Main trade-offs
02 · Rewards programme
Emerald Points are ordinary programme points for comparison, not cashback or a tradeable token. Solayer names future $LAYER allocations, partner airdrops and perks as possible uses, but does not publish a fixed conversion rate, redemption date, guaranteed allocation or cash value.
For one transaction below $100
For one transaction of $2,500 or more
Non-tradeable programme points; not $LAYER tokens
Future allocation is discretionary or undisclosed
03 · Everyday use
Card access, mobile wallets and account rails are separated so missing channels are easy to spot.
04 · Money in and out
Receive and send rails are separated. Fees, speed, limits and availability stay attached to the route where they apply.
