Pixie is a discovery, payment and reward platform that connects independent businesses to people, so they trade freely, quickly and securely anywhere in the world.
In a world where values and culture are being diluted, meaningful connections become more important than ever before, and connections are driven by experiences. Independent businesses are at the heart of our communities and when they thrive, we all thrive. They provide us with a common ground and introduce us to people and places where connections can be made. From meeting a friend for a coffee to traditional markets, festivals, local events, community groups, social enterprises and everything in between.
Whether it’s your local bakers, street vendors or B&B we believe that where, how and why you spend your time and money matters now more than ever. It helps to build connections. It brings people back into communities to discover and experience a world full of interesting and unique people. We are striving to connect communities of independent businesses across the world by providing a unique platform to help people discover, pay and get rewarded wherever they go. In doing so, we want to create a more local world where you can feel like a local wherever you find yourself. Imagine a world where millions of people can seamlessly discover, pay and get rewarded across a global community of independent businesses. And all done simply through their smartphone, backed by a decentralised tailor-made cryptocurrency.
Pixie started as an idea back in 2013 when the founder, Greg Barden, was on a mission to create a more local world. In 2017, Pixie launched its first app and began trading. As Pixie continues to expand with over £100,000 of transactions already taken place, Greg believes it's now the right time to begin the next phase for Pixie. Today Pixie supports a number of local communities from artisan coffee shops to local events to street vendors, we believe that where, how and why you spend your time and money matters more than ever. It helps to build connections. It brings people back into communities to discover and experience a world full of interesting and unique people.

It brings people back into communities to discover a local world full of interesting & unique independent businesses & people to experience and connect to.
The Case for CryptocurrencyPivoting from our existing centralised architecture to a decentralised model will allow the business to scale rapidly and globally. Taking advantage of frictionless, fast and low-fee transactions will allow Pixie to reach into new territories.
Pixie will create a dual wallet for users, retaining the existing e-money wallet for day-to-day transactions, and then creating a new open and transparent cryptocurrency wallet through our Pixie token.
This dual-wallet approach gives businesses the stability of taking day-to-day payments in fiat currencies, whilst simultaneously introducing cryptocurrencies to users in a safe and exciting way by awarding Pixie Tokens for transactions.
Over time we foresee that cryptocurrencies will become established and mainstream, and during this period we anticipate that use of the Pixie Tokens will increase, and that trust in the cryptocurrency space, in general, will increase.

Pixie Token Roadmap:Overview For Merchants- The increasing encroachment of chain stores to high streets across the western world has pushed up ground rents and rates to a prohibitive degree, forcing independent businesses to locate further away from the centre of towns. The reduced footfall of these areas causes a discovery problem--how to attract new customers in-store when they are harder to find?
- Merchants have many options for taking payments in-store, but none are tailored specifically towards independent businesses, and merchants perceive that they are getting poor value for money for the service provided. There is a desire for a lightweight, fast and cost-effective alternative.
- Merchants lack a means to rewards customers in a cost-effective way, without having to buy expensive hardware solutions, or fall back to basic paper-and-stamp loyalty cards.
- It’s very difficult for a small independent business to collect and utilise customer data in a meaningful way compared to the intelligent systems that big chain store franchises have available to them.
For Customers- Customers value having a unique and positive experience in-store, instead of the bland, homogenous experience of chain stores. There is no single curated guide to independent businesses that customers can use to locate this kind of experience easily.
- There is no way to be rewarded for supporting independent businesses, and no way for a customer to demonstrate their affection for independent businesses and the variety, experience and quality they bring.
- Payment options are very limited in independent businesses, often requiring customers to walk to the nearest cashpoint to pay for smaller items (due to the high charges levied on smaller purchases for the merchant).
VisionThe vision is for Pixie to become established as a payment platform of choice for independent businesses, and a one-stop solution for customers to discover, pay, and earn rewards at independent businesses across the globe.
The Pixie Platform comprises three aspects of Discovery, Payment, and Rewards, to provide a ‘virtuous cycle’ for merchants and customers.
