We are also pleased to announce that NFT Workx will be exhibiting and pitching at the Future Blockchain Summit in Dubai, 15-18 October 2023. The Future Blockchain Summit is the largest blockchain conference and exhibition in the region and will bring together world-leading companies and influential minds to explore the transformative potential of disruptive multi-industry blockchain technologies.
Token Launch Updates
As the markets continue to stand still and the crypto winter continues, we are still waiting to see signs of improvement. October and November have historically been positive months for the industry so we shall wait and see.
Our focus is to now get the Asset Workx App updated (more details below) and the eCommerce platform launched by November. At this point we will begin to onboard more app users and our first e-commerce customers.
As always, timing is everything and we will make the final decision on the token launch based on the data and industry sentiment.
Mobile App Updates
As we get closer to the eCommerce platform launch we are now turning our focus back onto the Asset Workx app and will begin working on the following updates:
- Getting the App on Binance Smart Chain (BSC)
- Check to see how many WRKX Tokens are in the users wallet
- Implement Membership Tiers (based on no. WRKX tokens held)
These updates will be critical in onboarding the next wave of app users. Buying, earning and holding WRKX tokens are key to the benefits membership will provide.
eCommerce Platform Updates
We have been busy working on a key feature called Tokengating on the eCommerce platform: Tokengating enables merchants to offer NFT holders exclusive access to products and discounts. For example, a merchant can give customers who hold a Digital Collectible a 25%-off discount. Customers can unlock the discount by connecting their wallet to prove that they own the collectible.
Shopify: We have had some delays with Shopify Support in relation to getting the tokengating function approved. We have now had some guidance which the developers are working on.
WooCommerce: Due to the delays with Shopify we have started the Tokengating development work for WooCommerce, which offers a lot more flexibility and less restrictions compared with Shopify. The development work for this is due to be completed imminently.
We have decided to change the newsletter frequency from quarterly to monthly so you can expect your next update in October.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.
Kind regards
Adam
