In 2014 a charity-driven challenge emerged — ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. It challenged people either to donate $100 to the ALS, or to otherwise douse themselves with a bucket of ice-cold water while filming themselves as well as making a smaller donation and tagging three others with the same provocation. In few months this challenge raised $220 million dollars and gathered over 1 billion views on YouTube. As the dare propagated, it tagged various celebrities and people with large numbers of social followers, causing the challenge to grow in a viral manner. People became interested in these challenges and until 2018 we already had 16 viral challenges that raised well over $1 billion dollars and gathered over 300 billion views. PROVOCO is a platform that will revolutionise the whole social challenge industry and will help you earn unreal amounts of money while doing these or creating different challenges.
What is PROVOCO?
PROVOCO, as we officially state, is a social challenge network which is made for the Ethereum Blockchain. We would like to say that PROVOCO operates on the idea that everyone loves a challenge, especially when you can earn money for doing it — either watching someone succeed or fail, to challenge others or even challenge oneself. We offer a possibility to earn money for being adventurous with these 3 easy steps:
Download our PROVOCO app and create your personal account;
Find and accept a challenge that suits you the most or create one yourself;
Record yourself doing that challenge and receive tokens for doing so.
We always say that PROVOCO is based on four main components that build the whole platform:
Win a challenge or challenge yourself, provoke your friends or anyone in public. New experience and new habits such as adventure, travel, sports, learning, food, health, and many more will be available here in PROVOCO — do things that you enjoy and earn by doing so.
Earn money from challenges, achievements or any daily activities. Rewards paid in VOCO tokens, any cryptocurrency, fiat currency, or various physical prizes — by business companies or other participants.
Creating viral challenges to collect money and give an opportunity to contribute for a better world is one of the many goals in PROVOCO. Ensuring obligatory payment by participants, these viral challenges will collect much more funding than on any other channels.
Take on micro-challenges for progress, shoot live videos of various daily micro-achievements and share them with friends in direct messages, circles or as your own public stories. Be part of this new and huge social network where people can interact and share their daily life through a challenge perspective.
PROVOCO is not only a challenge network — our vision is to make PROVOCO a social network were you can not only accept or create challenges but to also post, share, comment and generally interact with other users. We will be releasing a separate article regarding our main aspects and business insides really soon, so stay tuned!
Using the Blockchain to create an ideal network
The blockchain is a fresh form of digital technology that generally prevails independently of government authorities or private institutions, there is absolutely no central server, no administrator, no national boundary, no owner, and it is at the forefront of conversations about the future of democracy, money, legislation, personal information, health, security, insurance, and more — to the degree that some people are even discussing whether it could cause a major disruption to traditional infrastructures.
Blockchain helps PROVOCO to make guaranteed payments — every bit of information will be stored safely and your transactions will be instant. Also, users will have a personal reputation rating, depending on the history fairness of their previous activities. The social profile data will be logged as a hash signature on the Ethereum blockchain using the anonymisation algorithm, ensuring that all user statistics and history is trusted, private, verifiable or destructible on demand.
Earn money by voting on your favourites
We love our community and we know that they understand and know the specifics of a challenge better then anyone else — with all of these viral challenges comes a lot of different opinions. What we have done is we have created a system were people can earn money every month — any user can vote on a challenge that they most enjoyed and at the end of month that user will receive a prize.
For example, a user creates a challenge and someone accepts it. That challenge, when completed, can be seen by any user and can be voted on depending if the user enjoyed it or not. If that challenge had the most votes at the end of the month — that user will receive a prize! Any user, with a bit of imagination and extreme, can earn a lot, and we repeat — a lot of money while doing things that they enjoy.
With PROVOCO, anyone has plenty of options to get involved and have fun, while calmly knowing that because it’s part of the VOCO ecosystem and its tokenomy mechanism logic behind it, one passively does something good for the society automatically.
With PROVOCO, a user will be able to create an infinite types of challenges. Just a few of them:
Brand awareness campaigns funded by businesses;
Sports competitions for new world records;
Progress challenges for engineering, science, street art;
Crowdfunding for natural disaster relief, charity;
Creative challenges with no particular reason;
Health challenges to stop smoking or reduce some weight;
Social challenges to incentivise animal adoption, help for elders;
World singing, dancing, performance competitions;
Extreme challenges for exotic journeys
All the challenge outcomes will be verified by the public and record keeping will be kept using blockchain technology for undaunted trust and transparency, so services like Guinness World Records might become obsolete in the future.
We have made a huge change to the whole concept of PROVOCO — it has become the social challenge experience that we wanted to initially release. We will be releasing separate articles regarding these updates really soon. We are thanking you once again for your continuous support. PROVOCO — Challenge Yourself.
