Spottr turns a photo of something with a brand on it into that company's Stock Token, which you can then own from your own wallet, and says plainly when there isn't one. The loop is open camera, spot, recognise, verify, match token, earn, portfolio. The first five steps run today. The last two are not built, and this page says exactly where the line falls.
What happens when you take a photo
| 1. Look | The photo is sent to the recogniser. It is not stored by Spottr. |
| 2. Name | It returns the brands it can actually see: a logo, readable brand text, or an unmistakable product shape. |
| 3. Company | A brand only counts if it is in Spottr's hand-checked registry, which maps it to one parent company and that company's ISIN, the official ID of its shares. |
| 4. Market | That ISIN is matched against Robinhood's list of Stock Tokens. The token's contract is read on the chain before any market is shown. |
How sure Spottr is
One vision recogniser reads the photo: Gemini, which reads logos, readable brand text and unmistakable product shapes. Its own confidence is never shown, because a model's self-reported certainty is not calibrated and a percentage would be invented. What decides the outcome is the reviewed registry.
Checking what is switched on…
| MATCHED | The brand it named is in the reviewed registry, so it maps to one company and that company's ISIN. |
| NO MATCH | Nothing was recognised, the brand is not one we have reviewed, or the recogniser could not run. |
Spottr goes straight to the market it reads, and shows which brand it read so you can correct it.
Why some tokens say "not reachable by camera yet"
Every listed Stock Token is a real market, but a photo can only lead to companies in the registry. Each entry is checked by hand, because guessing a brand's owner sends people to the wrong company. Some real traps:
- Tylenol and Band-Aid belong to Kenvue, not Johnson & Johnson.
- GE fridges are made by Haier. The GE token is GE Aerospace.
- HP printers are HP Inc., which has no Stock Token. HPE is a different company.
Companies that make industrial parts nobody photographs will keep that label.
Earning from a photo
This is not built. Nothing pays out today, and no part of Spottr holds a balance for you. The intention is that a verified photo sends you a small amount of the matched company's Stock Token, to your own wallet, with Spottr never taking custody. None of the pieces that would make that real exist yet:
- No treasury funds the rewards, and no rate per photo has been set.
- Nothing stops the same object being photographed over and over, so there is no anti-abuse to speak of.
- Two of the steps that would have to be settled, who may earn and where, are open questions rather than decisions.
Until those exist, a photo ends at the match: the company, its ISIN, the token and its live reference quote. Anywhere the site mentions earning, it is describing an intention, not a feature.
What a Stock Token is
A Stock Token is issued by a third party on Robinhood Chain and tracks the price of a company's shares. It is not a share in that company. It carries no shareholder rights, and the issuer, not the company, stands behind it. Spottr shows the reference bid and ask published by the issuer, the time they were quoted, and the token's contract address, which you can open on the chain explorer.
Stock Tokens are issued by a third party, not by Spottr and not by the company named. They are not shares: holding one gives economic exposure to a share price, not ownership, and carries issuer credit risk. They may not be offered, sold or delivered to US persons, or to people in Canada, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, and are unavailable in sanctioned countries. Spottr is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Robinhood or any company or brand named here. Prices are indicative and nothing here is advice or an offer.
What Spottr does not do
- It does not pay you for a photo. Earning is not built.
- It does not hold your money or your tokens, and has no account to sign up for.
- It does not invent a market. If nothing matches, it says so.
- It does not claim a company from a brand it has not checked.
- Nothing here is advice, an offer, or a recommendation to buy anything.
Your photos
Photos are sent to Google, to be read by Gemini, under Google's terms, which allow Google to use the content to improve its products. Spottr keeps no copy of the photo. Your scan history is stored only in your own browser, and clearing your browser data erases it.
The recogniser runs on a free allowance, so at busy moments a scan can be refused for a minute, and Google's own capacity can be unavailable for longer. Spottr says when that happens instead of pretending it saw nothing.
The Android app
The app is this site in a native shell, so the camera and photo picker work as they do in any app. It updates itself whenever the site changes, because it always shows the live site.
The Android build is being rebranded and is not offered for download yet. It will return here once it points at Spottr's own domain.
