Education and guidance at the heart of the program
Since announcing their partnership in January 2022, Team Vitality and Tezos have placed fan education at the heart of their strategy. To best support them in the Web3 universe, the launch of the V.Hive app took place in three distinct phases:
- Phase 1: launch of the V.Hive Pass in July 2022. The “early adopters” of the V.Hive program received a pass, which gradually turned into a mysterious egg before hatching into a bee-shaped avatar. These first 3,700 users will always be recognizable by a tattoo on the neck of their bee-shaped avatar.
- Phase 2: launch of wearables on the V.Hive program in October 2022. Thanks to these new digital products, it is possible to customize your avatar in Team Vitality colors.
- Phase 3: launch of the V.Hive app.
This partnership with Tezos, the most advanced and energy-efficient blockchain in the world, aims to involve the esports and gaming communities with blockchain, as well as promote the development and use of more sustainable technologies.
On Thursday, November 17 at 6 p.m., Nicolas Maurer – CEO of Team Vitality will participate in a live stream on the Vitality TV Twitch channel to discuss the app launch with fans. As part of the program, the co-founder will demonstrate the app and its features to showcase the new features created for fans: avatar, wearables, customization, quests, rewards… and other surprises!
“We are proud to finally launch our own V.Hive app! Our fans are digital natives and incredibly discerning when it comes to new technologies. Therefore, when we design V.Hive with Tezos, every feature we create must bring them real and exclusive value. Web3 and blockchain will play an important role in the future of the esports and gaming industry. As a club, this will allow us to work even more closely with our fan community.” said Nicolas Maurer, CEO of Team Vitality
“After working hand in hand with Team Vitality on the V.Hive project, we are proud to see the first fan engagement mobile app come to life on Tezos! I am delighted to be part of this collaboration, which will strengthen the bonds between Team Vitality and its fans. Finally, I can’t wait to see how Team Vitality will lead by example in engaging its fans in Web3.” said Jan Albers, Head of Gaming Partnerships at Tezos Foundation
