All blockchain based fictions in the app are automatic, including - wallet creation, daily earnings, reward distribution, payment for various services, data storage etc. the user does not need to do anything manually & there is very little/almost no knowledge needed on any aspect in Blockchain for all global users. The platform is built for the average joe, for users who are not familiar with blockchain technology or have never heard of crypto.

COMPARISON WITH COMPETITORS

Bolttcoin does have some crypto based competitors namely Lympo and Sweatcoin. Swatcoin had the first movers advantage in this category and it shows because they currently have more than 10 million app installs in the Google Play store alone with Lympo having more than 100 thousand app installs in the plays tore too. BolltCoin App currently has just more than 10 thousand app installs in the play store which makes sense as they came later than the previous two. What sets Bolttcoin apart from its competitors is that its business model is based on its token's value growth as well as the cash flow generated from platform operations.

  • The Boltt ecosystem has multiple revenue streams from different participants some of which are
  • Monthly subscriptions on Boltt health reward engine
  • Maintenance fees on social challenges & gamification
  • Commission fees on m-commerce transactions
  • Advertisement Revenue
    For more details on their revenue model, read the article they published on it and page 70 of their whitepaper/

Boltt is also based out of India - world’s second most populated country & the 3rd largest economy, with a booming consutption story. An app that gives free money for walking has an immense potential to become viral there compared to swearcoin which is based out of the UK.

FINAL THOUGHTS

  • Boltt(the company) already has a large active user base and if they can manage to trasnfer said users to Blottcoin, it would translate to instant implementation, adoption and success of their token. Tracking health and fitness via wearables and mobile apps is a business model in which Boltt has already found success in and should improve upon with BolttCoin.

  • BolttCoin has tied up with several large and well-known partners that should jelp bring users and customers to the platform.

  • Boltt will be bundling the Boltt Coin App Subscription with the Boltt Wearables, so the customer acquisition cost for the App, will be minimal,compared to its competitor Sweatcoin with its App only model.

  • Though major fitness companies like Fitbit are currently not using blockchain, there is no guarantee they won't be using / implementing blockchain tech into their products in the future and thus competing directly with BolttCoin.

  • They have hit their softcap already which means the project will go ahead developing the products further and wont be shutting down.

  • Every SmartPhone owner & Wearables owner are potential BolttCoin Consumers.
