Credits vs STOP Tokens: What's the Difference?

Understand the two reward layers and how they connect in your wallet.

Introduction

LETSTOP uses two connected reward layers: in app credits and the STOP token. They work together but serve different purposes. This guide explains what each one is, how they relate, and when you might prefer to use one or the other.

What Are LETSTOP Credits?

Credits are the internal reward currency of the LETSTOP app.

  • You earn them by driving safely and achieving good scores
  • They live inside the app and are used in the STOP Store
  • They pay for car upgrades, Mystery Boxes, and other in app rewards
  • Think of credits as points that measure your performance and give you direct access to features that improve your experience.

    What Is the STOP Token?

    The STOP token is the blockchain based representation of your earned value. It exists on the Solana network, which is designed for fast and affordable transactions.

  • STOP can be held in compatible wallets that support Solana tokens
  • It can be moved outside of the app when these options are supported
  • It connects your safe driving achievements to the broader crypto world
  • Credits stay mainly inside LETSTOP, while STOP tokens can eventually move across Solana based platforms that choose to support them.

    How Credits and STOP Tokens Connect

    Inside your LETSTOP wallet, credits and STOP tokens are linked through a simple 1 to 1 conversion mechanism.

  • 1 credit can be converted to 1 STOP token
  • 1 STOP token can be converted back to 1 credit
  • The conversion is handled inside the app wallet, with clear prompts and confirmation
  • This means your safe driving first becomes credits. When you decide, those credits can become STOP tokens without leaving the LETSTOP environment.

    When to Use Credits and When to Use STOP

    It can help to think of credits and STOP tokens as two tools serving different needs.

  • Use credits when you want to: upgrade cars, open Mystery Boxes, improve your earning multipliers, or access in app rewards quickly
  • Use STOP tokens when you want to: hold part of your rewards as a blockchain asset, explore supported platforms in the Solana ecosystem, or integrate your safe driving value with other crypto activities
  • You do not have to choose permanently. The 1 to 1 conversion lets you move between credits and STOP tokens as your goals change.

    Two Layers, One Journey

    At the driving level, nothing changes: the path is still to drive safely, earn good scores, and collect credits. The additional STOP token layer gives you more flexibility in how you store and use the value created by your safe driving, especially as you become more familiar with crypto.
