1. Introduce yourself and the history of Mr. James.
Hello everyone, I’m James, CEO & Co-founder of WIRTUAL.
We started the WIRTUAL app back in 2019 and it’s been about 3 years now.
Personally, he entered the tech world in 2015.
After that, W JAMES VENTURES was created as the parent company of WIRTUAL in 2017.
And until now the company has about 50+ people.
2. Why did you start creating the WIRTUAL app? What inspired you or what did James see that sparked the creation of this fitness app?
Going back to the beginning of 2019, the main starting point back then came from 2 simple things.
The first one is that when we begin to enter the working age. We rarely exercise even though I myself was an athlete in the past. But when I work, I don’t do anything other than work. So it’s our question of how to get back to exercising and getting a job. Therefore, this problem is for the youngsters who come to Intern at the company.
The second reason is to push the Internship project in the company to become a serious project. To show that we are very serious about Intern at the company, which the problem at that time We have seen that there are quite a number of providers hosting Virtual Run races. But none of them are Virtual Runs that use serious technology at all. So I brought this part to develop until it was released as an experiment. and then have people try it for real to collect feedback to develop further, release version 1.0 and collect feedback, keep improving one of the key feedback is that we see that every time there is an award People will exercise more, so we use blockchain technology to develop connections. Until the current version as you can see
3. There are a lot of moves to earn in the market. What makes WIRTUAL different and what it stands for long term?
The first thing is the model. It must be said that when we started to think of the model Back then, around mid 2021, it didn’t have any competitors, or Move to earn, at all. As we studied models from DeFi, GameFi, we saw a lot of scary things, like Ponzi Ponzi schemes that were the first investment. heavy Crazy Massive Rewards and the matter of focusing on calculating the winnings so much that you forget about the fun of being a game We therefore came up with a model that emphasizes long-term sustainability. through a single coin that indicates the value of the business It’s like buying stocks and letting people enjoy exercising while earning money without focusing on the calculations. And of course, what is designed for the long term? It might not be as flashy in the short term as seen in our competitors. which is what we have to exchange for better long-term growth
The second is Business Partner, cooperating with global companies. from leading sports brands like Under Armor, tech brands like Garmin and Huawei, as well as world-class events Creamfield, aiming to make real money based on real business. Because before we can deal with each brand is not easy at all.
Must have been working for a long time in this area. and have a clear common goal to grow together in the long term
the third is speed of development We really work hard every day. There are changes all the time. to keep creating better things And assure everyone that we are serious about this to aim to be the number 1 in X to earn app.
4. I would like to know what WIRTUAL’s goals are in the near future.
In this short picture, we focus on the use cases of coins in the business world. Whether using coins to redeem vouchers made with various brands Or use it in our e-Commerce to redeem real products to be delivered to your home. And another thing is to develop the app to be Social Media to bring together people who love to take care of health and exercise together. This quarter will see the talks of the Commu. That doesn’t have to be in Telegram or Discot anymore. In summary, the short-term picture is to create product values as strong as possible. before the next bull market
5. What is the perspective of WIRTUAL’s business partner opportunity? What are the rules and regulations? For those who want to be interested in being a part or want to be a business partner with WIRTUAL.
WIRTUAL During this period, we mainly focus on the global market. Our way of holding hands during this period will focus on brands that can scale to different countries. Because they already have a support team or branch there. And we are the helpers that will make the business grow together faster. The importance of cooperation is that in the WIRTUAL corner, we view this cooperation as It must be beneficial to that brand as much as possible. We didn’t just hope to put their logo on it. But it’s a long-term partnership. We view the picture as a wedding. that, if we work together Let’s go together for a long time
6. I see WIRTUAL just released a new feature which is Auto-Track: Steps. I want to know how this one relates to Exercise to Earn which is a concept of WIRTUAL. And since it is Auto-Track: Steps, it will What does it have to do with the push for healthier exercise?
This feature is our intention to make the app easier to use.
Because normal competition mode requires a smartwatch to measure results in order to reduce cheating and a better experience in exercise. Because normal competition mode requires a smartwatch to measure results in order to reduce cheating and a better experience in exercise. Just press the WIRTUAL app every day, put your phone in your pocket and go for a walk. Everything will be very automatic when everyone can easily access it. The next step is just that How seriously do you want to take your health seriously?
7. If James is a user of WIRTUAL app, what part do you like the most in WIRTUAL app and what part do you want to improve?
The most favorite thing in the app for me right now is the competition submission system. that causes real income from exercise Because it’s a feature that completely changes the perspective of traditional fitness apps.
And it can be extended to a great distance.
The part that would like to improve is matter of use What we are currently adjusting is to make it easier to use at every point. because with a lot of features So it might be confusing. by all means now i think We have a good start And the team is ready to improve even better. I believe in the team very much.
8. What would you like to leave behind for this AMA?
Finally, I would like to conclude that We intend to develop WIRTUAL to the fullest to become a Thai company in the global technology market.
And our development is not just about crypto, nft or blockchain.
But it’s a use case that makes everyone who uses it. Both health, income and a new society of people who like the same way.
We want to turn the world into a sporting venue, just as Airbnb turns an empty room into a hotel.
This is our challenge to create a new form of sport. to compete wherever and whenever
So I would like to invite everyone to come together and try to play WIRTUAL.
Thank you BAD team for giving me the opportunity to share.
