Token YNG: Q1 2025 Report

Token Young (YNG): updates and news Q4 2024

The Q1 2025 Report on the YNG Token. What has happened? What are the next steps?

The first months of 2025 have concluded with tangible results for our ecosystem, and, most importantly, several key developments related to our strategy for organic growth. Amid evolving regulations and the launch of new services, we are laying the foundations to make Young Platform increasingly central to the financial lives of our users.

There are also several updates specifically concerning the Young (YNG) token, the beating heart of our ecosystem. The strategy we have adopted aims to facilitate the token’s organic growth while mitigating the risk of excessive selling pressure that could undermine its long-term stability and value. However, this section appears exclusively in the members-only version of our report, which for the first time will be split into two editions:

  • A public version, accessible to all, outlining the achievements reached and new services launched.
  • An exclusive version, reserved for Club members, providing in-depth insights into data, future strategies—including key strategic decisions concerning the growth of the YNG token—and updates on the Young (YNG) tokenomics, including figures on issuance, distribution, and, for this edition, additional information on decentralised listing.

If you’re overcome with curiosity, there’s only one thing to do: join one of the Young Platform Clubs. If you’re already a member… what are you still doing here? Check your inbox: the deluxe version—musically speaking—of this report is waiting for you.

2025 So Far: Achievements and Newly Released Features

During the initial months of 2025, a significant part of our efforts has been dedicated to addressing the regulatory and fiscal aspects of the crypto sector. In addition to the work initiated months ago to ensure compliance with the European Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), we have launched initiatives focused on taxation to provide our users with comprehensive tools to handle their tax declarations in a simple, secure, and compliant manner in line with Italian regulations.

At the same time, we have continued to advance our planned strategic projects. Our overarching goal for this year remains clear: to become a digital hub that merges the best of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralised finance (DeFi). However, the path to achieving this is now enriched with new, early milestones.

Young Platform’s Tax Services

For three years, we have been supporting our users with tailored financial solutions. What began as a simple report has evolved into a full-fledged ecosystem of tools designed to make the tax declaration process quick and stress-free. Today, we offer the following documents, all updated for the 2025 tax filing season:

  • Young Platform Tax Report: For those who use our exchange exclusively.
  • Young-Okipo Tax Report: For users active on multiple exchanges, including decentralised platforms, those holding NFTs, or engaging with DeFi protocols.
  • Transaction Report: To neatly archive the history of trades, orders, and Smart Trades.
  • Stamp Duty Receipt: To be retained for any potential tax audits.
  • Crypto Accountant Service: For those who prefer to rely on an expert to manage their tax declaration directly.

The Box

One of the standout features of Q1 2025 has undoubtedly been The Box, our competition designed to make the world of finance more accessible, dynamic, and engaging. The initiative has proven to be a great success, with thousands of users actively participating, completing missions, climbing the leaderboard, and contributing to the ongoing development of the Young Platform ecosystem. The current competition is scheduled to conclude on 31 May, and shortly thereafter, we will announce the winners and distribute the prizes.

At the heart of the initiative is the Young Card, our phosphorescent debit card offering cashback in YNG. It is a cornerstone of our long-term vision.

Club Price Rebalancing Mechanism

Since 4 February 2025, access to Young Platform’s Clubs has been governed by a monthly price adjustment mechanism based on the market value of YNG. The objective is to maintain a stable entry cost in euros, ensuring a balance between accessibility and the token’s value:

  • If the price of YNG decreases, the number of tokens required increases proportionally.
  • If the price of YNG increases, the number of tokens required decreases, though less sharply, thanks to a discount factor.

This system, with pricing updated on the first Tuesday of each month, prevents the Clubs from becoming either excessively exclusive or too inexpensive in the event of significant price fluctuations.

