Hello Hive Community,
First of all, thank you for showing interest in our first post. We appreciate the numerous DMs and feedback we've received. Today, we would like to provide details about the upcoming beta test for our 10KEI project, which is just around the corner.
Our 10KEI project team is not originally from the Hive community. Due to this, while many of you from the existing Hive community may feel a sense of welcome, we also understand that there may be some reservations.
Therefore, we have decided to build trust not just through words and plans but by offering you a beta test version of the app that you can actually experience. The 10KEI service will be available on both iOS and Android platforms.
As mentioned in our previous roadmap post, we started the development of 10KEI in 2023, and we plan to launch the beta service in February 2024. Of course, we are diligently working on the development even now, and we aim to unveil the beta service sometime in February. Whether it will be in mid-February or later is uncertain, but it's certainly not in early February.
Now, you might be curious about what experiences await you in our upcoming beta service. In this initial beta phase, we plan to introduce the following features:
Initially, we planned to support Google and Apple logins to make it easier for users to access 10KEI. However, following internal discussions, for enhanced accessibility, we are currently developing login functionality exclusively through email. Anyone with an email address will be able to use 10KEI seamlessly!
10KEI includes advertisements. While ads may often be perceived as inconvenient and unfavorable in typical apps, in 10KEI, they are an essential element. Rest assured, ads will not interrupt user activities, and users will have the option to watch ads for additional points. A portion of the revenue generated through ads will be utilized to enhance the value of the 10KEI service. Particularly, if users can receive HIVE rewards or additional earnings through ad rewards, it will undoubtedly be beneficial for 10KEI service users.
Pro Mode, in this case, is a standard pedometer function without NFT usage or GPS features. In the official service, users will earn points by walking with the pedometer function, and these points can be used for various purposes. However, in the beta service, users will have the opportunity to experience VIP Mode by purchasing NFTs with points earned through the pedometer function. (It's beta, after all!)
VIP Mode is where users can fully experience 10KEI services after purchasing NFT shoes. In VIP Mode, users can mine tokens, use them to purchase various items such as health recovery items and boosting items, and upgrade their shoes. While full implementation, including upgrades, may be challenging during the beta service, we believe you will understand. We'll provide more details in future posts, and we hope you find it interesting!
Certainly, one of the most critical aspects is the integration with the HIVE wallet! We've invested a considerable amount of time in developing this feature. The HIVE system presented unique challenges compared to systems we've encountered with ETH or BSC. We're on the verge of completing the development of the HIVE wallet system connection and are currently progressing with the integration of HIVE-based tokens and NFTs.
We've provided insights into what can be done in the beta service. Currently, we are in the testing phase of the wallet system, concurrently working on its design. Moving forward, we plan to share our progress through future posts. Remember, we are always open, so feel free to reach out via DMs, comments, emails, or any preferred channel!
Thank you for your continued interest and support!
Special thanks to
