List View

The default Home tab shows a sorted list of nearby stations. Each station card shows:

• Station name and brand logo
• Distance from your location
• Latest reported price for your selected fuel type
• Time since the last price report
• A freshness indicator (green = recent, amber = older)

Map View

Switch to the Map tab for a visual overview. Stations appear as pins color-coded by how recently their price was updated. Tap a pin to see the station's price summary and a link to get directions.

Filters & Fuel Types

Reading Prices

Understand how prices are sourced, validated, and what the freshness indicators mean.

How Prices Are Sourced

All prices in GetGas come from community reports submitted by users physically at a gas station. When a report is submitted:

1. It enters a pending state
2. The community votes on its accuracy (approve or flag)
3. Once approved, it becomes the current price for that station and fuel type

Price Freshness

Scanning Price Boards

Use your camera to scan a station's price board and submit a report in seconds.

How to Scan

Tips for Better Scans

• Scan in good lighting — avoid shooting directly into the sun
• Keep your phone steady and avoid motion blur
• Make sure the full price board is in frame
• If OCR misreads a price, you can manually correct it before submitting

Saved Favorites

Bookmark your most-visited stations for quick access and price drop alerts.

Adding a Favorite

Tap the heart icon on any station card or detail page to save it. Your saved stations appear at the top of the Home list and in Account → Saved Stations.

Price Drop Alerts

When a new approved price report drops the price at a saved station, GetGas sends you a notification so you know when to fill up.

What are GP Points?

GP (GasPower) Points are GetGas's reward currency. Earn them by contributing to the community — the more you help, the higher your rank.

Why GP Points Exist

Accurate, up-to-date fuel prices require active contributors. GP Points incentivize users to submit reports, complete daily missions, and stay engaged — which keeps the data fresh for everyone.

Points accumulate over your lifetime on the platform and determine your badge rank and reputation score.

Point Overview

Earning GP

GP can be earned through price reports, completing missions, maintaining streaks, and referring friends.

From Price Reports

Every approved price report contributes to your lifetime report count, which unlocks milestone GP bonuses. The more reports you submit and get approved, the more GP you accumulate.

Daily GP

Your Today stat on the GP tab tracks how many points you've earned today. This resets at midnight and motivates daily contribution habits.

Task Missions

One-time tasks (like choosing an avatar, setting your name, or making your first report) award GP on completion. See Daily Missions for the full list.

Daily Missions

Missions are goal-based challenges that reward GP on completion. They range from easy onboarding tasks to advanced reporting milestones.

Mission Categories

Streaks

A streak tracks how many consecutive days you've opened GetGas. Reaching a 3-day streak awards +40 GP and keeps you in the habit of checking prices daily.

Badges & Levels

Your total GP determines your badge rank. Badges are permanent — you never lose a badge you've earned.

Badge Tiers

Progress toward your next badge is shown on the GP tab with an animated progress bar.

Referral Rewards

Share your unique referral link and earn 25 GP for every friend who joins and activates their account.

How It Works

1. Go to Account → Share GetGas or the referral section in the GP tab
2. Copy your unique referral link or share directly via WhatsApp, Messenger, etc.
3. When a friend opens GetGas through your link, a pending referral is created
4. Once they complete their first action (first report or mission), the referral activates
5. You receive +25 GP per activated referral, claimable from the GP tab

Platform Overview

GetGas is a real-time fuel price product built for people who need fast, practical answers at the point of decision.

Product Mission

The mission of GetGas is to make fuel pricing more transparent and more usable in real time. In product terms, that means translating scattered market data, brand data, and local observations into a live map of actionable pricing.

GetGas should remain utility-first. Users should open the app because it saves them time and money. Reward mechanics are important, but they should support the product habit rather than replace it.

Core Product Pillars

Community Contribution Loop

The ideal loop is simple: the user opens GetGas for personal utility, notices a stale or missing price, submits or confirms an update in seconds, and improves the experience for the next driver. Rewards should reinforce that loop rather than create behavior that exists only to farm points.

What is GTX?

GTX is the proposed ecosystem token of GetGas — the ownership, coordination, and incentive layer built on top of the GP contribution system.

GTX's Role

If GP is the measurement layer, GTX is the ownership layer. GTX should represent durable network advantage, not just a payout mechanism.

What GTX Represents

Holding GTX should matter because it improves a user's future position in the ecosystem through:

• Staking effects — Stake GTX to improve your GP earning power multiplier
• Competitive roles — Stake to compete for Station Captain roles in your area
• Governance rights — Vote on reward parameters, market expansion, and product changes
• Long-term upside — Future revenue-linked rights as the network grows

GP → GTX Relationship

GP measures contribution. GTX translates that contribution into ecosystem ownership. The two layers are intentionally separate.

