Integrating ZEBEDEE into your product strategy can revolutionize your key performance indicators (KPIs). Experience substantial business growth through our unique payments and reward mechanisms that lead to a notable increase in user retention, engagement, and average revenue per daily active user (ARPDAU) — translating into tangible commercial advantages.

We understand that innovative solutions can face initial skepticism in a perpetually evolving industry. However, we stand firm on the power of empirical evidence. We encourage you to explore our collection of case studies and witness firsthand the transformative potential of ZEBEDEE.

Incorporating ZEBEDEE does not necessitate a comprehensive revamp of your product. Consider ZEBEDEE an enhancement, not a prerequisite, for users to relish their experience on your platform. This allows users who prefer not to engage with cryptocurrency to continue unhindered, independent of the Bitcoin rewards.

However, our research indicates that augmenting your users' experiences with rewards escalates their engagement, as it cultivates a sense of recognition and value. This effect is particularly pronounced when these rewards can be converted into real-world currency that extends its usability beyond isolated experiences. The benefits we bring to your platform are designed to enhance user experience, leading to increased satisfaction and engagement.

Traditional reward systems are limited by the high costs associated with money transfers and the restrictions of digital tokens or gift cards. Bitcoin overcomes these barriers, enabling instantaneous, low-cost, global transactions — even for minimal amounts (<$0.01). This ushers in a new era for reward strategies, offering users access to a real, usable currency as opposed to digital tokens restricted to the specific platform where they were earned. Bitcoin can be utilized in the broader world, significantly enhancing user engagement and satisfaction. By leveraging Bitcoin as a reward mechanism, you offer a more enticing, valuable, and universally accessible incentive for your users.

Bitcoin intended for rewards can be directly purchased on our platform by our partners, who often then distribute the Bitcoin to users. This process serves as a self-financing mechanism, acting as a modest revenue share with users. By channeling a part of their revenue into Bitcoin rewards, partners can effectively boost user engagement and loyalty, thus creating a positive cycle of growth and profitability.

A sat (or “satoshi”) is the smallest unit of Bitcoin - like the US dollar has cents, Bitcoin has sats. The name comes from the mysterious creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Because ZEBEDEE runs on Bitcoin, we use sats for our payments.
1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 sats.

Haha! ZEBEDEE is not a get-rich scheme. Nobody is buying a lambo by solely earning from in-game currencies. That said our users around the world have been able use their rewards to purchase real goods and services.

You can transfer Bitcoin from the ZBD app to any exchange or other Bitcoin wallet that supports the Lightning Network. Unfortunately, not all wallets support this functionality at this stage, but more are adding support for the Lightning Network all the time!

3. Tip streamers and content creators on Twitter and Twitch

1. OKCoin
2. Bitfinex

Without verifying your identity, you can send and receive up to 10,000,000 sats per month and hold up to 500,000 sats in your wallet at any time.
Once you’ve verified your identity, the limits increase to 50,000,000 sats volume per month and 5,000,000 sats maximum balance in your wallet.
As both ZEBEDEE and the Bitcoin Lightning Network grow, these limits will increase.

You do not need to provide any personal information to start using ZEBEDEE. However, without verifying your identity, you can only send and receive up to 10,000,000 sats per month and hold 500,000 sats in your wallet at any time. To increase these limits, you will have to provide photos of your ID and a quick selfie.
This is due to international anti-money laundering regulations, which make it obligatory for us to identify customers that use our products to move significant amounts of money, to make sure we are not aiding in any illegal activity.

The ZBD app is a Bitcoin Lightning wallet, which means it runs on the Lightning Network, which is a second layer built on top of Bitcoin. It works like any other Lightning wallet, which means transactions are instant and fees are very low (or even zero). But what sets our wallet apart is that it's packed full of unique features for gamers and content creators:

And more..

We work with other companies and sponsors to provide the sats inside games. That’s why we’re able to hand out Bitcoin through games without asking for anything in return. We are also investigating other business models, but for now the free sats are provided by sponsors and brands who believe in what we’re building.

For now, Bitcoin games only exist for PC and mobile, with casual mobile games leading the way. We're sure console games with Bitcoin integrations will start popping up soon, but it takes a long time to develop a game and this technology is still very new, so it pays to be patient!

We are open to all types and sizes of product creators, including game studios, application developers, and ad-tech platforms. We simply require you to reside in a supported country and create experiences that do not include gambling or otherwise violate our Terms of Service.

No, we do not support any types of gambling games or apps and will restrict access to the Developer Dashboard for companies building gambling products.

A ZEBEDEE partner is basically any company that wants to work with us, but is not a game development studio. Broadly speaking, there are three categories of partners, but feel free to reach out for a partnership even if you do not fall into any of these!

Exchanges and FinTechs – Provide on-/off-ramps for ZEBEDEE or integrate our tech into your own products and platforms.
Platforms that serve the gaming industry – Like game stores, platforms for game devs, game engine providers and similar.
Sponsors and Advertisers -– This can be any company that wants to sponsor Bitcoin games as a way to bring their brand to our highly-engaged community of Bitcoin gamers.
