How do I back a band and get coins?

Scan a band's NFC beacon or QR code at their live show, or visit their profile on Fan Drops. Enter your phone number, choose an amount (minimum $1), and back instantly with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit card via Stripe.

How does the coin price work?

The spot price walks a reserve-backed line. Coins start at $2.00. The safety floor is $1.00. A buy moves it up. A sell moves it down. A large order is priced in steps of 100 coins, so the average price is higher than the price at the start of the order. The quote shows that average and the coin count before you confirm. Ten percent of other band income can enter the fund without adding coins, which raises the price. BandCoins does not promise that the price will rise.

You can sell coins back from your Wallet, subject to fund limits. Requests queue for the day. If they exceed the cap, each request fills by the same ratio and the rest stays queued.

How do I sell coins back?

Open your Wallet, select the band coin you hold, and choose how many coins to sell back. The request is queued. A filled coin is paid from the coin fund at its backing. The daily cap can fill only part of the request.

I'm in a band. How do I launch my coin?
