What The Green is

The Green is a game, one of the apps of the YLC suite published by YLC NETWORK FZC. Your YLC account gives access to its three doors — Play, Walk and Post — each with its own daily way of earning: play the arcade game of the day, let your steps count, or post an image of your own. Earning gives greens, an in-game unit that can be used to fund environmental projects listed in the app. Posting is open to YLC Pass holders; playing and walking are open to everyone.

Joining is on invitation: an account is created with the code of a member, and never otherwise.

The account is one, and so is the wallet. Greens, XP, streak, projects and tickets belong to the account, not to a door. A day is worth up to twenty greens in total, whichever doors are played: the three are three ways to fill one day, not three allowances.

Beyond the daily games, the service offers three games of chance — a scratch card, a lottery and a slot machine — limited to one free play each per day, with no way to wager or to pay for another; and duels, in which two players stake greens on the same board and the winner takes both stakes. A duel moves greens between accounts and never creates any.

Playing is free. Greens cannot be bought, sold, transferred outside the service, or exchanged for money, and they have no monetary value. Nothing in The Green is a purchase or an investment, and nothing staked in a duel was ever acquired against payment.

Your YLC account

Signing in requires an email address. There is no password: a six-digit code is sent to the address you give, and entering it signs you in. Keeping access to that mailbox is what keeps your account yours.

You may choose a display name, a username and a short bio. A username is a public address: anyone can reach /u/your-username. A profile set to private is not listed and its page returns a not-found response.

One account per person. Accounts created to play the same day more than once may be suspended.

YLC and its apps

YLC is the suite of apps published by YLC NETWORK FZC: The Green — Play, Walk and Post — and Straby (straby.app), which makes pages for ambassadors. Other apps may join the suite later.

Your YLC account is your account in every app of the suite. They offer “Continue with YLC”: you sign in on YLC, at compte.ylcnetwork.com, with your email address and a six-digit code, and the app you came from receives what the privacy policy lists — nothing more.

The YLC Pass is the suite's pass. Whatever its tier, an active pass unlocks the apps of the suite — for Straby, Straby Complete — for as long as it stays active. It is paid for only at YLC, on the website compte.ylcnetwork.com or in The Green app: no other app of the suite has a checkout or takes any payment.

Each app of the suite has its own terms for what is done in it. These terms govern your YLC account, the YLC Pass and its payment; Straby's terms govern the pages and cards you make there.

Fair play

The day is the same for everyone, and the point of the game is that it is played by the same means by everyone. Using a program, a model, or another person to play for you is not forbidden by any technical measure — it cannot be — but it is outside the spirit of the game, and the leaderboard is ordered by streak precisely so that showing up matters more than playing fast.

Every move is recorded on the server, with the time it was made. This is used to understand how the game is played and, if needed, to look into an account. It is an indication and never a proof: a fast, strong player looks like an assisted one. No account is ever suspended automatically.

Steps are never typed. They are read from your device maker's servers, or from the health store on your phone, and no figure sent by a browser is ever accepted as a step. The phone app proves it is itself with an attestation issued by Apple or Google; a request that cannot prove it does not count a day.

Greens, projects and the draw

Greens are earned by playing — a daily game, a free play of one of the three games of chance, a post, or a duel won against another player — and never any other way. The server replays every game from the moves it recorded; a score sent by a browser is never read, because there is no field for one.

Greens can fund a project from the list in the app. Funding records an impact and issues one draw ticket, up to five tickets per calendar month for everyone, across every door on one account. Money never buys one more, and no purchase of any kind increases anybody's chances.

Funding triggers a real purchase with the partner network, made on your behalf, and the certificate page carries the record of it. If the call to the partner fails, the ticket and the impact are still yours and the request is retried later: your entry does not depend on a third party being available.

The YLC Pass, the subscription

The YLC Pass is optional and comes in tiers, from Pass 12 to Pass 96; the tier decides the price and what it gives, and both are shown on the YLC Pass screen before you take it. How it is paid depends on where you take it. On the website, compte.ylcnetwork.com, you pay in advance, in USDC from your wallet, for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months, and nothing renews by itself: when the period ends, the pass stops until you pay again. In The Green phone app it is a monthly subscription taken through the App Store or Google Play, renewed automatically until you cancel, and shown on the store's page when you subscribe.

A tier gives, every month, as many of each of the following as the number in its name — Pass N gives N: boost codes (activation codes) for The Green, posts you may publish, bottles of plastic collected from the ocean, and AI credits in Straby. It also gives a multiplier on the greens a day earns in The Green. The multiplier depends on the tier and is written next to it. Every tier also unlocks the apps of the suite, as described above.

What the YLC Pass never gives is one more draw ticket. Five a month is five a month, subscriber or not, and no subscription improves anybody's odds. Faster, never further.

A period paid in advance on the website has nothing to cancel: it simply ends. A subscription taken in the phone app is cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account settings; cancelling stops the next renewal and leaves the month already paid running to its end. A card subscription taken on the website before 25 September 2026 carries on until you cancel it from the billing portal on the YLC Pass screen.

The subscription is digital and carries a fourteen-day right of withdrawal. Asking for your codes straight away is asking for the service to start, so a month already begun is not refunded once a code has been lit — the rest of the right is not shortened, and you may cancel at any time.

Suspension and ending

An account may be suspended for creating multiple accounts, for abuse, or for attempting to obtain greens by means other than playing. A suspended account is told so, and told why.

You may stop using YLC and its apps at any time, and you delete your YLC account yourself from Profile and settings. If you have won a draw, the account is anonymised rather than deleted — a draw already held has to remain verifiable. The privacy policy says exactly what is erased.

Changes

These terms may change. Substantive changes will be announced in the app before they take effect.