Why the Separation Matters

GP allows GetGas to measure effort continuously while keeping actual token emission tightly controlled. Without this separation, every action becomes a direct source of token sell pressure.

Epoch-Based Distribution

The recommended structure is epoch-based. Users earn GP during a week or month through approved reports, verifications, check-ins, streaks, and other validated actions. At the end of the epoch, GP determines a user's relative share of the GTX pool for that period.

User GTX share = (User Eligible GP ÷ Total Eligible GP) × Epoch GTX Pool

GP Design Principles

GP Earning Rules

• Most GP should be awarded on approved or consensus-confirmed actions
• Raw submission GP should be small so spam is not profitable
• Diminishing returns slow down farming after a healthy daily zone
• Lifetime GP and epoch GP are tracked separately
• Quality and reputation influence earning efficiency

Sustainability Model

How GetGas keeps the GTX economy healthy long-term through controlled emission, vesting, and demand-side utility.

Controlled Emission

GTX is distributed from a fixed epoch pool rather than through open-ended emissions. This allows app activity to grow while token output remains policy-controlled.

Vesting & Claim Throttling

A large share of earned GTX should vest rather than arrive liquid at once. A starting structure of 70% locked / 30% claimable is one practical point. Additional claim-rate throttles can smooth market pressure further.

Eligibility Caps

Per-user eligible GP caps and epoch pool caps are essential. These ensure the contribution economy cannot be dominated by one account, one farm, or one whale.

Reward Flywheel

Users contribute fresh prices → data quality improves → the app becomes more useful → more users rely on GetGas → more usage creates more contribution opportunities → GP measures that activity → a fixed GTX pool translates part of that network effort into strategic token participation.

Risk & Guardrails

Reporting Prices

Price reports are the backbone of GetGas. Learn what makes a good report and how to submit one correctly.

What to Report

Report the current pump price displayed on the station's price board. Include all fuel types visible — the more complete your report, the more useful it is to other drivers.

Accuracy Guidelines

• Only report prices at stations you are physically present at
• Report prices exactly as shown — don't round or estimate
• If you're unsure about a price, leave that fuel type blank rather than guessing
• Do not submit reports for stations you drove past at speed

Approval System

GetGas uses community validation to ensure only accurate prices are published.

How Approval Works

When you submit a price report, it enters a pending state. Other users can then vote:

• Approve — The price looks correct
• Flag — The price seems wrong or suspicious

Once a report reaches sufficient approvals, it becomes the live price for that station and fuel type. Reports with too many flags are rejected.

Your Report Status

View submitted reports in Account → My Reports. You'll be notified when a report is approved or rejected.

Reputation

Your reputation score reflects how trusted your reports are.

How It's Calculated

Reputation starts at 10 and increases by 4 points for each approved price report. It is capped at 100. Rejected reports do not reduce your reputation but do not increase it either.

Privacy & Data

GetGas collects only what it needs to function. Here's what's stored and how it's used.

Location Data

GetGas requests your location only while the app is open. Used to sort nearby stations by distance and verify you're near a station when submitting a report. Your location is never stored permanently or shared with third parties.

Account Data

Your account stores: email address, display name, avatar choice, total GP Points, completed missions, and your submitted price reports. This data can be deleted by contacting support.

Camera Access

Camera access is only requested when you tap the Scan button. Photos taken for scanning are processed to extract price data and are not retained after submission.

Does GetGas work outside the Philippines?

GetGas covers the Philippines and United States. Station coverage in other regions may be limited.

How accurate are the prices?

Accuracy depends on how recently a price was reported. Fresh reports (under 6 hours) are generally reliable. Always check the report timestamp and use the freshness indicator as a guide.

Can I use GetGas without an account?

You can browse stations and prices without signing in. However, submitting reports, earning GP Points, and saving favorites require a free account.

Why was my report rejected?

Reports are rejected when the community flags them as inaccurate. Common reasons: mistyped price, wrong fuel type selected, or the price has already changed at that station.

How do I delete my account?

To delete your account and all associated data, contact support through the Account tab. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

How do I earn GP faster?

Focus on completing missions first (especially easy ones), then maintain a daily streak. Referring friends and submitting regular approved reports will accelerate your progress significantly.

What happens to my GP if I delete my account?

GP Points are tied to your account. Deleting your account permanently removes all accumulated GP with no recovery option.
