How FBX pricing works

FBX (Fruit Bucks) is FruitPorch's community currency. Here's exactly how an item's value is auto-calculated from the community rate table — a set rate per item, multiplied by quantity.

1. Set rate by produce type

categoryEvery item has a set Fruit Bucks rate from the community rate table. Everyday produce like apples, bananas, lemons and oranges are 1 FBX per unit, while richer or scarcer items (mangoes, avocados, pomegranates, watermelon) carry a higher rate.

2. AI freshness & quality

auto_awesomeWhen you snap a photo, our vision model identifies the produce and grades freshness from 0–100, reading ripeness, blemishes and variety. This grade is shown to help neighbors understand the item's condition — it does not change the FBX value.

3. Quantity & basket size

shopping_basketThe value scales with how much you're offering — the set per-item rate multiplied by quantity. List 4 avocados at 2 FBX each and the basket is locked at 8 FBX. No haggling over price, no guesswork.

The simple formula

Listing FBX value = the item's set rate (from the community rate table) × the quantity you list. The value is auto-calculated and locked — AI freshness grading is informational only and never changes the price.

A couple of examples

  • nutrition6 Meyer lemons at 2 FBX each → the basket is locked at 12 FBX.
  • nutrition4 Hass avocados at 2 FBX each → 8 FBX, since avocados carry a higher set rate than everyday produce.

Can I change a listing's FBX value?

No. The FBX value is auto-calculated from the community rate table (set rate × quantity) and locked when you publish, so trades stay fair and consistent for everyone. Buyers can still propose a trade or counter-offer.

How do I earn FBX?

Earn Fruit Bucks by completing exchanges, listing surplus harvest, welcoming new neighbors, and helping at community events. Track everything in your FBX wallet.
