It is always interesting to tell the historical facts, because without the feats of the Cro-Magnon man, more than 20,000 years ago, we would not be here today.

It is through more than 20,000 years of history, inventions and technological discoveries, that we live in a Hyper-connected world, where everything is within our reach

Since March 2019, as soon as Rapids Network integrated its TipBots on social networks such as :

​Telegram

Twitter

Discord

Twitch

This is a new step in modern history

Through TipBots, users can share Rapids (RPD) almost instantly, with friends, family, they can buy items on the net, and in the future new possibilities will be offered to users

Merchants can also take advantage of this growth, by accepting payments in $RPD, on their online store, but also for transactions via social networks

In the coming weeks, Rapids Network will announce the launch of its Mobile Wallet, and many other features that will continue to make your life easier

It is extremely easy to get Rapids (RPD), either through exchanges (Crex24, Boa Exchange, Graviex…), or via the TipBots on Telegram and Discord, or those on social networks

Then a multitude of things can allow you to use your $RPD, such as buying items online, setting up games with RPD rewards for your “friends” & “followers” on social networks, jackpot prizes! The possibilities are endless, only you will be able to impose the limits

So here is how Rapids will revolutionize Social Networks, by becoming your means of exchange, daily purchase and payment, on these platforms

Stay tuned for further informations

I remain at your disposal if you have any questions
