Introduction
Mila Ujee | Kenzo Ventures: It would be nice before you start introducing your self to our community first.
Time and oppurtunity are yours.
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!
Mila Ujee: Can you tell more about Runnow.io to our Community?
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 mileston we make.
Mila Ujee: Can you tell us what is the most unique feature of Runnow.io and what will the user/holders benefit from it in the long term?
William Nguyen: Our most unique feature is the NFT system.
First, our NFTs system allows players to personalize their fitness journey. You can choose any NFTs (Sneaker, Bicycle, Swimwear, KOL, etc.) suitable for your preferences to run, ride, swim and transform.
Next, there is an expansive range of NFT sports equipment for you to choose from. Here is a closer look of a what single NFT Sneaker can do: https://blog.runnow.io/2022/07/05/why-should-you-hold-runnow-io-nft-sneakers/. You can first get NFT Sneakers in our INO or through in-app trading and later, minting mechanism.
Moreover, we also offer more exquisite backup NFT systems for those sports equipment such as Land, Gem, and Statue. These will support users in inclining their profit while running and other attributes.
In the long run, owning Runnow.io NFTs will not only be a statement of your commitment to a healthier lifestyle but also assets that help you increase your monthly income. And that’s what Runnow.io aims for the global community, a fair chance and easy access to a healthier, wealthier life.
Mila Ujee: Can you provide some information about your Roadmap and how is Runnow.io progressing so far?
William Nguyen: Currently, our INO is still on the go, and will last until Jul 30, 2022 on multiple launchpads.

Questions from Twitter
Question 1 from @Apple_Moderator: In researching the project I could see that the Your platform has not yet audited its smart contracts, so I would like to know when this will take place and if the community will be able to vote on which top-tier organization holds this important event?
William Nguyen: 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.
Question 2 from @Zara15082600: Most investors are focusing on token value and don’t have the right idea about the use and value of the project in the long run. In @KGB_Studio this case, what are the benefits for investors in holding tokens? Do you have any plans to increase demand in the long run?
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!
Question 3 from @Caminda88: Who are your target audience and customers? Which regions do you specifically target, or are there restrictions for users? Some other projects or protocols may copy keyword items. How can you ensure that it is only represented by your project?
William Nguyen: Our target audience are crypto enthusiasts and fitness enthusiasts, from 22 to 35 years old.
Currently, we are focusing on Vietnam and Turkey. But we do have plans to expand our community and application to the global markets such as Russia, Japan, USA, etc.
