ABSTRACT
Gratuity (tips) plays a valuable role in the service sector. Tips exist in many countries more and more in a digital format. But digital tips lack transparency: givers have no proof of delivery, and recipients have no proof of assessing all the transactions and the amount’s immutability. A tips service provider is a single point of failure and should be trusted to keep the system working. Blockchain allows running a system in a trustless environment and can be a clue to the reliable decentralized digital gratuity. In the paper, we analyze a technology and business potential of a blockchain-based tips service and propose a full-stack prototype.
