You probably felt a seismic shift in the earth’s atmosphere this week. No, no nothing to do with the Mars eclipse… it was the launch of our bounty campaign!

The first week of our earth-shaking bounty has been like a whirlwind, trapped in a tornado, wrapped in a hurricane…

workID registrations are up by around 1000%.

Telegram registrations have increased by 500% (“hi” to everyone in there…)

Over 2000 social accounts have been linked…

Basically, things are getting REAL. And we’re only a few days in!

And what’s behind all the action? The hard work of our development team, of course. While we’re out on the rooftops, megaphone in hand, telling the world about WorkChain.io, they’re hunkered deep underground in their impenetrable bunker (the Illuminati will never find us!) coding, developing and debugging. Here’s everything they’ve been up to…

What’s New in This Update

Fully Automated Bounty

Forget spreadsheets, backroom accounting, guestimates and pseudo-Ponzi schemes that leave you short on tokens. We’ve built the most transparent, accurate and automated bounty platform you ever did see.

It’s so automated it’s like the self-driving car of bounties…

Go on the hunt for WATT tokens through our automated bounty page.

Bounty Page Features

Public Leaderboard: There’s nothing like a little friendly competition. Track your progress as you earn points against all the bounty hunters on our public leaderboard.
Automated Social Tracking: Anytime you post the good word about WorkChain.io on social, our bounty system will automatically track it and add points to your tally. This thing is so smart it would have skipped two grades at school.
Bug Bounty: See something not working quite right? Report a bug and get rewarded with tokens. Extermination has never been so lucrative.
Submissions: Create and submit your own blog or video content and get tokens based on originality, creativity and reach.

Brand New User Interface

Token Balance: Always know how many tokens you’ve got with clear-as-day token balance in the menu pane of the application interface.
Bounty Information: If you haven’t signed up for the bounty already (Come on… what are you waiting for?!) you’ll see all the bounty info every time you login.
Account Level: Account membership level is shown on the wallet page — this is “Employee Premium” to start, with more tiers to come.

All New Homepage

Look, we’re not saying there was anything wrong with the last homepage. But this new one… oh man, it’s got it all…

Eye-popping new design and color scheme.
Company advisor profiles — the smart folks helping shine a guiding light.
Expanded team bios — go on, get to know us a lil’ better.
New team and company videos — Did someone say movie night?!
Updated whitepaper and one-pager.

WATT Token Page

Everything you need to know about WATT Tokens all on one page.

The how, why, when and WATT about our token model all in one place. Includes token info, ETH address, usage info, staking value, allocation, tech specs and FAQS. Plus, most importantly, how to get your hands on them.

Managed Wallet

You need somewhere to store all those tokens. A rubber band doesn’t work so well with tokens…

Our managed wallet is built into the WorkChain.io app interface. It’s part of the platform, not another side wallet to add to the dozens you’re already forgetting the keys to. The release of our managed wallet demonstrates WATT token platform utility. For instance, right this very second you can receive WATT tokens to your wallet to become a premium user. Access all bounty participants will soon have.

Bug Fixes

Like a swarm of mosquitoes on a windscreen, a total of 70 logged bugs have been squashed! (Special shout out to the bounty hunters who found some of them!). These include…

Bounty sign-up pop up remaining once you sign up for the bounty. We know you’re signed up, so we’ll quit bugging you about it.
Google Authentication only showing four digits. Those extra couple of digits are kind of handy, so now there’s room for ‘em.
Removal of the “Sign in” button when you’re already signed in.
