LaunchPad Token Rewards: Current Overview & Future Roadmap
1. PicMap Token Rewards (Launching In Beta January 22, 2025)
What Is PicMap?
PicMap is our first token rewards feature, available within the Adventure Collective Mobile App. Users upload their outdoor adventure or landscape photos, and our system automatically awards in-app tokens based on each photo’s quality.
How It Works
Open the App: Navigate to the PicMap feature to upload your photos.
Earn Tokens: Each approved photo earns an in-app token balance, credited to your user account. Higher-quality images—evaluated by our AI or internal criteria—result in more tokens.
Track Your Balance: Monitor your token earnings in your user dashboard.
Why It Matters
This rewards program encourages the community to share their best scenic spots, trails, and breathtaking views—boosting the app’s curated adventure database with fresh, high-quality content.
Open the app, go to the Account section, and sign up.
This ensures any tokens you earn are credited under your username.
Upload Your Photos to PicMap
From the Home screen, tap PicMap to start uploading your best outdoor adventure or landscape shots.
Our AI photo judge rates each image from 1–100. The higher the score, the more tokens you earn!
Aim for a 90+ Rating
Breaking into the 90+ range unlocks bonus tokens. Keep sharing high-quality photos to climb the leaderboard.
Win Big
Each month, the top 3 rated photos earn a major LaunchPad token bonus:
1st Place: 100,000 tokens
2nd Place: 65,000 tokens
3rd Place: 35,000 tokens
Note: Make sure your photo includes camera metadata (EXIF data) to confirm it’s an original shot.

2. Converting In-App Tokens to LaunchPad (PAD) Crypto
Future Conversion:
Although your PicMap tokens currently live in your in-app account, we plan to enable conversions to actual LaunchPad (PAD) tokens on Solana in the near future.
Once conversions go live, you can withdraw your in-app tokens as PAD, potentially exchanging them for other digital assets if desired.
Real-World Value:
By bridging in-app tokens to a real cryptocurrency, we provide tangible value for your contributions—connecting outdoor exploration with the benefits of blockchain technology.
3. Future Roadmap
3.1 Referral & Reward Bonuses
Next Steps: Introduce a referral program where sharing unique links or QR codes nets you extra tokens.
Benefit: Grow the user base organically and reward community members who bring in new adventurers.
3.2 Adventure Contributions
User-Submitted Adventures: If you submit a new trail or activity and it gets published, you’ll receive a significant token bonus.
Why It’s Cool: You help expand the app’s adventure offerings while earning additional tokens for your contribution.
3.3 Staking & Governance (Long-Term)
Staking Options: As the ecosystem matures, holders of LaunchPad (PAD) may be able to stake tokens for rewards.
Governance Model: We may explore allowing token holders to vote on app improvements or which projects to fund—creating a deeper sense of collective ownership.
3.4 Enhanced AI & Photo Challenges
Advanced AI Photo Judging: Future updates might award even higher token tiers for top-rated images.
Monthly Contests: Themed photography challenges with bonus token prizes for winners, adding a fun, competitive edge.
