UnikoinGold in 2018 so Far
Because our community is global, a high priority for UnikoinGold has been global accessibility. We successfully increased the availability of UnikoinGold across Asia by
listing on OKex and reached out to South Korean users with a
listing on UPbit, the largest exchange in South Korea. After all, South Korea is home to the sixth largest gaming market on Earth.
We invited the biggest names at CES to the
Unikrn house officefor a party and networking session to help introduce the mainstream to UKG's potential. Journalists, tastemakers, business giants and even lFoyd Mayweather stopped by.
In January, we welcomed the first of our merchant partners, Gunnar Optiks, one of the world's earliest esports sponsors. They began integrating Unikrn Wallet to accept UKG as payment worldwide, with Scott Sorensen, GUNNAR President,
saying:
This partnership with Unikrn marks a new era in ecommerce, technology, and gaming for GUNNAR. We have supported gaming and esports for a decade now, and this partnership will allow us to elevate our support to the next level. We are very excited to partner with visionaries such as the UNIKRN team because both of our brands share a passion for making your gaming experience extraordinary.
By January's end, MainGear PCs became the second in a groundbreaking
agreement to accept UKG for their entire line of systems as well as an upcoming line of luxury crypto-mining rigs which will allow owners to mine crypto for UnikoinGold and other unique gaming benefits.
We ended the month as the only crypto broadcasters to partner with
Dash Radio. Even the first episodes are must-listen for crypto enthusiasts, with Unikrn CEO Rahul Sood interviewing
Bittrex CEO’s Bill Shihara,
BoostVC CEO Adam Draper and many others (you can find a backlog on our
Soundcloud page).
Product updates continued to flow in:
- At the end of January, our Woocommerce plugin for Unikrn Wallet began allowing online retailers to integrate Unikrn in their online stores.
- Andrew Vouris, a leviathan of the betting industry, joined as our COO. He is the former deputy COO at TabCorp and played a substantial role in helping Tabcorp become a $13 billion-dollar company.
February was a month we at Unikrn spent refining and solidifying the standing of UnikoinGold. We listed Unikrn on the DDEX.io exchange and Rahul spoke at the Start Up Grind fireside chat with Jan Smejkal.
