M2E is one of the most interesting new technologies in the Web3 space. It helps promote a healthy lifestyle by offering people the chance to earn free cryptocurrency.

We here at PUML Better Health have been ambassadors for M2E in the wellness space since 2018, when Founder  Damien King first published a whitepaper on incentivizing healthy behavior and the importance of ownership of one’s own data.

Fast forward to 2022: From LVMH to Deloitte professional service networks, PUML Better Health has partnered with some of the biggest corporations in the world to help them better understand their employees’ health needs through a Web 3 approach. The next exciting step on the roadmap is the introduction of the new $PUMLx crypto token as part of our expansion plan into consumer health, sports and gaming.

PUMLx is leading the charge in the M2E space with the introduction of Live to Earn, the future of preventive health in which steps, meditation, sleep and living a healthy lifestyle all contribute to a better life.

Holders can use PUMLx for staking rewards, asset swapping, purchasing athlete NFTs and other unique utilities. PUMLx is also designed for users to buy PUML’s future in-game NFT named WearX, a wearable watch NFT that can be staked to multiply daily step claims and boost Move-to-Earn rewards.

PUMLx will ultimately help drive the growth and trajectory of the PUML ecosystem as it cements the credibility and integrity of the utility token and then transitions towards a governance token in the future.

Bybit Launchpad 2.0 is a freshly revamped platform connecting users with some of the most sought-after tokens in the space. Bybit users can commit BitDAO (BIT) to subscribe to token allocations or participate in Launchpad 2.0’s new lottery model, where users stake a nominal amount of Tether (USDT) for the chance to win allocations of new tokens. In addition, the best-performing tokens from previous listings are also available for purchase on the Launchpad.

Launchpad 2.0 is part of Bybit’s growth story as the platform recently reached 10 million users.

The team at PUML are proud to announce our official partnership with Polygon Studios. Polygon Studio’s investment in PUML is another exciting step forward in our roadmap towards our TGE later this year.

What is Polygon?

Polygon is a scaling solution that provides multiple tools to improve performance and reduce the costs and complexities of transactions on blockchains. At the heart of Polygon’s vision lies Ethereum, a platform that enables a wide variety of decentralized applications, from virtual worlds to games, art, and financial services. However, when there is too much transaction volume on its blockchain it becomes almost unusable, as transaction fees are astronomical when the chain becomes congested.

Enter Polygon. In a nutshell, Polygon bills itself as a layer-2 network, meaning it acts as an add-on layer to Ethereum that does not seek to change the original blockchain layer. Like its geometric namesake, Polygon has many sides, shapes, and uses and promises a simpler framework for building interconnected networks.

Polygon wants to help Ethereum expand in size, security, efficiency, and usefulness and seeks to spur developers to bring enticing products to market all the quicker. After the rebranding, Polygon retained its MATIC cryptocurrency, the digital coin underpinning the network. MATIC is used as the unit of payment and settlement between participants who interact within the network.

Polygon x PUML

The PUML app is designed to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3 with a unique combination of in-app PUML coin and crypto token $PUMLx. Both Move-to-earn and Move-to-Own models will be supported in PUML. Participants will be able to earn PUML coins, $PUMLx tokens as well as PUML Polygon NFTs by completing in-app challenges.

One of the OG Move to Earn games, PUML brings a unique reward system to people who are passionate about wellness! The challenges vary from step challenges and exercise challenges to maintaining healthy habits like meditation and hydration. There’s a challenge for everyone!

PUML is passionate about workplace wellness, so in addition to its consumer-facing app, PUML provides specialised programs which help employees stay engaged & healthy at work. Check out more about PUML Corporate here: https://puml.io/puml-for-corporates/

All set for a new type of fitness journey?

The post PUML Better Health Partners with Polygon Studios appeared first on PUML Better Health.

The origin story of PUML goes back to the early days of crypto. Founder Damien King saw a huge opportunity in the web three space to incentivize behaviour with crypto. The basic idea is that by doing something healthy, you get rewarded in crypto and NFT’s.

The first iteration was developed when he was living in London when he was in the process of building his first startup. He was working for Virgin at the time and he and a friend decided to build a company together, as a side hustle. Damien found himself coding late at night, after working all day, drinking too much Red Bull to keep going. After about 18 months of working super long hours, he found his health starting to suffer.

