Building Vibrant, Inclusive,
Green and Prosperous Cities
Qoin helps cities and communities around the world to reward the
social
and ecological citizenship needed to build vibrant city environments.
Local, City and Regional-Scale Currencies incentivize local over long-distance trade and strengthen the economy for small and medium-sized businesses.
Green, Social & Health rewards encourage people to care of their health, each other, neighbourhoods and cities. We coined this "Impact-as-a-Service".
Helping Urban, Regional and Local governments as well as public and private organizations to improve their social, economic and environmental programs.

Our Products, Services and Projects
Currency Design Training and Consultation
Thousands of communities around the world have designed and implemented local currency systems as a tool for increasing local economic activity, enhancing the local environment and improving social cohesion and integration, among a wide variety of other possible outcomes.
Qoin Foundation has a long history in empowering citizens and local communities by giving support in designing and implementing tools for increasing regional economic activity, enhancing the local environment and improving social cohesion and integration.
Social and Economic Empowerment Currencies
Social Currencies are of interest for institutions, local governments, and informal organisations. Qoin offers assistance with implementing TimeBanks, LETS and GEM. In TimeBanks, members turn their voluntary time into valuable ‘hour’-credits that can be spend at other members. In LETS, members exchange goods and services using their own LETS-credits; all offers are findable on the mutual marketplace. In GEM, citizens get rewards for giving community work from local institutions, community organisations, and local governments; think of it as a loyalty program for community service.

For TimeBanks and LETS, we use the open source Cyclos payments platform as it is the most secure, robust and scalable platform.
