My mobile device happens to be my best friend. When I am using Twitter or Instagram, the whole action on the outside just seems to pass me by. Sometimes, I don’t even hear the person next to me. If youre similar to you and youre the least bit bothered by this, I implore you to keep reading.
Introducing Kuende
Kuende is a blockchain based social network with the intention of using gamified challenges to enhance real life interaction. In otherwords, every interaction you have online has the main goal of taking you outside your comfort zone which in most cases is your home. While most social media networks seek to enhance online interactions, Kuende intends to leverage on the power of social media to bring about healthy offline interactions through gamification. With the Kuende platform, users will be able to create challemges that require some form of offline interactions and participants will be rewarded with point which could be exchanged for in-app rewards. If you still doubt how much of a success this could be, you need look no further than the widespread rave views Pokemon Go has received since its inception in 2016. The concept of Kuende is a combination of social networking platforms like facebook and Pokemon Go.
ICO and Tokenomics
At the time of writing, 13,249 ETH (about $2.7m) has been raised which is well above the soft cap of 400 ETH. The public sale ends on 16th of November, 2018. Most of the funds raised during the ICO will be invested in further development of the platform.
The Kuende ecosystem operates a tokenized economy like most other blockchain based projects. The economy consists of two tokens which are the Kuende Token (KUE) and Kuende Points (Kp). The Kuende Token is an ERC20 utility token which is created for anyone that believes and supports the vision while the Kuende Points is an in-app currency and will act as a form of reward for active involvement in the Kuende environment. The number of KUE tokens a user owns directly determines the amount of Kp they can get as rewards.
The Kuende App
The Kuende App has already been developed and with over 20,000 downloads and a 4.8 rating on Google play store, there is definitely more to come.
Conclusion
I could spend a whole day telling you about the positive effects of social media. However, there is no denying the fact that there have equally been corresponding negative aspects. If the team behind the Kuende project remain true to the work they have started, social media is sure to take a turn in the right direction and I really look forward to that.