Updated Prices for May 2025 (YNG Price = €0.193):

  • Bronze: 1,865 YNG
  • Silver: 6,217 YNG
  • Gold: 12,435 YNG
  • Platinum: 31,088 YNG

New Club Benefits

The first quarter of 2025 has also been particularly rewarding for members of Young Platform’s Clubs, with the introduction of new exclusive benefits designed to enrich the user experience both financially and personally. Here are some of the most notable additions:

  • BuiltDifferent: A personalised fitness and nutrition platform that allows users to follow tailored workout programmes, access advanced nutritional plans, and enhance their lifestyle—wherever they are. All of this is offered under significantly more favourable conditions than those of a traditional personal trainer.
  • Milano Finanza: One of Italy’s most authoritative sources for investors. Club members now enjoy free access to premium content and daily analysis on markets, macroeconomics, and investment strategies—a practical tool for making better-informed decisions.
  • Serenis: Italy’s number one online medical centre for psychological support. Through our partnership, Club members benefit from access to counselling and therapeutic support at preferential rates, because financial and emotional well-being should always go hand in hand.

These benefits are in addition to the already extensive range of advantages available to Club members—from financial education and exclusive privileges on crypto services to personal well-being and new growth opportunities.

And this is just the beginning: new partnerships are already in development to make the Young Clubs even more comprehensive, distinctive, and aligned with a truly holistic vision of value.

An example? Exclusive access to the most analytical and data-rich section of this Report. While transparency has always guided us in publicly sharing all information related to the YNG token—including supply, purchases, sales, and emissions—starting with this first quarter of 2025, we have chosen to reserve such in-depth analyses exclusively for our Club members, who are direct holders of Young (YNG) and primary supporters of our ecosystem.

Our most engaged supporters deserve full transparency regarding the strategies shaping the future. Therefore, in the members-only version of this Report, we delve into the measures adopted to safeguard the value of YNG and foster sustainable, organic growth.

We will explore plans for the token’s future presence on the decentralised market and clearly outline the carefully considered reasons behind our decision to decline specific proposals from certain venture capital firms concerning the YNG token. This was a strategic decision made to protect our community from potential selling pressure and the dilution of the token’s value.

These strategic insights are a privilege reserved for those who actively live and shape the Young Platform ecosystem.

MiCA: Our Journey Towards Full Regulatory Compliance

With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2023/1114 on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA), the European Union has introduced a harmonised regulatory framework that will govern the issuance, public offering, and admission to trading of crypto-assets, as well as related services. This marks a significant step forward for the entire sector, aimed at ensuring greater transparency, consumer protection, and market stability.

We are fully committed to responsibly and diligently aligning with this new regulatory framework. This article aims to inform our users about the steps we have taken in compliance with Article 45, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree No. 129/2024—the legislative decree aligning national regulations with the MiCA Regulation—while also reassuring them of the continuity of our services and the absence of any immediate changes to their experience.

What Article 45, Paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree 129/2024 Provides

Article 45, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree No. 129/2024 establishes a transitional regime for entities already operating legally within the European Union before the Regulation comes into force, namely 30 December 2024.

In practical terms, this provision allows entities already active in the sector to continue providing their services without interruption until 30 December 2025, even if they have not yet obtained the new authorisation required by MiCA, provided that they submit their application for authorisation by 30 June 2025.

This rule aims to ensure a smooth transition to the new regime, avoiding sudden disruptions for operators and inconvenience for end users.

Our Commitment to Compliance

In compliance with the MiCA Regulation and Article 45, paragraph 5, of Legislative Decree No. 129/2024, we wish to officially communicate our intention to fully align with the new European regulatory framework, particularly with the MiCA Regulation.

We have already initiated all the necessary activities to prepare our application for authorisation, which we will shortly submit to the competent Authority. This process includes adapting our internal procedures, organisational requirements, and risk management policies to the new regulatory framework.

Our legal and compliance teams are working diligently to ensure we meet all MiCA requirements, allowing us to operate lawfully and continue providing our clients with secure, reliable, and transparent services.

Initiating the Authorisation Process

We can confirm that the Company is working to submit the application for authorisation in accordance with the requirements set out by MiCA.

We will forward the necessary documentation to the competent authority in the coming weeks. This marks a crucial step in our compliance journey and reflects our dedication to operating in complete regulatory alignment, not only out of obligation but as a commitment to our users.

