modular contracts. Each layer links identity, mints and burns points, indexes the live balance, and settles value between brands without a single brand owning the pool.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Shared cross-brand loyalty is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors in a retail group put the shared balance to work.

Multi-Brand Retail Groups

Lift program value across the portfolio. A group lets customers earn and redeem across every brand it owns, deepening engagement without merging separate loyalty systems by hand.

Customers & Members

Get more from every point. Shoppers build one balance across brands and spend it wherever they like in the network, so points no longer expire stranded in a single-brand silo.

Coalition Partners

Join a loyalty coalition without ceding control. Independent brands settle cross-redemptions on shared rails, sharing customers while keeping their own accounting clean.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging existing loyalty and POS systems or routing native wallet-based points, Cerulea maintains one shared balance every brand can recognize.

Track A: Loyalty & POS Bridging

For retail groups on legacy loyalty and point-of-sale systems. Earn and redeem events are translated into shared on-chain point movements through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Native Wallet Loyalty

For app-native and Web3 storefronts. Customers earn and redeem points directly from a wallet, with balances settled on-chain across participating brands.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects loyalty-platform engineering benchmarks. Unifying per-brand point systems, building live balance indexing, and settling cross-brand redemptions for an average group takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your earning and redemption rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared loyalty ledger instantly.
