In DeFi, many loyalty programs rely on a "points" system stored on a centralized database. However, at Nabla, we believe that any project aiming to create a non-custodial solution should adopt a tokenized points system, aligning with the principles of decentralization. And yes, we're not kidding – this isn't some throwback article from **2017**!

Tokenized points program offers several key advantages, including:

1.  **True Ownership:** Not your keys, not your points
    
2.  **Transparency:** It is traceable and provable whether the wallet holds certain points.
    
3.  **Interoperability:** On-chain points can unlock perks for its holder across various Web3 platforms

Alright, just so we're clear: $AMBER represents your contributions to the Nabla ecosystem. Sure, it's a freely transferable ERC-20 token, but remember what our legal squad emphasized:

> $AMBER isn't a store of monetary value or a cryptocurrency, and definitely don't treat it as an investment.

Make sure you also check the [$AMBER FAQ](https://docs.nabla.fi/amber-onchain-points-program/amber-faq) in our docs.

By embracing a tokenized points program, we aim to provide Nabla's citizens with a more transparent, decentralized, and user-centric loyalty experience. Seriously!

To stay updated about upcoming campaigns and initiatives, we encourage all citizens to follow our communication channels closely.
