What is a φtoken?
φtoken is a reward token attributed to users who invested their time and energy in improving content on worldstampsproject.org.
Greek letter φ (phi) is used as a reference to philately, φtoken is therefore a "philatelic token".
What can I do with my φtokens?
Currently you can:
- collect φtokens in your wallet on WSP,
- transfer φtokens to other users on WSP,
- buy stamps in WSP Store.
