Owner’s NFT

Every SPT comes with a unique NFT which serves as your proof of ownership. This NFT is required in order to receive $MMAPS token rewards. When connecting your SPT to the MapMetrics app for the first time, your Owner’s NFT will automatically be transferred to the crypto enabled wallet linked to your MapMetrics account. While it is not possible for the SPT to function without the Owner’s NFT, it is possible to link multiple SPTs to one central wallet as in the case of multiple fleet vehicles earning $MMAPS token rewards to one wallet.   

Bluetooth Connectivity

By utilizing Bluetooth technology, the SPT is able to connect with the MapMetrics app on any properly equipped mobile device. The stable connection optimizes data sharing and is able to detect when other devices are in a radius of ~10 meters (32 ft.). In the event a second device has been detected in the immediate vicinity of the SPT, token rewards are immediately disabled. This feature ensures the fair disbursement of rewards among all users and eliminates the possibility of fraudulent double earning.