We would like to clarify that, pending the issuance of the authorisation, the activities carried out concerning clients will continue to be governed by the applicable legislation for providers of services related to the use of virtual currencies and digital wallet services, and are not yet subject to the provisions of the MiCA Regulation.

Service Continuity for Our Clients

We wish to reassure all our users that our services will remain fully operational throughout the entire transitional period provided for in Article 45.

There will be no disruptions to the services you are accustomed to or unilateral changes to existing contractual terms. Operational continuity is our top priority, and we will continue to uphold the quality, reliability, and security that define our service.

No Immediate Impact on User Experience

As of today, and until further notice, no substantial changes are expected in how you interact with our platform. The features, services, and terms of use will remain unchanged.

This means you can continue using our tools as usual, without taking any specific action. Any future changes will be communicated in advance and with complete transparency.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Ongoing Updates

We believe in maintaining open and transparent communication with you. That’s why we are committed to regularly informing you about the progress of our authorisation process and any regulatory developments that may affect our services.

Should any significant updates arise, you will be the first to know via our official communication channels. Our customer support team is always here to help if you have any questions or concerns.

Crowdfunding in crypto: all the advantages and how to do it

Crowdfunding in crypto

How does crowdfunding operate in the cryptocurrency sector? It is an innovative approach to raising capital.

Cryptocurrency crowdfunding is a new, direct, immediate, simple and participative way to raise capital. This approach has gained popularity because it allows companies and individuals to quickly access funding or invest in rapidly growing startups.

Businesses seeking financial support and individuals wanting to fund their projects can use cryptocurrency crowdfunding platforms. These platforms enable them to reach a broad base of potential investors without depending on traditional banking channels or venture capital. In this article, we will explore crypto crowdfunding and how it works.

What it is and how it works

Crypto crowdfunding is a fundraising method that utilises cryptocurrencies instead of traditional fiat currency as the primary source of capital. Unlike conventional fundraising, this process often occurs without intermediaries or third parties, enabling investors to access opportunities directly.

This approach significantly speeds up the fundraising process and improves security and transparency. Today, startups can leverage blockchain technology and smart contracts to raise capital quickly and efficiently, bypassing the cumbersome procedures that were common before the digital age.

The advantages of crowdfunding in crypto

Cryptocurrency crowdfunding offers several advantages over traditional funding methods. First, it is generally more efficient, faster, and flexible, providing a reliable infrastructure. This efficiency is crucial for both companies seeking funding and investors.

Companies benefit from the security provided by smart contracts, which leverage the transparency of blockchain technology to manage fundraising effectively. The blockchain permanently records all transactions and details related to fundraising, ensuring complete transparency. This allows investors to monitor how their funds are used in real-time.

Additionally, cryptocurrency crowdfunding provides global access to investors, eliminating the geographical barriers often found in traditional funding. Like conventional crowdfunding, investors are encouraged and supported in evaluating the organisations or projects they wish to fund, but they have access to more independent information for their research.

The main types

There are various types of crowdfunding in the crypto space, with the most well-known—though often misused—being Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). This fundraising method can be safe and beneficial; a prime example is the ICO of Ethereum, which allowed the project’s first supporters, led by Vitalik Buterin, to invest early on. However, when successful ideas emerge, they tend to be exploited by many, including those with questionable intentions who are simply looking to profit.

Only two parties typically participate in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs): the company and the investors. Initially, the start-up launching the fundraising event presents its project to potential investors through a whitepaper summarising the business plan. Additionally, the presence of a token is crucial, and it must have a specific function. For example, the token may grant investors access to certain services related to the product or provide them with a share of the company’s future dividends.

Following the rise and decline of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), new forms of crowdfunding in the cryptocurrency space emerged, including Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs). IEOs signify a notable advancement in crypto crowdfunding, as cryptocurrency exchange platforms directly handle them. Unlike independent ICOs, IEOs involve an exchange that oversees the crowdfunding process.

The main advantages of Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) include:

1. Increased Security: IEOs are conducted on regulated exchange platforms, providing investors greater trust and security than Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), often linked to fraud and scams.

