After stopping the mining of the internal currency of the social network VKontakte, the second stage of the VK Coin service implementation started. Now, users are offered to directly exchange koinami and spend them on shares from partners, as well as to fight for the status of the richest players and communities, putting them on a kind of honor roll, the press service of the social network reports.
“The new format is a logical step in the development of the application. Now we want to allow players to independently determine the value of virtual currency , ”commented the manager of the VK Coin project Ivan Gusev.
In addition, it is expected that transfers with virtual currency on VKontakte will begin to support external projects, and the open API will allow integrating payments via VK Coin into third-party applications or websites. It is also planned to expand the list of promotions and offers from partners in the project store.
According to VKontakte, about 5 million unique users log on to VK Coin daily, and the maximum number of online players exceeds 1.1 million. The total amount of players' savings exceeds 2.8 trillion VK Coin, and the richest player earned over 47 billion coins. According to the information of the Delivery Club company, residents of more than 60 cities of Russia used to order food, and the total amount of their purchases is measured in several million rubles.
Recall that the launch of the VK Coin service took place on April 1 . The fact that VKontakte is considering creating its own cryptocurrency, it became known a few days before. According to Andrei Rogozov, the general director of VKontakte, 10 days after the launch of VK Coin, the project’s audience reached 10 million.
