<html> <h2>Kuende - Project Introduction</h2> <p>The human society is a unique, complex and constantly evolving one. Over the course of our history, there has been existence many societies, which at a point in time ran into over a million separate societies. Over the centuries societal evolution has continuously taken place with many major changes happening over time.</p> <p>Starting from the mid-1990s and gaining massive explosion in usage and commercialization in the 21st century. The social media, a virtual community, and a network of people or groups of people connected by interactive computer-based applications for sharing of information, interests, ideas as well as instant communications, is a reality of the present human society.</p> <p>The social media and the thousands of the numerous social networks existing today have been created to aid instant human interactions and communications removing the restrictions of geographical locations and physical locations. The social media is meant to bring us closer, anywhere we may be.</p> <p>The social media is awesome, but our over dependency and addiction to social media has started to cause some problems for us offline, people are starting to prefer staying glued to their devices rather than engage in actual physical human interactions. This, as a result, causes a lot of other problems. In this article, I will be discussing these problems and then introducing a decentralized network which has been created with innovative concepts to provide solutions to these problems. </p> <p>This new decentralized platform is called KUENDE.</p> <p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRJm1FWZaijZKgG5JWAp7DRe83cTk2ccnzJxHGQSPTBSY/kuende-696x449.jpg</p> <h2>What is KUENDE?</h2> <p>Kuende is a decentralized social network that encourages real-life human interactions through the use of special gamified challenges. The vision of the Kuende project is to create a world in which the social media not only create online interaction and engagements but also helps the mental well being of people by also creating corresponding real-world interactions.</p> <h2>Kuende Is Different From Other Social Networks</h2> <p>Kuende is not the average social network, as the social networks present in our world today are focused on attaining the highest online interactions as possible, in other words, social networks are designed to be so exciting and captivating that people spend there as much time as they can.</p> <p>Why is this? The longer a person spends online, the more patterns about their interests, behaviors and other data are formed. These data are very valuable to social networks to use in advertisement targeting. Advertising is a major source of income for social networks and a lot of businesses rely on them to reach to their customers. Which is why a lot of social networks are constantly improving, upgrading and expanding their networks to be more appealing to their users, thus making them spend more time online.</p> <p>While this is good for business, according to the project whitepaper, studies have shown to different lengths the negative effects of social media on the lives of people.</p> <p>For example; A study of 1787 people between the ages of 19 and 32, by The American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found out that people that spend most times on social media are twice as likely to feel socially isolated.</p> <p>Source: Whitepaper</p> <p>This among many other studies, some of which are stated in the project whitepaper have revealed that, while social media connects us like never before, it is more likely to cause some psychological or emotional problems.</p> <p>Kuende as a platform is more focused on bringing back the values real-life social interactions between people, groups of people and businesses. Kuende proposes a system that balances both online and real-life interactions. In order to achieve this, kuende uses the concept of gamified challenges powered by the blockchain technology to encourage progressive and socially engaged communities.</p> <h2>How Is Kuende Changing The World (How it works)</h2> <p><div class="pull-right">https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeHrUNgNFUpGrzc4VFsJf6EtJrZ6jpFqg2gDxdWhCA9a2/kuende%20eco.PNG</div></p> <p>The Kuende ecosystem is a simple one consisting of users, influencers, businesses and the Kuende platform itself. The Kuende platform is built on the blockchain, with gamified challenges acting as the solid foundation.</p> <p>The gamified challenges is a way of connecting people with similar interests together, make them meet in a physical location and engage in fun, productive, relaxing, exciting, intellectual or any type of interactions they seek. With which they get rewarded for with "Kuende points" (Kp).</p> <h3>Interest Categories For The Actors In The Kuende Ecosystem</h3> <ol> <li>Social</li> <li>Entertainment</li> <li>Personal Development</li> <li>Philanthropic</li> </ol> <p>Source: Whitepaper</p> <p>By using Kuende and engaging in interest-based gamified challenges; gamers can meet up with other gamers in a location to interact, having fun and playing games. Book lovers can have meetups where they share their interests discuss the latest and interesting books they have read. Lovers of different sports can meet up with each other organizing and engaging in competitions. People seeking normal social interactions can meet up for picnics, get together events and more. Families can meet with other families, and friends make more friends. </p> <p>Additionally, with Kuende, people, groups and influencers who are already seeking a unified voice online for challenges, causes, social movements/awareness for change or charity can now meet up in real life and back up their voices with real-life actions.</p> <p>Kuende is going to add a very important dimension to the way we interact in this generation.

The Kuende token is the token that will be generated during the project ICO for early adopters who are willing to support the project. This Kuende tokens will influence the amount of Kuende points a person can earn from participating in gamified challenges.</p> <h2>Token Use Cases</h2> <h3>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmacTrfCaTfwu5VrTKu7ptc6MwjhEbJQ3bmUEW9g3WNwaT/kuende%20token1.PNG</h3> <p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSzW7cXYEUrhusVsSkRtSf5GctnNqxDXBwwkwGMFKM1vp/kuende%20token2.PNG</p> <p>https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZjGFQMKYYG8jpQobc5t9guycWbspaLG4HAKdb9NCW6Av/kuende%20token3.PNG</p> <h2>ICO details</h2> <p>Ticker: KUE</p> <p>1 ETH: 50.000 KUE</p> <p>Soft Cap: $2.000.000 (4000 ETH)</p> <p>Hard Cap: $17.800.000 </p> <p>Total Token Supply: 3,560,000,000 KUE</p> <h2>Conclusion:</h2> <p>Kuende is a unique social network that values real-life human interactions as much as it does the online ones, and with its unique concept of gamified challenges, kuende helps people in the community overcome some emotional and psychological challenges that result from addiction to online social media interactions.</p> <p>Kuende seamlessly connects people of similar interests as well as those who are willing to try something new or adventurous outside their comfort zone in a reward-based system that gives the users added monetary incentives to basically just having a good time.</p> <p>The blockchain and decentralization make this platform an ideal community-oriented platform that puts its community first and also protects their personal data. </p> <p>The Kuende team is a very well experienced one as well with team members who are past employees of twitter and google and also advisors who have been involved in already successful blockchain projects.</p> <p>This project is an all-star in my opinion because it has a unique idea, a great concept, a well priced token economics, and an experienced team.</p> <h2>Disclaimer:</h2> <p>This article on Kuende has been written for promotional purposes.
