We aim to build a crypto-platform with a forward-looking concept to provide entry-level products and services for everyone and based on security and legal compliance.
Our marketplace has over 100,000 NFTs and over 30 gameFi collections you can choose, here is a QR code you can download the app, We aim to build a crypto-platform not just with the forward-looking concept of providing entry-level products and services for everyone, but also firstly based on security and legal compliance.

So we move to the second part, which is the questions from the host.
First question for Runnow @WilliamKBG , can you list a few special features that make RunNow interesting and different from other M2E games?
William | KBG Studio:
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.
Right now, users can download Runnow.io App and start experiencing by themselves on App Store (TestFlight) and Google Play Store.

Flores:
That details its very helpful for our community.
And next question is for metabase itself, and @juansoe as CEO will answer it.
Users often care less about technology, but rather the value of the token. How do #Metabase manage to strike a balance between developing the technology and also improving the value of the token? What are the benefits of token long-term holders? @KyberOcean
Juan:
Hey guys!
Technology as we know is one of the most crucial aspects of our life yet some parts of it are still complicated. Metabase strives to becoming the leading GameFi infrastructure to remove the existing frictions faced by end-users today as a mission to onboard the next BILLION people into GameFi.
We believe that as our token holders play a strong part in growing the value of our ecosystem, they will be able to participate in more activities and access more exclusive features to grow the project using our tokens. The token holders would then enjoy the value of what Metabase earns from different aspects of our services.
Flores:

Q1. Have you being audited ? Have not heard you talk about that security of funds is what every investor craves for and plans to escape incase of insecurity if funds,scams and rug pulls ? How strongly built are your security put in place? #RUNNOW #AMAwithRUNNOW #BOXTRADEX
Answer:
Good question
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.
