AMA EVENT START

📌SEGMENT #1 | Guest and project introduction

Question #1:
Can you introduce yourself and How long have you been working in the cryptocurrency industry?

I’m William — Chairman at KBG Studios — a gamefi art and development studio.
I am a serial entrepreneur with vast experiences in over 20+ technology businesses and several industries. My aspiration is to adopt the newest technology in management and financial activities on a global scale
It is my honor to be here to introduce Runnow.io — a promising Move & Earn project that my team and I are passionately working on! This is the first and only project in the world to cooperate with Huawei in terms of communication and technology!
For this question, we have a strong foundation team with vast experiences in blockchain, crypto and games. We have been developing the blockchain and crypto field for 3+ years, and more than a year of blockchain game development.
Only now have we started to roll out better solutions in the Fomo market. You can learn more about us on our website: https://runnow.io/

Question #2: Coming to project
Can you tell us all more about the project, the idea, how it started? and especially why it’s needed?

That’s a good question
Runnow.io is a Lifestyle Gamification — Move & Earn project developed by KBG Studios
With a vision “One million steps for a healthier world”, we want to build a healthier, inclusive, and sustainable world where people not only take care of themselves but also care for others.
With that in mind, Runnow.io encourages people to take steps in daily exercise and participate in social activities. Not only do users improve their physical health and earn valuable in-game rewards, but they can also connect with communities worldwide and join in regular social activities to support those in need.
Balancing between market trends and our vision, Runnow.io will constantly innovate and upgrade many unique features for users to join and support the community: Runnow Man Tournament, Catchup Runnow Go, Donation, Sleep & Earn, Learn & Earn, etc
This is our long-term commitment that will be attached in every step and mileston we make.

Question #3:

Can you list a few special features that make RunNow interesting and different from other M2E games?

First, different from many other projects focusing on only one sport (running), Runnow.io offers diverse sports, including running, cycling, swimming, gym, yoga, sleep, and more. As a result, users have multiple choices when choosing NFTs to start and play modes to earn.
Second, it’s easy to play and earn a lot in Runnow.io. There are 12+ Play Modes for users to participate and earn RUNNOW/RUNGEM tokens. With diverse NFTs collections, you can freely trade, sell, lend, lease them for more profits. Tournaments and challenges will be open soon to engage the whole community. Here is a sneak peek: Mara Runnow (for running), Tour de Runnow (for cycling), Swim with Runnow (for swimming), Runnow Man Tournament, and much more.
Also, we will cooperate with NGOs and social communities to organize regular activities for people to join and support those in need. Runnow.io wants to build a healthier, inclusive, and sustainable world where people not only take care of themselves but also care for others.
Moreover, Runnow.io will be an expansive ecosystem with endless growth opportunities. We will launch a Metaverse of NFT Games and release our own NFT Marketplace, SocialFi, DAO, etc. for you to trade and connect with other users.

Security and anonymity are always prioritized by BlockChain projects in the development of project platforms and technologies. So, does you have any technological solutions or plans to enhance user trust in these issues?

Actually, we are being audited by Verichains — one of the most high-quality blockchain development and smart contract security audit services. It once fixed the Ronin Bridge from Axie Infinity and we are very confident to have our project protected by them.

Before full launch, we also have multiple rounds of testing and getting feedback through the internal Alpha testing and public Beta testing. We also listen to users and collect their feedbacks for continuous improvement.

What strategy will you implement to bring non-crypto-natives into your ecosystem? How do you keep a balance between developing the technology and also improving the value of your token?

For non-crypto users, we have some activities that you can join for fun and also improve your health
The initial investment is $0, so you can get familiar with the project and our system for free
