Rewards and demo honesty
TypVault backs two platform-wide promises: you can receive a cash reward without giving your name, and a demonstration deployment always tells you it is a demonstration.
Rewards are paid anonymously
Section titled “Rewards are paid anonymously”If your tip leads to an arrest, you may earn a cash reward. You receive it anonymously: give your tip code to the teller and receive an envelope, or get a prepaid card. No name or ID is ever required.
This is built into the data itself, not just written into policy. The reward record links to your tip and a reward reference, and nothing more. It has no field for a name, an email address, a phone number, or a postal address. The platform has nowhere to record who received a reward.
Your program decides the reward amount and the exact payout steps. When a reward is ready, your program tells you how to receive it.
Demonstrations announce themselves
Section titled “Demonstrations announce themselves”A demonstration deployment of TypVault is not a live tip program, and it says so. Every page in a demo shows a clear notice asking you not to submit a real tip there.
The safe behavior is the default. A deployment behaves as a demonstration unless it is explicitly switched to live operation. A misconfigured deployment shows the demo notice instead of accepting real tips as if it were live.
Demo activity is also marked at the record level. Every audit record written in demo mode carries a permanent demo mark, stamped row by row, so demo activity stays separate from real tip records.
The honest limits
Section titled “The honest limits”A reward that is “authorized” is a decision to pay, not the payment itself. Your program has committed to the reward, but the money has not moved yet. The payment happens at the later steps, when the reward is issued and redeemed.
Payout details belong to your program. Whether you receive an envelope or a prepaid card, and where and when, are the program’s decisions. This page describes the platform pattern; your program gives you the specifics.
The demo notice is a warning, not a barrier. It cannot stop someone from typing something real into a demonstration. If you have a real tip, use your program’s live submission page.
