On March 1st, 2018, Wowoo announced their public token sale, which will take place on March 12, 2018. Wowoo seeks to be a platform that creates value for the creation and distribution of meaningful content. The Singapore-based service-content platform aims to provide a question and answer (Q&A) virtual ecosystem that will incentivize users to provide sincere responses to other user inquiries.

About Wowoo

In the Wowoo ecosystem, the “Wower” (Wer) is an individual who provides content or answers, whereas a “Wowee” (Wee) is a user who receives a product, service, or requested information through the platform. Wowoo will use WowBit (WWB) NEP-5 tokens to pay users who have provided relevant subject matter.

Wowoo originally planned to launch on the Ethereum blockchain, but opted to migrate to the NEO blockchain for a variety of factors. Some of Wowoo’s reason for selecting NEO include; the Smart Economy’s ability to implement digital identity, its potential for high transaction speeds, and level of liquidity.

The Wowoo Council has a variety of individuals with diverse backgrounds who are advising and guiding the platform’s development. Council members include Kaneto Kanemoto, CEO and Founder of OKWAVE; Gen Matsuda, CEO and Founder of AsZ Holdings; Hiro Rokugawa, Attorney/Managing Partner at Ogasawara, Konno, and Rokugawa Law Firm; Roger Ver, CEO of Bitcoin.com; and, Da Hongfei, CEO of Onchain, and Founder of NEO.
