Hello BOLT Supporters,
The second tranche of the Cobak Token Sale is completed, and once again, it was fully sold out! Our attention now turns to the Bitsonic Token Sale, which started on Monday.
These great results have been made possible by the wonderful support of our Korean community, the drive of our Korean Team and our local Advisors, Leon Kim and JB.
BOLT’s growth strategy is all about leveraging the power of great partnerships, great content and great communities. This week, we kicked off a new BOLT initiative to support the football fans in the community. “Kicking it with Shaz” is a weekly show where our homegrown Football fanatic, Shaz, wraps up football news for the week — all in just three minutes per episode! Read about Shaz, cheer him on and watch his debut below.
This week, we talk a bit more about Willis Wee, Founder and CEO of Tech in Asia, who is also an Advisor to BOLT. He is helping to deliver an optimal compensation system in the BOLT ecosystem.
Some of you might remember our partnership with the Blockchain Association of Kenya (BAK), an ongoing program where BOLT and BAK will produce and distribute educational content about the Blockchain for East Africa. Keep reading for an update.
Happy reading!

⚡️Profile: Meet Willis
Willis Wee is the Founder and CEO of Tech in Asia. He is also an Advisor to BOLT, helping to deliver an optimal compensation system in the BOLT ecosystem.
“We believe that the top 20% of contributors will bring 80% of the views, and these are the people who should be rewarded. First, we are going to help BOLT implement the math equation, the rewards curve where X is a variable that measures quality. The second part, would be a curation curve, and the logic is to reward earlier curators that signal good content. This is how we will find the top 20% who will be heavily rewarded.”
