A small ritual,
in four steps.
The mechanics are simple. The intention is what matters: turning a private feeling of gratitude into a tangible, shareable gesture.
- 01
Subscribe to a Joie
For each Joie you wish to issue, you contribute one euro to our reserve fund. The fund is permanent — your contribution stays there and quietly funds the system.
- 02
Issue a Joie in someone's name
You choose an effigy — the face of a person you wish to honor: a loved one passed away, a public figure, a quiet hero. The Joie carries their name into the world.
- 03
Give it, with a few words
You send the Joie to another person — a friend, a colleague, a stranger you wish to thank — together with a short message. It enters their porteJoie.
- 04
Receive, accept, pass it along
The recipient sees the Joie waiting for them. They can keep it, or send it onward to someone they wish to recognize in turn. The chain continues.
A small object with a big idea.
A Joie is a virtual medal: a token in someone's likeness, identified by a unique number, sealed with a personal message. It lives in your porteJoie — your personal wallet — until you decide to send it onward.
It cannot be sold. It cannot be traded for goods. Its only purpose is to be given — to recognize, to thank, to remember.
Less reward, more recognition.
Most digital tokens reward behaviour or measure performance. Joies do neither. They mark a moment of gratitude — quietly, deliberately, and outside any commercial system. The funds collected stay reserved; no one profits from the gesture.
It is not a market. It is a ritual.
