Key Q2 Milestones and Updates:

BOLT+ — Content, User Growth, and Development!

We launched our flagship BOLT+ service on iOS, Android, and on Web. We have begun our multi-platform content delivery and distribution strategy as well across our social media communities.

The following data is indicative of the success the BOLT Team have had in building user engagement and growing our collective user base through cross-marketing and unique content opportunities.

We have been constantly evolving the way users consume and engage with our numerous BOLT properties across the spectrum. Here is a sample distribution of what was done for the Cricket World Cup this Summer.

We are also making significant investment in expanding the depth and breadth of coverage in BOLT Originals, which will allow us to expand the timeliness and relevance of our curated content to BOLT+ users.

We have also on-boarded 30 new Live TV channels which have been optimised to stream on mobile, even on 2G connection speeds (90kb/s) for emerging markets. Now, watching live TV on the go is easier than before, thanks to BOLT+!

We have also provided extensive coverage of multiple sporting events this Summer, including Copa America, Africa Cup of Nations, the Cricket World Cup, FIFA Women’s World Cup, and Tour de France.

We have also included several high profile partnerships with Helo (TikTok), which has access to over 60M users in India, Payfo, which has over 26M users in ASEAN, XendPay, a financial services company which was founded by the Deputy Mayor of London, and Vodi, which has over 3M users around the world.

BOLT Token — Integrations, Partnerships, and Listings!

Today, we have been officially listed on Bitmax, KuCoin, and Binance DEX, and we are migrating our entire ERC-20 supply onto the Binance Chain (BEP-2) standard.
