Cryptocurrency features stay within what Apple allows: no mining on device, licensed exchanges, organisation-enrolled wallets
The question The app touches cryptocurrency. Which of wallet, mining, exchange, ICO or task rewards does it do, and does each stay within the section's conditions? Name the evidence.
A person or a model answers it from the app's texts and screens; the answer is kept only while the facts it saw are unchanged.

The rule, in our words
- App Review Guidelines: Cryptocurrency wallets only from developers enrolled as an organisation; no mining unless it runs off device; cryptocurrency transactions only on an approved exchange and only in countries or regions where the app has the required licensing and permissions; ICOs, crypto futures and other crypto-securities trading only from established banks, securities firms, FCMs or other approved financial institutions, complying with all applicable law; no offering currency to users for tasks such as downloading other apps, recruiting users or posting to social networks.
- Blockchain-based Content: Cryptocurrency purchase, holding and exchange should go through certified services in regulated jurisdictions, and the app must comply with the regulations of every region it targets; no mining on the device; an app selling or letting users earn tokenised assets must declare it in the Financial features form and mark such in-app products; no glamorising earnings; outside the licensed gambling programme, money should not be accepted for a chance at an NFT of unknown value, and NFTs must not be wagered or staked for prizes of real-world value.
Okkok never stores the stores' text. Each item above is our paraphrase, and the link is the page it rests on, verified unchanged by fingerprint on every run.
The other store
- Both ban on-device mining. Apple bans rewarding users with cryptocurrency for downloads, referrals or social posts; Google requires a Financial features declaration, marks tokenised in-app products, and bans chance-based NFT awards outside the licensed gambling programme. partial
- Apple restricts who may offer the feature; Google requires a declaration and regional licensing that Google can link to the developer account. partial
- none on the no-paid-chance principle; Google names NFTs specifically. same
