# Blockchain Loyalty Programs 'Fnatic' Launched a Blockchain-Based Membership System By Colin Smith | Published 2022-03-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fnatic-pioneer References: [esportsinsider](https://esportsinsider.com/2022/03/fnatic-fan-membership-programme-blockchain/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fnatic-fan-membership-programme-blockchain) & [fnatic](https://fnatic.com/membership)  'Fnatic,' the esports organization based in London, has launched a loyalty program with three tiers, including the premium '[Fnatic Pioneer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guild-of-guardians)' tier. The Fnatic Pioneer tier costs users $600 USD to join, and comes with a wide array of perks such as discounts on the Fnatic store, gift boxes, and exclusive experiences. The other tiers are '[Fnatic Citizen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fnatic-3),' which is free to join, and 'Fnatic Core,' which costs $250 USD. These tiers will be purchasable through NFT keys that are built on the [Polygon Blockchain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/morchi). Fnatic partnered up with 'Crypto.com' to launch this program, as the two companies entered into an officials partnership last year. The Polygon Blockchain uses a proof-of-stake system rather than the proof-of-work system that some larger Blockchains use. As a result of this, the Polygon Blockchain touts a higher sustainability rating than many of its competitors.