2. Access to Markets: IEOs provide startups with a direct channel to investors through the exchange platform, enabling them to access a large user base without establishing their investor network.

3. Simplified Procedures: IEOs streamline the participation process, allowing investors to use funds directly from their accounts on the exchange platform. This eliminates creating a separate digital wallet or navigating complex procedures.

4. Technical Support: Exchange platforms hosting IEOs typically offer technical support and assistance to investors and startups, reducing the risk of errors when purchasing cryptocurrencies.

5. Regulation: Since IEOs are hosted on regulated platforms, rules and procedures are established to prevent illegal activities and fraudulent behaviour and ensure compliance with national and international laws.

Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) provide a secure and convenient way for start-ups to raise funds through cryptocurrencies and for investors to participate in these projects. Thanks to blockchain technology, IEOs enable quick and transparent transactions.

Young Platform: from crypto exchange to payment account

young platform payment account

Download the new version of the app. In addition to the Crypto section, we are developing the Save and Cash sections that will change how you manage your finances! 

In recent years, Young Platform has emerged as one of the leading players in the European cryptocurrency industry. Founded in 2018 as an exchange, the platform has always aimed to make the world of cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. Today, Young Platform is taking a significant step in its evolution by transitioning from a simple exchange to a crypto-native payment account. This change marks the beginning of a new era for the platform and its users, who will have access to more comprehensive and integrated financial tools.

Download Young Platform app

The new interface

Young Platform’s new interface features three main sections: Crypto, Save, and Cash. This structure allows users to manage their finances in a more organised and intuitive manner:

  • Crypto: This is the platform’s core, focused on buying, selling, and managing digital assets. Users can easily trade cryptocurrencies and utilise advanced tools like Smart Trades and Staking to enhance their trading experience. 
  • Save (coming soon): This upcoming section will enable users to manage their savings, set financial goals, and create automatic accumulation plans.
  • Cash (coming soon): This section will be dedicated to cash management in euros and equipped with advanced payment tools. Users will be able to receive salaries, make transfers, and use the Young card for everyday expenses.

This transformation marks a significant evolution in the industry, bridging the gap between traditional finance and cryptocurrency.

A revolutionised user experience

The platform has been redesigned to provide a smoother, more intuitive user experience. The interface ensures simple and accessible navigation, even for less experienced users. Users will be able to customise their homepage by setting up widgets and specific preferences to monitor their portfolios, profits, losses, and market performance.

Additionally, Young Platform has introduced a notification system that keeps users updated on portfolio performance and new opportunities, as well as the release of new features. Don’t forget to activate these notifications from the profile section and the newsletters!

Access to financial education is also a key focus of the platform. With a dedicated section for guides and insights, Young Platform aims to equip users with the necessary skills to make informed financial decisions.

The Box competition: win the Young Card!

To celebrate this significant change, Young Platform is launching “The Box” competition and offering exclusive prizes to participants. One of the most coveted prizes is the Young Card, which provides cashback of up to 3.6 %* and real benefits on everyday purchases.

The competition rewards our most loyal users and encourages them to explore the platform’s new features and embrace the ongoing changes. Participating is simple: Follow the instructions on the platform to accumulate gems and stand a chance to win exclusive prizes, including Apple devices, Sony products, Amazon vouchers, and more!

Security and innovation 

With the transition to a crypto-native payment account, security has become a greater priority for Young Platform. The platform employs advanced protocols to safeguard users’ funds and data, and new authentication systems have been introduced to provide even more secure access.

Another significant innovation is obtaining a personal IBAN, enabling users to receive payments directly to their Young account. This feature enhances the platform’s versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of users, from experienced traders to those who simply want to manage their liquidity more effectively.

Towards the future: the integration of traditional assets

Young Platform’s evolution is ongoing. By the end of 2025, the platform intends to incorporate investments in traditional assets, providing an increasingly comprehensive experience. This shift will establish Young Platform as a leader not only in the cryptocurrency space but also in overall financial management.

Integrating ETFs and other traditional financial instruments will allow users to diversify their investments without switching between multiple platforms. The aim is to create a complete financial ecosystem in which every investor, regardless of experience level, can find the right tools to grow their capital.

