BeeChat, the world’s foremost QTUM-based messenger and cryptocurrency community, updated its app this week with more integration features to foster the development of its open standards blockchain ecosystem.

With the new release, the number of activated users on the platform quickly grew to reach 2 million users only months after initial launch. On top of the core features, the new version will provide more integrated services for users and developers to contribute to and benefit from the open community.

BeeChat Communities

BeeChat Communities is a service that provides a platform for socialization, discussion, and exchange amongst users. Users can join and participate in communities about cryptocurrencies, altcoins, currency-mining, blockchain, smart contracts and a host of other topics they are interested in or want to learn more about. The community dynamic on BeeChat is very diverse and made up of enthusiasts, followers, experts, investors, blockchain engineers and people with various backgrounds and expertise.

Aside from user to user and group interactions, BeeChat is also a portal for coin developers and issuers to interact with their followers, investors, and supporters. Official developer sub-communities can release announcements, updates to their project or interact with their followers in real-time to answer questions about project developments.

At the moment, BeeChat communities support group chat size of ups to 30,000 users and has enlisted HSR, QTUM, INK, BOT (Bodhi), ENT, HPY, BigONE and other blockchain based projects to create and administer communities on the BeeChat platform.

Personal Media Platform

Aside from crypto development teams and issuers, BeeChat has also enlisted key opinion leaders (KOL) and influencers to share opinions, published content, and analysis on their personal media outlet built within the app. According to inside sources, BeeChat is also exploring monetization streams with this service for KOLs and content creators, one form of monetization is for users to donate or reward creators for generating insightful content, and a second possibility is for creators to charge directly for access to content.

Gaming Platform

Earlier this year, BeeChat introduced the blockchain based game CryptoPuppies, a fun and interactive game for users to collect, adopt, breed, and trade virtual puppies over a blockchain network via smart contract. CryptoPuppies aims to familiarize new users to the workings of blockchain and smart contract transactions by gamifying the experience. As the head of BeeChat business development, Christina reveals, “With the success of CryptoPuppies, BeeChat looks to unveil more blockchain based games in the future, and we are already in talks with many gaming developers discuss possible partnerships.”

4. BeeChat CryptoCredit: Utilizing cloud computing, big data and blockchain technologies, BeeChat will build a credit reporting system for users and user transactions in the network.

Developer Platform

QTUM, HCASH, and BeeChat will jointly develop a developer platform to be released in the coming months to provide a wide range of services such as third-party developer tools, data tracking and analytics, automated testing and debugging services, and startup services, enabling more developers to join the BeeChat ecosystem.
