Part 1: Introduction

Jannie | HC — Capital: Let’s start our AMA

. Today Ama will start now with Part 1: Some questions from HC for Runnow.io

Jannie: Can you briefly introduce yourself and about Runnow.io project?

William Nguyen: 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!

— — — -
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.

Jannie: Can you tell us what the Runnow’s highlight is? And what is the team focusing on at the moment?

William Nguyen: Our highlights are:

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.

At the moment, Runnow.io is developing a Lifestyle Gamification App based on the daily training needs of physically active people, such as walking, jogging, professional running, cycling, and swimming, to help them burn energy in the body and earn income from that practice.

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.

Jannie: What are the benefits if you hold Runnow Token early? And what is Runnow expected to do to further develop the project and increase the demand for token holdings?

William Nguyen: RUNNOW is our main token, used primarily for buying NFTs and upgrading NFTs level. There are 30 levels you need to upgrade. As you level up, you will have more chances to increase your earning rates.

Also, RUNNOW is used to mint NFTs. You can get a new, rarer one when minting two NFTs; as a result, you will receive higher earning rates and more advantages.

Moreover, Runnow.io aims to build an expansive ecosystem with many unique features (Runnow Man Tournament, Catchup Runnow Go, Donation, Sleep & Earn, Learn & Earn, etc.) and applications (Metaverse of NFT Games, Runnow.io NFT Marketplace, SocialFi, DAO, etc.).

It is expected that the demand for RUNNOW token will go up vastly when gaming products are released and the ecosystem grows. Stay tuned to our IDO at the end of July!

Jannie: Can you share Runnow’s upcoming plans? What is the team’s strategy to attract new users and investors to Runnow and retain them in the long run?

Moreover, we are working with multiple global partners to promote cooperation and bring a lot of exciting news to the community. You can also verify our credibility via our confirmed partners to ensure that the project is authentic.

@lindahuynh: What will the project look like when the downtrend season approaches. Maybe the project will not develop according to the team’s expectations, has our team prepared for this long downtrend?

Also, we are confident about the values that Runnow.io brings to the community, benefits for investors in a time when most people’s investments are at a loss. Hope we do our best to bring the most profit to you.

William Nguyen: Before full launch, we have multiple rounds of testing and getting feedback through the internal Alpha testing. We will also open Beta Test for users to try out the Runnow.io app and collect feedbacks for continuous improvement.

Our advice is that you read the project carefully, and learn how to win with your investment from our application. Of course, the sooner you join, the more your profits will be.