This expansion is crucial to attracting a wider audience, particularly those who have previously viewed cryptocurrencies with scepticism. By bringing traditional assets into a native crypto platform, the aim is to break down the barriers between these two worlds and offer a practical solution for asset management.

The impact of regulation and Young Platform’s vision

Young Platform has recently achieved payment account status, enhancing its compliance with European regulations and providing users with a secure and regulated environment. By adhering to the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations and obtaining the necessary licenses, the platform is taking significant steps toward being recognised as a key player in the financial sector.

This regulation offers excellent consumer protection and enables Young Platform to operate in a more stable and transparent environment. Young Platform aims to set an example of compliance and transparency, distinguishing itself from many international platforms functioning in unregulated settings.

Another essential aspect of Young Platform is the decentralisation of financial management. Drawing from the principles of the blockchain ecosystem, the platform empowers users to maintain control over their funds and investment decisions.

A new way of experiencing digital finance

The future of digital finance goes beyond technology and involves the mindset with which people manage their capital. Young Platform is redefining wealth management by providing tools that enable anyone to invest with knowledge and security.

In a world where bureaucratic barriers and rigid institutions often hinder access to financial services, Young Platform presents an innovative and inclusive solution. It aims to create an ecosystem where blockchain technology can coexist with traditional financial tools, all while maintaining security, reliability, and accessibility.

Download the new version.

Young Platform is evolving from a sole exchange to a complete ecosystem integrating traditional and crypto finance into a single interface. With the introduction of the payment account and the restructured Crypto, Save, and Cash sections, users will gain access to more advanced and organized investment tools.

The ‘Box’ competition marks just the beginning of this new phase. Young Platform is committed to continuous innovation and aims to provide an increasingly competitive, cutting-edge solution. In this true financial hub, users can develop their wealth growth strategies by combining traditional and innovative approaches.

*Cashback depends on club membership and level: the higher the level, the higher the percentage. Platinum Club members get up to 3.6%.

What are Sub-Accounts and what are they for?

Does your company have a cryptocurrency portfolio or engage in trading? Subaccounts are the best way to manage different strategies or delegate activities.

Discover how to effectively manage your corporate cryptocurrency portfolio using Young Platform’s sub-accounts.

What are Sub-Accounts?

In a trading platform, a ‘Sub Account’ (SA) is a subordinate account to a primary account, known as a ‘Master Account‘ (MA). The MA can create multiple secondary and segregated accounts, each designated for a different purpose.

Subaccounts are typically used for various reasons, primarily to manage funds or assets separately. Here are some common scenarios where the Sub Account functionality can be beneficial:

  1. Management: Sub-accounts enable traders to allocate funds for different trading strategies or markets. For instance, a trader might have one SA dedicated to day trading and another for long-term investments.
  2. Monitoring: With sub-accounts, transactions executed in different strategies or portfolios can be monitored separately. This feature simplifies record-keeping and performance evaluation.
  3. Risk Management: Sub-accounts allow traders to set appropriate risk limits for various trading activities, helping to prevent excessive losses in a specific account.

In summary, Subaccounts provide greater flexibility and control in fund management. Now, let’s explore the advantages of using the Young Platform service.

Young Platform Pro Sub-Accounts

The functionality is available on demand and exclusively from the Pro version of Young Platform, making it very simple and intuitive. First, let’s see what it entails.

The Master Account has full powers to:

  • Depositing and withdrawing funds to and from any AS
  • Transfer funds between accounts (free of charge, no commission)
  • Viewing and managing HS orders
  • Checking HS balances
  • Displaying transactions executed by ASs
  • Enabling or disabling specific cryptocurrency pairs for individual ASs
  • Remove SA
  • Resetting HS passwords
  • Viewing the access history of ASs

In addition, Sub-Accounts can be classified as either ‘Managed’ or ‘External’. The ‘Managed’ mode is intended for the company’s legal representative who wants to utilise both a Managed Account (MA) and an Automated Strategy (AS). On the other hand, the ‘External’ mode is more suitable for teams. In the ‘External’ mode, the legal representative oversees the MA, while the AS can be assigned to team members or collaborators.

