AppCoins News Update, or ANU for short, is a regular bi-weekly update by the AppCoins team. As usual, we are going to cover dev updates, market reports and team members. This week, we’ve focused on an AppCoins Wallet release, Unity integration support and changes in Proof-of-Attention (PoA) campaigns.

This week, the AppCoins team has worked on three different features:

AppCoins Wallet release

For the past few weeks, we’ve been working on the AppCoins Referral Program, which allows users to earn AppCoins Credits by inviting their friends to join the AppCoins ecosystem.

In the last ANU, we announced our closed beta that featured the AppCoins Referral Program. Now we are happy to announce that we finally released the final version!

Follow the steps described here to start earning AppCoins Credits!

Unity integration support

Our Unity partnership is very important to us, as it allows Unity developers to integrate AppCoins solutions to their apps — without any effort. We’ve been working together with Unity to bring the most recent features of the AppCoins ecosystem to their integration. This is an ongoing project that we continue to work on.

PoA changes

If you’re familiar with the AppCoins ecosystem, you’ve probably already heard about our Proof-of-Attention (PoA) campaign; which entails giving an app two minutes of attention in exchange for a reward. This is how developers can acquire users using AppCoins. For developers to make the most out of this feature, we will limit the number of times per day that a user can benefit from PoA.

In the future, each user will only be allowed to benefit from PoA three times a day. With this limitation, we believe users will think more about what are the apps they want to try out instead of just installing them all. This is good news for developers as it means that the users they’re paying for will now choose their app based on their likes and interests.

Following last month’s protocol KPIs performance, on this ANU we have collected the values from September, regarding both flows using AppCoins, IAP and User Acquisition, the number of apps downloaded with the integration of AppCoins, as well as indicators from the SDK, as the table shows below.
