How To
Everything you need to know about wikey.cc.
Welcome to wikey.cc — the Intermedial Messaging Service where your ideas, offers and requests ripen into real value. This guide explains every tool step-by-step, from your first spread all the way to successful trades on the marketplace.
🌱 Create your first spread
A Spread is your multimedia message to the world — a tiny landing page for your idea.
- Click + New Spread in the top bar.
- Choose a strong title and write an inspiring description.
- Upload images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP — max 16 MB).
- Optionally link a YouTube video, an audio file, or any external URL.
- Save — done. Your spread instantly gets its own page and a short URL like
/s/xy23ab/your-title.
💡 Tip: The clearer your spread, the more scans and EVE you'll earn. Keep titles short and descriptions punchy.
⚡ EVE & how to earn
EVE is the digital energy of your wikey account — an in-app reward you earn through real community engagement. EVE has no monetary value and is not tradable outside wikey, but it becomes the currency of the marketplace.
| 👁 Scan of your spread | +10 EVE |
| 👍 Vote for your spread | +5 EVE |
| 💬 Write a comment | +3 EVE |
| 🔁 Share a spread | +2 EVE |
| ❤ Receive a like | +1 EVE |
| 🎁 Welcome bonus | +20 EVE |
You see every single transaction in your wallet — transparent and live.
📡 Flyers & QR codes
Every spread automatically generates a QR code (PNG) and a flyer in two print-ready sizes:
- A5 flyer — perfect for posting in cafés, coworking spaces or shop windows.
- A6 flyer — postcard-size, ideal for handouts.
Both flyers carry the wikey neon aesthetic with the Dot mascot, are fully vector-based and ready to print. Visit QR & Flyer for a bulk overview of all your spreads.
💡 Strategy: Post flyers where your audience already lives — each scan = +10 EVE for you.
🔗 Hardware & distribution
wikey stands for bundle of interests — many small messages you can bundle into one bouquet. A spread doesn't have to be printed on paper: you can bring it into the real world in many ways.
🖼️ E-ink tag (Waveshare)
Show the QR on a low-power e-ink display instead of paper — and update it from your phone over NFC whenever you like. One tag, any number of spreads.
💍 NFC / RFID ring
Put your spread on an NFC ring — no display needed. With a tap of a finger, others load your spread and see where you are.
⭕ Round 2-inch stickers
Download the new round 51 mm sticker from any spread page — perfect as a two-colour thermal round sticker. Optionally stick an NFC chip behind it.
📎 Punch & bundle
Print, cut out, punch and bundle several spreads on one ring — plus a display, plus a ring = your personal wikey (bundle of interests).
💡 Tip: Every offline path (sticker, tag, ring) leads to the same QR — each scan earns the spread owner EVE.
🛒 Using the marketplace
The marketplace is a true peer-to-peer barter economy — members list items or services, others buy them with their EVE.
📡 Offers vs 🔎 Wanted
- Offers — you have something to give (item, service, digital).
- Wanted — you're looking for something and ready to spend EVE.
🗺 Location & map
When creating a listing, you can optionally drop a location pin on the map. Other users see the distance and can sort by "Near me" with the location button.
⏳ Expiry
Pick 3, 7, 14, 30 days or unlimited. Expired listings move to the archive automatically — you can reactivate them at any time.
💬 Negotiate
Every listing has a negotiation chat with a counter-offer field. Polite, transparent, direct — just like a great market stall.
⭐ Reviews
After a successful purchase, the buyer leaves a 1-5 star review. Your reputation grows visibly — and great reviews unlock trader badges like 5-Star Trader and Reliable Seller.
🏅 Badges & progress
You earn badges automatically as you engage — from First Spread through EVE Whale to Market Mogul. 16 in total are waiting for you.
Your profile shows each badge with a progress bar — so you always know how close the next one is.

Got an idea you don't want to build yourself? Submit it on Spread Requests. Others vote and support — the best ones surface on the home page and the admin can approve or push them "into production".
🏆 Leaderboard & competition
The leaderboard shows who is on top in each domain — EVE leader, spread champion, top voter, sharer, trader. Friendly, frictionless competition with a wink from Dot.
