Fedow is a free/libre open source software (FLOSS) solution for creating and managing groups of local, complementary, and citizen currencies (MLCC) within a federated network. It connects different point-of-sale servers (TiBillet/LaBoutik) to share cashless cards, memberships, and currencies among users in an open, secure, and transparent network.
- Efficient blockchain: Proof of Authority (PoA), non-speculative, transaction traceability.
- Interoperability: Connects multiple LaBoutik (cash register) and Lespass (ticketing, memberships) instances.
- Dematerialized wallets: Multi-card (NFC, RFID, QRCode), multi-asset (currencies, time, memberships) management.
- HTTP API and Python client: Usable standalone or integrated.
Fedow is used for:
- Festival cashless systems
- Loyalty programs
- Local currencies
- Subscriptions and memberships
- Time tracking and badge readers
