Dear RefToken community,

This month, the team at RefToken are proud to bring to you the official beta launch of the RefToken Decentralized Affiliate Platform. You can try our beta, and you’ll find official instructions here.

Are you an affiliate? You can find and apply for merchant deals through our decentralized marketplace.

Our beta marks a year of hard work by our development team, and the launch of a brand new chapter in affiliate marketing. Within our proprietary platform, merchants can post marketing deals, for example, an ICO operator looking for affiliates to attract investors to their website; and affiliates can log on to the platform, browse the latest deals, apply for deals and get accepted by the merchant.

Affiliates and Merchants can track their lifetime revenue through the platform.

Once an affiliate has fulfilled a deal, and the smart contract has authenticated that the conversions are real and released the payment in REF, our platform allows affiliates to track their yearly revenue, customer conversions, new user acquisitions, and their daily revenue in REF.

Likewise, merchants can also track conversions, the total number of affiliates onboarded, and their lifetime revenue through affiliate deals.

Affiliates and merchants can track new users, conversions, daily revenue and total revenue in REF through our platform.

The beta launch gives our development team a valuable opportunity to test the functionality of our platform, catch any bugs, and work closely with our test partners to identify any improvements for our platform.

Which brings us to our second piece of news this month. We expect our full featured decentralized affiliate platform to launch during April 2019, and we have already secured a number of pre-signed clients who are eager to begin using our platform for affiliate deals.

These include Livepod, a monetization platform for creatives which merges Skype, YouTube and webinar software on the blockchain; and Rubikon, an easy-to-use seed to sale software solution for the burgeoning cannabis industry.

Likewise, RefToken will also be featuring it’s own deals on the platform, building our ecosystem and taking our project from strength to strength. The launch of our beta also signifies a special moment for our token holders, as the REF token will shortly begin to realise it’s utility through it’s intended use case on our affiliate platform.

For those of you who participated in our ICO, we would like to remind you that as our platform goes live, you will need to transfer your REF out of the RefToken ICO wallet and transfer it to a MetaMask wallet (or another ERC-20 compatible wallet) or alternatively, to the OKEx exchange. This is due to changes in our wallet.

We look forward to seeing how our beta launch evolves over the next month, and we will keep our community members updated over on our Telegram channel. If you haven’t already joined, find us here: https://t.me/reftoken

Alternatively, follow our Reddit, Facebook or Twitter social media channels.

Until next month, thanks a lot RefToken Community!
