At Downtown Digital Dollars, our mission is simple: to revolutionize the way communities engage with local businesses by creating a seamless, digital first currency that keeps money where it matters most–within the community.
How DDD Works

We believe every dollar spent locally has the power to strengthen communities, create jobs, and fuel small business success.
With Downtown Digital Dollars, we’re building a system that:
Encourages Local Spending
Keep money circulating within the community.
Supports Small Businesses
Give them the tools they need to thrive in a digital world.
Rewards Consumers
Offer perks and incentives for shopping locally.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
When we launched our first alternative currency in 2008 using copper tokens, we saw how local money could spark curiosity, build trust, and strengthen communities. But physical tokens were slow and hard to scale.
Now, with Downtown Digital Dollars, we’ve brought those same values into the digital age—creating a fast, transparent, and scalable local currency rooted in community, not speculation.
With decades of experience in complementary currency systems, our team knows what works. Honest money—connected to local businesses, relationships, and values—helps communities thrive.
We’re not building tech for tech’s sake. We’re building tools for people. Join us in returning money to the hands of those who make our communities strong. Let’s build a resilient local economy—together.
— The Downtown Digital Dollars Team
A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
Our goal is to create a sustainable, community-driven financial ecosystem that helps businesses grow, encourages consumers to shop local, and ultimately builds stronger, more resilient cities.
Join us as we reshape the future of local commerce—one digital dollar at a time.
