AUDITABLE
POINTS.
HCS-20 is the standard for high-volume, low-cost, auditable points on Hedera. Perfect for loyalty programs, gaming leaderboards, and community rewards without the complexity of HTS.
Why HCS-20?
Token services are powerful but can be overkill for non-financial points. HCS-20 strips away the complexity of liquidity pools and regulatory gray areas, offering a pure, transparent ledger for points.
It's just JSON on a topic. Simple, fast, and completely auditable by anyone with a mirror node connection.
Public Auditability
Every mint, burn, and transfer is recorded in the consensus stream. Anyone can verify the total supply and holder balances.
No Liquidity Issues
Since they aren't native tokens, there's no expectation of liquidity pools or exchange listings. Ideal for closed-loop loyalty.
Flexible Control
Use a private topic with a submit key for centralized control (gaming, admin) or a public topic for decentralized minting.
Two Modes.
Private Mode
The topic has a submit key. Only the owner can post messages.
- Centralized Control (Game Server)
- High Throughput
- Spam Proof
Public Mode
The topic is open. Anyone can post. Indexers validate the "Payer Account" to ensure only the owner of points can move them.
- Decentralized Minting
- Community Driven
- Requires Strict Indexing
The Protocol.

Transfer
Consensus Ordering
The state is calculated by replaying these messages in order. Valid transfers require sufficient balance. Valid mints must respect the `max` supply and `lim` per transaction.
No Code Required.
The Turtle Moon HCS App allows you to deploy, mint, and transfer HCS-20 points without writing a single line of code.