One significant advantage of Young Platform is the ability to combine this functionality with other services, such as the Only Euro Bot. This integration simplifies receiving cryptocurrencies in your account without hindering your ability to make recurring trades or purchases.

The Only Euro Bot facilitates handling crypto payments by automatically converting them into euros. However, this process can interfere with trading activities. Sub-Accounts quickly resolve the issue: you can activate the Bot on one account while using the other account to focus on your market strategy.

The Box: how do Quests work?

The Box: How Quests Work

Discover how to complete Missions, collect Gems, and climb the leaderboard to win exclusive prizes!

Managing your finances and building a balanced crypto portfolio doesn’t have to be tedious or complicated. In fact, we believe that learning how to manage your money can be both engaging and enjoyable. At Young Platform, we focus on games, quests, and challenges to innovatively introduce people to the world of crypto and personal finance. Of course, exciting prizes are part of the experience!

This philosophy led to the creation of The Box, a competition that signifies Young Platform’s transition from a simple crypto exchange to the first crypto-native payment account. Central to this evolution is the Quests, designed to reward users through an engaging gaming experience. These quests align perfectly with our mission: learn by playing.

What exactly are Quests, and why do they hold such significance? Let’s explore this together!

Quests: The Heart of The Box

Quests are challenges that each user can complete to accumulate Gems, and they are not all the same:

  • Some are completed only once, such as the first deposit or activating a feature in the app.
  • Others are repeatable, allowing you to continuously earn new Gems, e.g. by performing recurring operations.

How Gem Redemption Works

After completing a Quest, you must redeem it manually to obtain the corresponding Gems. If you forget to redeem a repeatable Quest, it will only be counted once, even if you complete it several times. 

Note: This rule does not apply to ‘Invite a Friend’ Quests, where each invitation is considered a separate Quest.

What are gems for

The Gems you obtain serve two purposes:

  1. Climbing the Gem Leaderboard, which rewards the most active users with guaranteed prizes.
  2. Unlock Tickets, which allow you to participate in the random prize draw.

Important: there is a limit to the number of Tickets you can obtain through Quests, but Gems do not have a limit and can be accumulated to improve your Leaderboard.

Join The Box now

The Quests categories 

The Quests in The Box are divided into four broad categories: Bazaar, Loyalty, Toolbox and Crew.

  • Bazaar: This section features Quests, which is aimed at helping you develop a substantial and diversified cryptocurrency portfolio. Here, you can complete challenges to reduce risk, create a long-term savings plan, understand the role of the Young token within the ecosystem, and explore various methods for depositing on the Young Platform. Additionally, you can experiment with different types of buy and sell orders directly on the platform.
  • Loyalty: In this category, you will find quests related to Young Platform’s loyalty programs. If you choose to become a HODLER of the Young token, you will gain access to exclusive clubs that offer various benefits. These include discounts on trading quests, additional strategies that can be activated on Smart Trade, increased staking options, discounted tax reports, free market reports, and VIP support. Furthermore, you will also receive benefits from external services such as WeRoad, HelloFresh, NordVPN, Builtdifferent, Tickets, and many more.
  • Toolbox: Here are some tasks related to account security and customising your Young Platform experience. For example, you can add widgets to your homepage to monitor your portfolio in real-time. This category also includes all quests dedicated to staking, which allows you to earn annual rewards on funds locked on the blockchain.
  • Crew: This category focuses more on the community aspect. Along with inviting friends and family to use Young Platform, you can continue playing on Zealy. The Box expands through games on Zealy, an entertainment platform where you can earn XP points for extra gems. You can earn XP points by interacting with our social content and sharing Young Platform updates!

Gem Leaderboard: How does it work?

