These quests aim to support Team Vitality, whether at events or on social media, etc. Subsequently, this engagement allows them to climb the V.Hive ranking. Rewards include limited edition products, discounts, access to events and unique experiences with Team Vitality players.

Teaching and support at the heart of the system
Since announcing their partnership in January 2022, Team Vitality and Tezos have placed fan education at the heart of their strategy. In order to best support them in the Web3 universe, the launch of the V.Hive application took place in three distinct phases:
- Phase 1: V.Hive Pass launches in July 2022. Early adopters of the V.Hive program received a pass, which gradually transformed into a mysterious egg, before hatching into a bee avatar. These first 3,700 users will always be recognizable thanks to a tattoo on the neck of their bee 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 the colors of Team Vitality.
- Phase 3: Launch of the V.Hive application.
This partnership with Tezos, the world's most advanced and energy-efficient blockchain, aims to engage the esports and gaming communities with blockchain, as well as promote the development and use of more sustainable technologies.
On Thursday, November 17 at 6pm, Nicolas Maurer – CEO of Team Vitality will participate in a live from the Twitch Vitality TV channel to discuss with fans the launch of the application. On the program, the co-founder will demonstrate the application and its features to show the new features set up for fans: avatar, wearables, customization, quests, rewards… as well as other surprises!
“We are proud to finally launch our own V.Hive app! Our fans are digital natives and incredibly tech-savvy. So when we design V.Hive with Tezos, every feature we create has to bring real and unique value to them. Web3 and blockchain are going to play a huge 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 mobile fan engagement application come to life on Tezos! I am thrilled to be part of this collaboration that will strengthen the bond between Team Vitality and its fans. Finally, I am looking forward to seeing how Team Vitality will lead by example in engaging its fans in Web3.” said Jan Albers, Head of Gaming Partnerships at Tezos Foundation
