## Description

Meritocracy is a Near protocol-powered gamification plugin for WordPress that enable
users to use crypto as reward tokens. The world’s first near-powered gamification
plugin uses myCred’s point management system technology to gamify your website so
you can create loyalty and rewards programs.

**Meritocracy is dependent on [myCred](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/) – 
a free-to-use points management plugin for WordPress.**

### Increase customer engagement without spending a fortune on marketing efforts.

Meritocracy’s technology of buying and selling crypto tokens is called BuyNear and
CashNear. These features empower users to purchase or sell their tokens on your 
website with exchange rates that you set.

User-bought Near tokens will be converted into myCred points that can be spent on
activities performed on your website. Users can also earn these points through reward-
based events and triggers.

#### Meritocracy Features

 * Users can purchase myCred points using Near tokens
 * Users can withdraw myCred points for Near tokens
 * Transfer myCred points between users.
 * Users can submit a withdrawal request for their points.
 * Set up exchange rates for myCred points.
 * Connect multiple payment gateways to your websites like Stripe and Coinbase.
 * Connect the website to your digital crypto wallet.
 * buyCred Payment Gateways include PayPal, BitPya, NetBilling, Skrill, and Bank
   Transfer.
 * [cashCred Payment Gateways](https://mycred.me/store/cashcred-paypal/) include
   Bank Transfer and CashNear.

#### Why use Meritocracy?

Meritocracy allows you to gamify your website and monetize products and activities
in exchange for myCred points which are bought with Near crypto. Website users can
earn myCred points just by doing activities such as logging in or posting a comment.

Here are some examples of how Meritocracy can be used:

 * Games that use a play-to-earn paradigm, which allows players to earn points as
   they play.
 * Enabling the exchange of digital assets such as digital photos, memes, and video
   clips.
 * Learning management systems that reward points for course completion.
 * eCommerce stores where purchasing can be done with points.
 * Reward users with points for activities like joining a community, leaving comments,
   publishing content, logging in, or just visiting your website once a day.

#### What is myCred?

[myCred](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mycred/) is an intelligent and adaptive points
management system that allows you to build and manage a broad range of digital rewards
including points, ranks, badges, and cashback on your WordPress/WooCommerce powered
website
