2022 — The Year of Uhive

It’s been a rollercoaster of a year for everyone on this planet we call ‘earth’. Let’s take a look back at 2021, and then ahead to 2022, and some of the big announcements, targets and partnerships that will make Uhive take the worlds (digital and physical) by storm.

We started the year by raising $1.2 million via one of the UK’s most successful crowdfunds of 2021 (which we ultimately declined 😲 in favour of raising funds via our own community, more about that later…). We listed Uhive Token on two global exchanges and have since traded *$23 million in volume!!! Uhive announced it was a ‘Metaverse’ to the world (along with a little company previously known as Facebook 🤮), which catapulted Uhive front and centre with everyone from Keanu Reeves, VISA, and Elon Musk joining the conversation. We also launched our very first podcast ‘Utalk with Jay & Rob’ which has already been listened to over 100,000 times. Utalk’s episodes included guests as diverse as a leading crypto influencer, radical feminist, founding team member of Apple, a Metaverse Jedi, and a designer-to-the-stars (well worth a listen).

We’re setting our sights on 10 million users by EOY in 2022

We reached (as-of-writing) ~850K users, just short of our one million goal, but we call that a win. We’re setting our sights on 10 million users by EOY in 2022, and we’ve got some dynamite partnerships, features, and growth hacks to help us achieve it! Uhive Token has been on a heck of ride, and demand has sky-rocketed Q3 and Q4. Due in large part to launching Uhive’s NFT Marketplace, listing on Uniswap, announcing our intention to list on Gate.io in the new year, and who can forget — the Genesis update launched 🐱‍🏍.

Speaking of Genesis update, Uhive became the first social platform to launch it’s own proprietary technology — the Oasis (a metaverse world) — which disrupts the (so far) linear content engagement experience currently established by the market. The Oasis jettisons users to a 3D world, rich with content and into an immersive universe where all the content you see is owned by the creator. You own your content, and can use it to attract communities to your virtual land, increasing the value 💰 of your digital asset as people stop by to engage, or purchase virtual land around your space. The only limits to what you can create in the Oasis are those of your own imagination!

One universal truth emerged — to build it, and build for the Metaverse, you have to follow the Five Laws.

“Metaverse” was the buzzword of the year, although some were less-than-impressed, in particular Time Magazine’s Person of the Year (we’ll save you a ‘space’). But that didn’t stop over $400 million being spent on NFTs alone, and plots of virtual land being sold for millions of dollars a pop. But, in the midst of the buzzwords, the bored-looking apes, the creepy avatars (you know who you are), and billions of dollars, one universal truth emerged — to build it, and build for the Metaverse, you have to follow the Five Laws.

While the world cringed at the news that (gasp) cryptocurrency and in particular NFT minting, was terribly bad for the environment, Uhive announced that it’s propriety blockchain technology (responsible for every digital transaction on the platform) had the same carbon-footprint as a single VISA transaction (0.00045119 kgCO2 in emissions). In comparison, a single Bitcoin transaction is responsible for 948.52 kgCO2 in emissions (equivalent to 58,086 hours of watching YouTube).

It’s going to be impossible to ignore Uhive in 2022!

Cryptocurrency mass-adoption edged closer to reality in 2021, as users across Uhive created 718,467* active digital wallets, made 6,506,254* internal transactions, minted 37,349,432* virtual spaces, and owned 1,377,586,364* Uhive tokens. WOW! We’re proud to say that Uhive has succeeded where almost every other crypto-platform has failed — by removing barriers-to-entry to crypto for everyday people. It’s literally as easy as signing up to a social network. 2022 will see us add more decentralised exchanges (PancakeSwap, Sushiswap, we’re looking at you), list on Gate.io, build out our Metaverse partnership network, adding cross-chain interoperability (i.e. 🎮, 🎟, 👟) allowing for HVE2 to be used as a transmission of value across the entire Metaverse 🌌. It’s going to be impossible to ignore Uhive in 2022!

We’ve got huge milestones to accomplish in 2022, and we couldn’t be more hyped to share these achievements with our community as they happen. For example; in the wake of our recently closed token crowdfund and hitting our target in record-time, we’ll be announcing 📣 our second round in the new year — so be sure to follow our blog, socials, and subscribe to our email to know more as-it-happens.

*All figures accurate at time of writing

Uhive stands for a handful of social media revolutions that are breaking the decades-old norm and disrupting the status-quo that currently stands between Big Tech and individuals who use social media. While these include the Oasis and the Magna Carta Protocol, Uhive’s most ambitious and sweeping goal is to share all of its wealth and success with everyone via a universal income proposal, which unconditionally distributes dividends (via tokens) for all active users on a daily basis. Simply put — success and wealth should not be distributed between only those that own equity in Uhive, but all those that participate in making Uhive a success!
