PoX³: Protocol
PoX³: Network-of-Proof
Per Diem’s PoX³ Network-of-Proof is being designed as the future memory engine of the ecosystem—a framework that recognizes and validates the moments that matter. Proof-of-Exchange, Proof-of-Experience, and Proof-of-Excellence form the foundation of this system, shaping how participation, presence, and positive action may one day be acknowledged throughout the Per Diem network.
Rather than treating engagement as simple data, PoX³ envisions each verified moment as a living artifact—an evolving expression of story, identity, and connection. Across dining, retail, hospitality, travel, and everyday life, fleeting encounters could become meaningful markers within a unified rewards journey.
While still in conceptual development, the PoX³ framework represents Per Diem’s belief that engagement deserves recognition and that presence itself can become a form of value—captured, remembered, and transformed into purposeful reward.
Exchange - Experience - Excellence
PoX₁ - Proof-of-Exchange
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
Proof-of-Exchange (PoX₁) represents the foundation of Per Diem’s future rewards model by validating the moments where real transactions take place. Whether a purchase, redemption, or brand-sponsored action, PoX₁ is envisioned to confirm that engagement occurred authentically and meaningfully. This verification will play a central role in triggering rewards within the Revenue & Rewards Program and ensuring that brand-sponsored value flows to the right participants.
Within Per Diem’s conceptual operational framework, PoX₁ would integrate with merchant systems to acknowledge verified exchanges and link them to campaign incentives, streak bonuses, or other reward mechanisms. More than a timestamp, PoX₁ aspires to reflect the significance of each exchange—turning everyday purchases into foundational building blocks of a trusted value ecosystem.
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
Proof-of-Experience (PoX₂) is being designed to recognize and honor the emotional, contextual, and human aspects of engagement. It focuses not just on what happened, but on where, when, and how individuals interact with brands, venues, and communities. In Per Diem’s future ecosystem, PoX₂ could represent meaningful milestones—dining at a favorite venue, attending a community event, discovering a new product, or participating in a campaign experience.
As the platform evolves, PoX₂ may be expressed through evolving digital artifacts or future collectibles, capturing the narrative of an experience rather than simply recording the action. These markers are intended to deepen loyalty, create personal connection, and open pathways for enhanced rewards tied to exploration, discovery, and community participation.
PoX₃ - Proof-of-Excellence
PoX₂ - Proof-of-Experience
PoX₃ - Proof-of-Excellence
Proof-of-Excellence (PoX₃) is Per Diem’s aspirational framework for recognizing acts of service, dedication, generosity, and skill across the ecosystem. Designed to acknowledge the people who make experiences better—staff members who go above and beyond, merchants demonstrating exceptional care, and consumers who contribute positively to their communities.
The future, PoX₃ achievements may inspire the minting of Guardian Angel digital collectibles, serving as acknowledgments of excellence, gratitude, and impact. These markers elevate recognition beyond traditional reward systems, transforming positive actions into meaningful expressions of identity and contribution. PoX₃ reinforces the long-term vision: an ecosystem where value is earned not only through transactions, but through the excellence and humanity people bring to everyday life.
NFTs & Badges: Per Diem's Living Keepsakes
Turning everyday presence into collectible stories, artistic mementos, giving meaning to stored valu
In Per Diem’s future ecosystem, NFTs and digital badges are envisioned as living keepsakes—artifacts that transform everyday engagement into a meaningful record of presence, participation, and excellence. Rather than simple tokens, each NFT represents a moment: a verified purchase, a shared experience, or an act of service captured through the PoX³ Network-of-Proof.
In this conceptual model, each PoX-verified action—whether at a point-of-sale or within the Per Diem app—may mint a unique NFT belonging to a specific series.
Different layers of PoX mint different families of collectibles:
- PoX₁ (Proof-of-Exchange) → foundation series tied to verified transactions
- PoX₂ (Proof-of-Experience) → experiential series capturing emotional or contextual milestones
- PoX₃ (Proof-of-Excellence) → honorific series recognizing service, generosity, or exceptional contributions
Over time, users could collect, trade, stack, or stake these NFTs for enhanced rewards, access privileges, or evolving badge upgrades—creating both sentimental and functional value. Some series may feature special edition artwork from commissioned artists, cultural collaborators, or winners of community competitions, turning each piece into a blend of utility, creativity, and narrative identity.
Per Diem also plans to explore brand-collaborative NFT series, enabling sponsors to showcase missions, causes, seasonal themes, or limited-run campaigns that deepen loyalty and extend storytelling across digital and physical touchpoints.
While still in conceptual development, these digital keepsakes represent Per Diem’s long-term vision:
a future where moments are minted, memories are honored, and participation becomes a collectible and potentially tradable expression of one’s journey through the ecosystem.
