Service Exchange 101: Earn Loops for Every Activity

Loops: The Reward for Being Active

On LoopHood, you don't "charge" Loops for your time. Instead, **every positive activity earns you Loops** automatically from the platform. It's our way of thanking you for building the community.

5 Ways to Earn Loops

Whether you're helping a neighbor or just decluttering, you're earning. Here is how:

• Exchange Services: Help a neighbor move, walk a dog, or fix a faucet.
• Trade Products: Swap items you don't need for things you do.
• Rent Something: Borrow a ladder or lend out your camping gear.
• Review Transactions: Leave honest feedback after every exchange.
• Participate in Challenges: Join community events and special missions.

How Service Exchange Works

Since you aren't trading skills *for* Loops directly, how does a service swap work?

1. Agree on the Exchange

You find a neighbor who needs help assembling furniture. You agree to help. Maybe they pay you in cash, maybe they bake you cookies, or maybe you do it for free. That's up to you.

2. Complete & Verify

Once the job is done, you mark the transaction as "Complete" in the app.

3. Get Rewarded

Both you and your neighbor leave a review. **Boom!** You both earn Loops for completing the transaction and for leaving the review. Your Loop Score goes up, unlocking new perks.

Why It Matters

Your Loop Score is your reputation. A high score shows you are an active, trusted, and generous neighbor. It helps you get verified, effectively getting you "front of the line" privileges when you need something yourself.
