Common Questions
Is this an investment?
No. SFT is spendable local money pegged 1:1 to the dollar and paired 1:1 with RLUSD. You spend it — you do not bet on it.
Can I lose money?
Only the free $10 gift if you never use it. There is nothing to invest and no risk beyond ordinary cash handling.
How do I turn it back into dollars?
Visit a Federation Exchange Steward. They swap SFT back to cash or a prepaid card on the spot. You are never locked in.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all. If you can scan a QR code to pay at a store, you can use this. A Steward helps you the first time — for free.
Why does my town care?
Every card payment sends a processing fee out of town. Local money keeps those dollars circulating in your community instead.
