Matthias Dandois is a French athlete who has been at the top of his game for years, pushing both progression and style in flatland BMX and earning not one, but nine world champion titles! Hailed as one of the most inspiring next-generation riders, it’s only logical for Matthias to keep breaking boundaries and ride into the future of the internet.

Together with THX Network he has now launched his engagement token $DOIS. Matthias will be the first athlete to utilize this technology to reward his community for their engagement on existing (social) platforms. This allows Matthias to connect with his audience in a new way and give back to his community. This exclusive partnership was brought to life with the help of our partner SBRecords.

Launching an engagement token? 🤔💍

$DOIS is a token that is used to reward interaction, instead of functioning as a means of transferring direct monetary value, like cryptocurrency most often does. But that doesn’t mean $DOIS doesn’t have any value. Time is one of the most valuable currencies there is, so rewarding users for their time engaging with your content creates value on its own.

Users will be able to use their $DOIS to redeem rewards in the future, which gives the tokens even more value, especially for fans of Matthias. Think of $DOIS like the loyalty points you earn from your favorite retailer. Not directly exchangeable for money, but you can save up for some sweet benefits. For more information regarding $DOIS, see the FAQ.

Rewarding fans for their engagements ✨🏆✨

Utilizing the THX Network software, Matthias is able to reward his community on YouTube and Twitter for completing engagements like subscribing to his channel, liking a specific video or retweeting a Tweet. In the future, more platform connections will be made available for creators to use, allowing for even more cross-platform engagement. In the coming weeks Matthias will share opportunities to claim your first $DOIS on his social channels.

The future of $DOIS 🔮

After an explosive growth in blockchain utility last year, we believe 2022 will be a pivotal year for blockchain adoption. Innovators like Matthias realize that today is a great moment to start utilizing blockchain technology, even when the landscape is still developing itself.

“Throughout my whole career I’ve always looked for new tricks and most importantly new experiences, so today I am very excited to ride into web3 with my community and THX Network! Launching my own engagement token: A brand new way to connect with my fans and give them back a bit of the energy they’ve given me for so many years. Really looking forward to seeing where this technology will take us!”

— Matthias Dandois

The THX Network team is super stoked about riding into web3 together with Matthias, as we love to enable creators to leverage blockchain technology as an add-on feature to their existing (business) activities.

“Most creators and communities are wondering what web3 could do for them or where to start. Our tools and blueprints allow them to get started right away. We do not build a platform or a marketplace, our integrations allow the creators to use their own token in basically any existing app or platform. We want to enable communities to support their creator through engagement and utility of the creator’s token in a totally new way.”

— Steffen Boode, THX Network & SBRecords
