Liven v5.7 — The Referral Overhaul
Liven’s referral system and underlying back-end architecture has been overhauled to enable a more robust and responsive referral system — the reward for referring your mates is now in LVN, deposited directly into your wallet, and you’ll be able to see the status of all your referrals from within the Liven app.

Along with the rest of the top 10 finalists Liven competed for a chance to pitch directly to Sir Richard Branson himself on Necker Island. Though we didn’t take the top spot, Liven placed 4th while winning the Blockchain & Digital Currency Verticals.
