On July 6th, 2022, Mr. William Nguyen, Chairman of KBG Studios, has participated in a live AMA in the IM Community’s Telegram Official Group.
In this session, he had a chance to share with the community a thorough introduction about Runnow.io, addressed concerns about the project, discussed next goals, and much more. The questions posed by community members and William’s responses are included in this blog post, which also serves as a summary of the live AMA session.
Part 1: Introduction
Ba Tan | IM Community: Can you briefly describe what is Runnow.io? We would like to know more about it and how it works.
William Nguyen: 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 milestone we make.
Ba Tan: What products are the Runnow.io team focusing on developing?
William Nguyen: 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.
To get started, users need to equip themselves with NFTs in the form of sports equipment such as Sneakers/Bicycle/Swimwear. There are only 10,000 limited NFT Boxes per type. Then, they will select a game mode between 12+ play modes to exercise and earn with Runnow.io.
Moreover, with diverse NFTs collections, users can freely trade, sell, lend, and 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.
Ba Tan: What role does the $RUNNOW token play in your ecosystem? What are the benefits of holding it for the long term?
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!
Ba Tan: Can Runnow.io team please update some RunNow latest news or major events to attract more users?
William Nguyen: Starting in May, Runnow.io kicked off with an Airdrop event, attracting 806,605 entries – 158,764 actions – 22,292 users. Indeed, Runnow.io is receiving great welcome from the worldwide community of sports enthusiasts and crypto traders.

Part 2: Twitter question
Question 1 from @MehtapAydin21: Mobile games are popular this year and possibly in the future, because they are simple & can be played anywhere & at any time. Will Runnow be available on the Play store/App store? How can a player get the game by pay or free form easy ways?
William Nguyen: Runnow.io Mobile App will be available on both App Store and Google Play Store. We are conducting the internal alpha testing and will open the Public Beta Test for users on July 14.
