1.3 First BIND & Check-in

🧭 What is BIND

BIND is the process of linking check-in information with payment data.

By performing a BIND, your everyday payment experiences are reflected in the game as the growth of MANEKINEKO and token acquisition.


📍 About Check-ins

A check-in is an action that records the fact that you actually visited a store.

By visiting a participating store and checking in through the app, subsequent payment data becomes eligible for BIND.

Check-in Steps

  1. Open the app

  2. Tap the “Check-in” button

  3. Search for nearby stores

  4. Select the store you are visiting

  5. Confirm the check-in

🔎 During check-in, only stores within approximately a 300m radius of your current location are displayed. Stores that do not appear are not eligible for SyFu check-ins.

💳 Full Flow Until BIND

Below is the basic flow up to your first BIND.

  1. Visit an eligible store and check in

  2. Make a payment using a credit or debit card

  3. Import the payment details (automatic or manual)

  4. Execute BIND (linking)

  5. Experience points (EXP) are granted to the NFT

  6. If conditions are met, acquire Econ or EVT

    • After acquiring EVT, there is a 24-hour cooldown period

Once this entire flow is completed, your “payment experience” is transformed into NFT growth and reward acquisition.

This is the moment when everyday spending directly becomes a growth action.


🚫 Cases Where Check-in Is Not Available

Check-ins cannot be performed in the following cases:

  • Stores that do not appear in the store search

  • When location information cannot be obtained due to GPS accuracy issues


🎁 About Tokens and Experience Points Earned

What you can earn during a BIND depends on the state of MANEKINEKO at the time of check-in.

You can check the rewards by the color of the displayed mari ball.

  • White mari ball: Experience Points (EXP)

  • Blue mari ball: Econ + EXP

  • Gold mari ball: EVT + EXP
