The challenge is that user data has been overused and abused for years now. When customers download an app or sign onto a wellness platform, they expect that their data will help inform the solution to improve their health and fitness goals — not be sold off to the highest bidder. Especially not mismanaged, leaked or held onto once a user decides to go elsewhere.

This is the Web2 model. Data is the asset. It helps the health and fitness companies to build their product, and it becomes the commodity that (in some cases) those same companies sell to advertisers.

If you don’t want ads, you pay for the service. But even those who pay for the service have their data captured and traditionally have a hard time getting it back or having it deleted if they stop using it.

Data Management in Web3

When we talk about Web3, the biggest benefit that is touted is decentralisation. Distributing the data across a network makes it much harder for a single entity to monopolise, misuse or lose track of it. If one node goes down, the others can keep the network running.

A decentralised network means the data is stored on the user’s device. When a user decides to leave one platform for another, their data goes with them. They don’t need to start from scratch or worry about what happened to all those years of data that was captured on the old platform.

In a Web3 world, data is portable. It’s also private — by default. The user has complete control over who they share their data with and how it’s used. If they don’t want their data shared with a third party, they can choose not to share it. Essentially, Web3 protocols let users control their own data and identity.

Web3 Data Management Applied to Health and Fitness

Back to the wellness industry. That sector relies heavily on user data to create its services. In a Web3 data management approach, the data still exists and is used to create products. But it’s the user who decides how their data is used, not the platform.

The user could share their data with a specific platform to get personalised coaching or product recommendations. They could also choose to sell their data — and only their data — for example, to a research company that’s working on a new fitness app or performing a study for a certain demographic. The company gets the insights, but the user remains in control of their data and is rewarded for sharing it.

Essentially, in Web3 data management, the intermediary — the platforms — will no longer be in control of the data they use. They have to request access from the owner (the user), they can be denied, and they have no hold on it long-term or after a user decides to part ways.

It may sound like a raw deal to companies used to controlling data, but there are actually huge benefits to this new way of working. In a world where data is portable and private, platforms will have to focus on creating the best possible product — not just the one that’s able to collect and sell the most useful data.

This is a big win for users and for the health and fitness industry as a whole.

How does this fit into the existing PUML ecosystem?

Most people are familiar with the PUML app. This revolutionary move-to-earn platform rewards and engages users through gamification technology and social features that incentivise better health and well-being.

In the PUML app, the user rewards come in the form of PUML tokens. These tokens can then be exchanged for real-value items, from gift cards to NFTs. They can also be donated to a number of different charities.

PUML Tokens vs PUMLx Tokens

While PUML tokens are blockchain built and operate on MoveFi principles, they are in-app-only and operate more like Web2 game tokens. They bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, making it easier for novice Web3 participants to engage with the PUML app.

PUMLx, on the other hand, is a Web3 cryptocurrency asset. It is built on the Ethereum platform, and unlike PUML tokens, it’s compatible with third-party wallets, exchanges, listings, and other Web3 systems. This gives PUMLx tokens superpowers that are not useable through the in-app-only PUML tokens.

PUMLx Utilities

PUMLx is PUML’s DeFi (decentralised finance) coin that will have wide utility both in an outside of the PUML ecosystem. It can be used to buy Athlete NFTs and other assets, be staked for yields, be swapped for other assets, and be used in market trading.

Essentially, PUMLx can do everything a normal crypto asset can:

• Staking — Staked on the PUML App and allow an estimated 250% APR year one;
• Trading Fees — Trading fees collected by the protocol are distributed to PUMLx stakers as rewards from our NFT Athlete and Sports Marketplace.

In the PUML ecosystem, PUMLx acts as a way for investors to purchase PUML’s Athlete NFTs and digital wearables with their own wearable NFT utilities.

PUMLx is currently listed on a number of exchanges. Visit https://pumlx.com/#Listed for more information.

Introducing WearX

PUML’s Genesis WearX Collection features 5000 NFTs that are hand drawn and algorithmically generated by the in-house NFT studio at PUML. The NFTs come in more than 600 different trait designs, colourations and variations, such as watch bands, backgrounds, faces, accessories and models.

Like PUMLx, the WearX NFTs are developed and distributed on the Ethereum blockchain. They are digital wearables with real gameplay in the PUML app and DeFi ecosystem. They each feature three primary utilities:

1. Battery — encouraging users to claim their PUMLx bonuses, the battery displays how often a user will have to charge the battery to continue claiming the activity bonuses.
2. Damage Resistance — to keep users active, the watch becomes unusable when the lifespan of the watch reaches 0. This begins on the first claim day.
3. Distance — steps can be claimed on the watch but NFTs range in rarity and impact how many steps. The rarer the NFT, the more steps can be claimed.

More info will be available soon on WearX and its use in the PUML App.

Earning PUMLx

While the move to Web3 marks a massive shift in PUML’s capabilities and features, the experience for users remains the same: move to earn. And existing holders of the PUML token can now Burn PUML to PUMLx and enter into the Web3 MoveFi world.

Simply download the PUML app, register and participate in physical and wellness challenges, collect PUML tokens and convert them in the app to PUMLx.

Whether you’re participating with PUML or PUMLx, you can use the tokens in the same way in-app. What changes is the access to Web3 utilities. Those who want to use PUMLx like a crypto asset can do so, and those who wish to use the tokens as they have before can do that too.

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.

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/

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)
