Earn points. Optionally claim GENIE tokens.
Earn points for engagement. Optionally claim them as GENIE tokens by connecting a wallet — wallet is not required to earn. GENIE is a utility / retention mechanism — not an investment instrument.
How it works
Step 01
You earn points by participating
Completed Quick Polls and Deep Surveys accrue points to your Journal Genie account. Caps and review pipelines protect the system from farming and abuse — see the Rewards Policy for details.
Step 02
Points are tracked in your account
No wallet is required to earn or accumulate points. The unit of accrual is consistent across your account; the on-chain claim path is optional.
Step 03
Optionally claim as GENIE tokens
When you connect and verify a wallet, your accumulated points become claimable as GENIE tokens through the on-chain distributor. The unit and claim flow are exposed only on the dedicated Claim screen.
Step 04
GENIE is utility, not investment
GENIE is a utility / retention mechanism. We make no promises of profit, yield, price support, exchange listing, equity, or revenue share. Claims open once on-chain deployment is complete.
What this is NOT
- Not yield, return on investment, appreciation, or guaranteed value of any kind.
- Not a profit share or revenue share with Journal Genie or Yotta Byte Labs.
- Not equity, ownership, or governance rights.
- Not redeemable for company assets.
- Not an offering of securities. We do not list, market, or solicit GENIE as an investment.

FAQ
Do I need a wallet to use Journal Genie?
No. The app works fully without a wallet. Points are tracked in your account. A wallet is only required if you want to take the optional step of claiming those points as GENIE tokens on-chain.
What is the relationship between points and GENIE tokens?
They are two views of the same underlying balance. Internally we keep a single reward ledger. The user-facing unit label is "points" by default — when you connect and verify a wallet, the same balance becomes claimable as GENIE tokens on-chain.
Are points or GENIE tokens an investment?
No. Points and GENIE are a utility / retention mechanism. We make no promises of profit, yield, price support, exchange listing, equity, or revenue share. See the Rewards Policy and the Tokenomics & Treasury Policy for the full posture.
When can I claim?
Claims open after the GENIE distributor is deployed on Base and the first reward epoch is published on-chain. Until then, the app surfaces a pre-launch posture on every claim surface. Earning continues to work meanwhile — the accrued balance does not vanish.
What if I never connect a wallet?
You can use Journal Genie indefinitely without ever connecting a wallet. Points stay tracked in your account. If you change your mind later, you can connect a wallet at any time and your accumulated points become claimable as GENIE tokens.
Is the in-app "progress" badge the same as points?
No. The yellow star "progress" badge you see on a survey session is an in-app momentum signal — distinct from the reward ledger. Your Settings → Rewards panel shows the canonical reward-ledger balance.
How are points capped?
Per-day and rolling 30-day caps apply by plan tier. Free: 1 eligible completion/day, 12/month. Pro: 2/day, 36/month. Premium: 4/day, 72/month. Sessions over a cap simply do not record — no partial credit.
Can rewards be reversed or denied?
Yes. Suspected abuse, KYC failure, sanctions screening failure, AUP violations, or platform errors can result in rejection, review-hold, or reversal. The full list of reasons is enumerated in the Rewards Policy.
Sign up. Complete one survey. Points start flowing.
No wallet required to earn. No wallet required to use Journal Genie. Connect later if (and only if) you want to claim points as GENIE tokens on-chain. The app works either way.
