Crypto revenue we offer customers the ability to purchase or
sell certain crypto on our platform. We collect a fee on each
transaction in the form of a spread on the market price of the
crypto. We are the principal these customer contracts as we
control the crypto prior to its delivery to the customer and are
responsible for the delivery of the crypto to the customer. In
accordance with GAAP, as a principal in a contract we record
revenue for these transactions on a gross basis. Costs
associated with these expenses are included in operating
expenses as "Clearing, Execution and Brokerage Fees."
Loyalty revenue we host, operate and maintain a loyalty
redemption platform connecting loyalty programs to ecommerce
merchants. Our contracts related to our loyalty redemption
platform consist of two performance obligations: (1) access to
our SaaS-based redemption platform and customer support
services and (2) facilitation of order fulfillment services. We are a
principal related to providing access to our redemption platform
and recognize revenue related to these transactions on a gross
basis. We are the agent in facilitating order fulfillment services on
behalf of loyalty program sponsors and recognize revenue
related to these transactions on a net basis.