Burnout is a real issue in many industries. When you’re overwhelmed at work, other parts of your life can start to suffer. Damien realized he needed a little help to stay motivated on his health journey. Which is what inspired him to create PUML. Group challenges are a really exciting way to do that, especially group challenges. Because you’re together with a group of people, you’re more motivated to win something. At the core of PUML is the idea of community. When you’re doing something as a part of a group it’s more engaging than a sole endeavor.

Own Your Data

King first wrote the original white paper back in 2018, around not only the incentification of healthy behaviours, but also another important area, health data. Health data is one of our most important data elements, which at the moment, people may not care too much about. But in the future with things like the predictive diagnosis of lifestyle diseases and things like that, our data will become more and more valuable. So it’s important that we don’t just leave it to chance. We don’t allow large organisations and governments to control our own health data, but we own and control that data and we can potentially commercialise that data. So the original white paper was all about improving your health through incentification but also owning your own data.

One of the features that make PUML quite unique is they integrate wearable data. So first of all, data has to be filled from multiple data sources. So PUML has native integrations with Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Health, Samsung, and other wearable technologies. So the first piece of the puzzle is pulling that data in, clearing that data, and doing some anti-cheating mechanisms on that. And so a lot of that data is quite complex, there is a centralised system that basically purifies that data.

The next step is the gamification elements. So that’s where PUML helps to reward people when they complete those healthy challenges like meditating once a day or walking a certain amount of steps over a period of time. This is the point where PUML starts to integrate with the blockchain because you ultimately earn cryptocurrency for each challenge that you’re associated with. And so the interface, which is essentially a mobile app on iOS and Android and that has like a native crypto wallet, which at the moment, is EOS base but will be transitioning to EVM in the future.

Move to Earn

In 2019, PUML was in an accelerator with the University of Queensland and Hype Spin, which is a sports tech accelerator from Tel Aviv. And it was then that the concept of everyone should be paid to be healthy was solidified. That in an ideal world the user becomes like a professional athlete, where someone always pays you to be healthy. And PUML was the app to enable that for the masses.

Move to Earn apps are Web 3 Lifestyle Apps that combine crypto, social media and gaming features into one app. You can earn cryptocurrency by simply doing things such as walking, jogging, or running outside. These online games encourage their players to earn money by living a healthier lifestyle. When you add blockchain technology and crypto-assets as rewards into the mix, incentification increases even further. With blockchain technology, digital assets can be distributed directly to users instead of using things like vouchers or discounts. The combination has led to the emergence of the new term GameFi.

The move-to earn model takes the world of fitness trackers one step further by adding incentives for people to share their workouts, interact with others, and complete challenges. These addictive rewards such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs, are earned by achieving certain milestones and are the basis of the blockchains’ version of the move-to earn model. With Move to Earn you earn rewards for exercising, upgrading skills, and participating in fitness competitions. With the rise of online social networks and video games has come a huge increase in the number of individuals who are now going digital and are searching for digital fitness. The fitness industry is worth $100 billion and Move to Earn is poised to become the next big trend.

PUML + Ethereum

The original vision for PUML was to be a mass-market product, something that could bridge the gap between web 2 and web 3 users. At the time, and even still today, Ethereum was not a scalable platform. This is why PUML was originally built on EOS.

EOS uses a delegated proof of stake consensus mechanism as opposed to Ethereum’s Proof of Work. No one even knew what proof of stake was in 2018–2019 when PUML was founded. EOS was created by Dan Larimer, a very smart guy who was quite good friends with Vitalik, and he understood the issues the ETH was dealing with, with their scaling. At the time the EOS platform offered more opportunities that would allow PUML to build a mass market app, and that’s why PUML originally chose to go with EOS.

As the market continued to evolve and as Ethereum became more scaleable with the invention of layer 2 scaling solutions and the evolution of NFTs, it made sense to migrate over to an ERC20 EVM world where the biggest markets for NFTs were being built. PUML’s flagship Genisis Sports Athlete NFTs are built on Ethereum as the PUMLx token which is in the works.