The Gem Leaderboard is the system that identifies the top 5 winners of the main prizes in The Box, along with the 200 deserving Young Card winners. Each user has a dedicated section within the Young Platform app where they can check the following:

  • Number of Gems accumulated: This increases with each Quest redeemed and is used to climb the Leaderboards and unlock Tickets.
  • Number of unlocked Tickets: This indicates how many tickets you have obtained, which can be used to enter the random prize draw.
  • Leaderboard position: This is updated in real-time based on the accumulated Gems. The final Leaderboard will be made official after the new identity verification process.
  • Available Quests: This includes the number of Gems that can be earned and the history of challenges already completed.

Only users who complete the new Identity Verification Process (KYC), necessary for enabling the payment account, will be eligible to receive rewards from the Leaderboard and lottery rewards..

What prizes can you win with the Gem Leaderboard?

Prizes for the top 5 finishers:

  1. MacBook Pro 
  2. iPhone 16 Pro 
  3. iPhone 16 
  4. AirPods Max 
  5. Amazon Voucher (€250.00)

Prize for the first 200 finishers:

  • Young Card is associated with the Young Platform payment account.

Quests, Gems and Tickets: A Dual Reward System

The Box offers two ways to win:

  1. Gem Leaderboard → Rewards the 200 most active users.
  2. Ticket drawing → Randomly rewarding those who have accumulated tickets, regardless of the Leaderboard.

If you don’t make it to the top of the leaderboard, you still have the chance to win thanks to the Tickets you get by completing Quests.

You just have to get started: log in to the app, complete the Quests, collect Gems and climb the leaderboard to win prizes from The Box!

The Box: how do tickets work?

The Box: How Tickets Work

Exciting news: there will be a final lottery for everyone! Let’s look at what tickets are and how they function.

The Box marks a significant development within the Young Platform ecosystem and introduces an exciting new feature: the final lottery. This lottery offers a splash of luck and randomness, making it ideal for those new to cryptocurrencies or those who have yet to climb the ranks.

Tickets represent the final opportunity in a critical game: the more tickets you hold, the greater your chances of a favourable outcome. But how exactly do they work? Let’s explore together.

What are Tickets, and why are they important for The Box?

Tickets are your entry pass to participate in the final draw of The Box. The more tickets you have, the greater your chances of being selected and winning a prize.

Each ticket has a unique code; if your code is drawn, you will win the corresponding prize! 

The Box was designed with a dual reward system that balances effort and luck:

1. The Leaderboard and Gems rewards the most active users who complete quests and accumulate Gems. The top 200 users on the leaderboard win guaranteed prizes.

2. The Draw and the Tickets: This mechanism uses randomness to give everyone a chance to win, regardless of their ranking.

Thanks to this system, even those with limited resources can have the opportunity to take home a prize!

How are tickets obtained?

You can accumulate a maximum of 26 tickets through two methods:

  • Accumulating Gems: Every time you reach a certain threshold, you automatically unlock a Ticket.
  • By completing special Quests, some dedicated quests allow you to obtain Tickets directly without accumulating Gems first.

The Ticket Prizes

Participating in the final draw means a chance to win fantastic prizes. Here’s what you can win by simply accumulating tickets and letting luck take its course:

  • 3 MacBook Air
  • 5 iPhone 16
  • 5 AirPods Max
  • 5 PlayStation 5 Pro
  • 40 flight vouchers from €150
  • 120 Amazon vouchers for € 50
  • 300 Young Cards

How does the extraction work?

After the competition concludes, all tickets will be entered into a random prize draw. Each ticket has a unique code submitted to an automated draw system in the presence of a notary. If the code associated with one of your tickets is drawn, you will win the corresponding prize!

The draw begins with the most valuable prizes and continues until all prizes are awarded. Naturally, by purchasing more tickets—each of which has an equal chance of being drawn—you increase your chances of winning additional prizes. Therefore, the more tickets you hold, the better your odds of winning and the more prizes you can receive.

To receive any prizes won in the draw, you must complete the new identity verification process (KYC) on the Young Platform app. Only verified users will be eligible to receive the awarded prizes.

Where do you see your Tickets?

In the Box section of the Young Platform app, you will find: 

  • the number of Gems accumulated
  • the number of unlocked tickets 
  • your ranking
  • quests available and completed.
