A Message from Andy Tian, CEO and co-founder of Uplive

Hi everyone,

Welcome to our weekly update! For starters, I’d like to thank all of you who tested our Alpha version of the GIFTO platform! I’ll share with you more details and feedback on the test.

GIFTO Alpha Test Feedback

In addition to our own feedback, we have received a lot of great suggestions/ideas from our enthusiastic volunteers, such as:

“I tried the Alpha with a follower. He and I really loved what we saw. Seamless transaction very easy to use. One thing to mention is that I could not see what type of gift he had offered me. Only saw the notification that he sent me one. Obviously it’s static outside of Facebook. Not sure how you plan to have a dynamic interaction outside of integrated app like Uplive. But for sure having a live animation during streaming on Facebook YouTube is a MUST. Excited to see the integration of GIFTO on the beta.”

Our next iteration will come at end of Feb, with following features

  • Gifts are purchasable by GTO tokens from our HTML5 based wallet
  • Broadcasters will be able to view gifts that fans sent and playback animations
  • Both fans and broadcasters could get IM notifications through not only the web version but also through Uplive app
  • More personalized features for broadcasters to edit their gift dashboard
  • Enhance experience for fans regarding getting feedback from broadcasters after they send gifts

In addition, our in-app wallet test is nearing completion, and we target to test that in early March.

First GIFTO Gift Design Contest

We have held our first GIFTO gift design contest! We were overwhelmed by the amount of sheer creativity in the community, some of you definitely have a ton of talent!

GIFTO Angel Program

Our GIFTO Angel program is still ongoing as we continue to look for volunteers around the world to help us grow a healthy community. Please ping one of our admin’s for more information if you haven’t seen our Angel application form.

Events and Promotions

Many of you have been asking what we are doing to raise awareness of GIFTO project while we are working on the product. Good events take time to plan, and this week we will have several, with details to be announced with each event when it officially launches

  • Listing on Coinnest, Korea’s fastest growing exchange on Feb 8th
  • 2 promotions with major global partners expected mid week
  • A special Valentine’s Day event later this week

So please stay tuned as there are a lot of activities this week!

Our project is quickly gaining pace as we continue to create the world’s biggest blockchain consumer application. And we could not have achieved any of this without your support. We are always open to feedback, so please do not hesitate to send in your suggestions regarding the project and how we can serve you better.

Until next week!