Burning PUML(EOS) for PUMLx

As PUML will be delisted from all exchanges and lose all current in-app value, we wanted to ensure you weren’t missing out on any of your gains. We’re going to be providing a straightforward process for you to burn your PUML and receive PUMLx in a 2:1 exchange (2 PUML : 1 PUMLx). The process is explained below:

1. Acquire the PUML Burn address from this link; https://bloks.io/account/pumlburnburn
2. Prepare a transaction to send PUML token from your EOS wallet to the PUML Burn account
3. Add your Ethereum address in the memo. This step is crucial and you will not receive PUMLx without it
4. Send the transaction
5. We’ve created an example transaction which you can view below or at this link; https://bloks.io/transaction/5047c5392e32846559c16f7dedb14af18088b26d47df09a558b9d7b37df443f9

Burning your PUML for PUMLx is currently the only way you’ll be able to keep your value and we’ve ensured this is the easiest process possible. Should you have questions on the process, our team is always available to help in the official PUML Telegram.

In-App Wallet Integration

Due to delisting PUML off of EOS, the EOS wallet will be removed from the PUML app and replaced with Ethereum native wallets. This will include Metamask and wallet connect, to ensure any Ethereum compatible wallet can be connected to our app. Eventually as PUML begins to branch out, other chains will become available and wallets will connect seamlessly.

Future of PUML

As PUMLx aims to launch onto Ethereum in late this year, we look towards the future excitedly and seek to continue developing our world renowned health products/services. Delisting from EOS is not the end, but a new beginning for the PUML ecosystem and our beloved community. Over the coming months, PUML will pursue new goals including:

• PUMLx Token Generation Event
• PUMLx listings on multiple DEXs and key CEXs
• Increased releases of new challenges on the PUML app
• Minting/release of our flagship Athlete NFTs
• Minting/release of our Digital Wearables
• Increased in-game only PUML rewards (and ways to use it)

The post Interview Series: Sheree Beaumont appeared first on PUML Better Health.

This article is part of a series to give you an inside look at PUML. We are interviewing team members to learn about their journey in the fitness world and their take on what PUML is doing for the wellness community.

[tek_sectiontitle st_title=”Why were you interested in joining PUML?” st_title_tag=”h4″ st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_off” st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth”]

What interested me the most about PUML was the combination of technology and wellness. I studied computer science and like to see how people are using new technologies to create brand new products and solutions. Although I work on the marketing side of things, I enjoy being involved with a startup that is built on EOSIO (a blockchain technology). Working with brands who have passionate founders and who are bringing something new to the marketplace is always a great experience and I’ve found that to be true here at PUML.

[tek_sectiontitle st_title=”Is the health and wellness sphere something you have always been interested in?” st_title_tag=”h4″ st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_off” st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth”]

I have never worked in the industry, but have always lead a pretty active life. When I was younger we were always encouraged to run around and ride bikes outside, I was in dance in high school and when I got to university I tried rowing. Now I enjoy going on runs, hiking and taking yoga and fitness classes every once in a while. I really like using exercise to add variety to my daily life. I am happy I grew up being active and think that it’s important to re-incorporate that fun feeling we used to associate with being active as kids into our fitness routines now.

[tek_sectiontitle st_title=”How do you think the fitness industry could improve?” st_title_tag=”h4″ st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_off” st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth”]

I think one of the biggest ways the fitness industry could improve would be to be more inclusive. When we think of fitness, we associate it with images of a very specific type of person doing very specific, usually intense, types of activities. But in reality, fitness and wellness are for everyone – no matter what you look like or what activities you are into. In my opinion, fitness doesn’t mean going super hard at the gym or going on 15 km runs every week. Fitness could mean going on hikes. Or playing volleyball. Fitness should still be fun. I think the fitness industry will become more inclusive when we promote different fitness activities and get rid of this idea that it has to be a super intense or expensive hobby.

[tek_sectiontitle st_title=”What is PUML doing to improve the fitness and wellness industry?” st_title_tag=”h4″ st_subtitle_decoration=”” st_separator_enable=”separator_off” st_text_align=”text-left” st_width=”st_fullwidth”]

I think PUML is helping make fitness a fun thing by providing rewards and actual crypto-currency for competing in challenges. Like I said earlier, the more we can make fitness fun and approachable, the more people we will have taking care of themselves – which is a great thing! Soon PUML will be adding different types of challenges in addition to our step and distance challenges which I am excited for because then people who enjoy other types of activities can also compete!

Thanks for reading and check back in a few weeks for an interview with another member of the PUML team!
