How it works
The Trops mobile application enables community experiences. Individualists can use the app as a navigation tool to discover and support local culture. Art Drops can be visual or performing artworks. Explore local neighborhoods to collect art experiences and drop tokens around the city. Drop Tokens can be exchanged for rewards in the form of Local Gems.
Treasure Hunt for Art
On arrival, your profile saves the art memory for future reference, so you can leave your phone alone and participate in the experience.
Curated Culture Maps
Art Drops are carefully curated to present art as an experience. You can explore all the art drops around you, or visit a curated mapped exhibition.
Support Community
The drop tokens earned from visiting art drops can be exchanged for local products, artisanal goods, tickets, and more ("Local gems").
