Introduction Questions Asked By Team BlockTalks!
Q1. Could you please introduce Dose Token to our community in layman’s term & why it’s better?
Ans — $DOSE is an ERC-20 token which is the main utility token in our fitness metaverse.
Players can earn DOSE tokens for completing workout based games in 22 Pushups, KARA Smart Fitness and Dustland Runner. These tokens can be used to unlock items, purchase NFTs and participate in special events and game modes.
Here are some of the ways to use $DOSE:
NFT Sales: DOSE can be used to purchase official Dustland Runner NFTs directly from the game, or potentially via a secondary Marketplace, which would be revealed in due course. NFTs will be sold individually and via packs and will range from avatars to cosmetics, vehicles and virtual land. Note: There is no overlap between NFTs dropped through play and NFTs available for purchase directly from the game.
Entry Fees & Limited Time Events: While the core experience of Dustland Runner is free, DOSE is used as an entry fee to special game modes and limited time events including Virtual Races and PvP battles. A portion of the gameplay fees collected will be granted to participating players as a reward for their participation and performance.
Upgrades & Unlocks: As players progress in the game, they can spend DOSE tokens to unlock more options and utility in the game. This includes expanding the number of slots in their NFT loadouts as well as evolving some NFTs past their leveling cap (e.g. vehicles).
Seasonal Battlepass Subscription: Players can optionally purchase access to a seasonal Battlepass, giving them access to time-limited narrative missions as well as a tiered reward system to unlock limited edition NFTs.

Q2. What are the advantages of DOSE Token to the other alternatives in the Blockchain field?
Ans — As you may know, there is no fitness metaterverse out there yet. So we are the leaders in this metaverse. The gameplay under our fitness empire is also backed by working products such as KARA Smart Fitness and Zombies, Run! and they are all well-known health and fitness apps that provide experience about fitness behind our project. Most importantly, OliveX (BVI) is a spin-off company of Animoca Brands and we got a list of investors from there so we can potentially work with their blockchain projects.
Q3. What are the major milestones DOSE Token achieved so far & what are in the future pipeline?
Ans — We also have partnered with lots of renowned brands and celebrities. For instance, we have partnerships with world leading brands in Les Mills, Anytime Fitness, Gym Aesthetics and Gold’s gym through our gym management solution. On our KARA Smart fitness product we have partnered with celebrity coaches such as Coffee Lam and Nike master trainer Utah Lee.
OliveX has over 50 investors and partners, including with sports associations, brands, and other players in the crypto space. More on that will come in an official announcement from the team in the future.
We will focus on developing our new gameplay — Dustland Runner, which is designed on top of the game engine of Zombies, Run!. It’s a health and fitness blockchain game that encourages and motivates people to get rewards while running. First of all, Dustland Runner has a lot of deep gameplay coming soon, which is designed by our award-winning game designer. Secondly, we aim to have multiple fitness games that are interruptible to create this fitness metaverse.
Questions Asked on Twitter For DOSE Token Team!
Q1. Currently, DOSE functions as the currency of the Dustland Runner , KARA Smart Fitness and 22 Pushups games. Do you expect in the future that your token can continue to expand to serve as currency in other gaming platforms?
Ans — Of course! 22 Pushups, KARA Smart Fitness, and Zombies, Run! (STS) are part of the OliveX Holdings Enterprise. The ethos being that users of the platforms are motivated to be more active. $DOSE is intended to be leveraged as a cross-title utility within the OliveX (BVI) ecosystem, and has been designed to be the driving force behind the Run-for-Reward, Sweat-to-Win model in OliveX (BVI) product universe, such as KARA Smart Fitness, 22 PushUps and upcoming Dustland Runner (built on the success of Zombies, Run!). Zombies, Run! is already a proven success with thousands of downloads and reviews from active users.

Q2. The presence of non-crypto users is crucial to mainstream adoption. What are your plans to attract non-crypto users to your project? Any upcoming collaborations that will include non-crypto users?What are the killer features of this project that set it apart from its competitors?
Ans — Keith Rumjahn, [11-Oct-2021 at 4:43:34 PM]:
Great question. One of the unique things about us is that we believe we can bring in non crypto users into this game. Zombies run is actually for the 95% of people who are not super fit. If you are super fit then you will use other running apps. And like I said earlier, we are experts at mobile game publishing. We have a playbook to localise to non English countries too.
We are focused on making our running games Dustland runner 🏃♀️ amazing. It’s based on zombies run but we will add a lot more deeper game play to it. We think that for the economy to succeed, we need deeper game play and also multiple ways to play. That’s why our Ubisoft game designer who designer rainbow six and far cry helped design some amazing game play within our game.
Q3. Many people have tried to gamify fitness,but it is very difficult,there is still no metaterverse of fitness. So they are leaders in this metaverse.What is the competitive advantage of the platform?What characteristics will allow it to be a solid platform that will last over time?

Q5. Through which major partnerships do you plan to use to spread your product to normal, especially non-crypto people? What is the most ambitious goal of your project? What is the final vision of the DOSE project?
Ans — Our vision is to create a fitness metaverse where players can work out in the gym, at home or outdoors and then use their hard earned NFT’s across multiple fitness games. DOSE will become the main utility token across all fitness games.
We are at the intersection of fitness gaming and blockchain, and we are the NO.1 gamified fitness app in Zombies, Run!. We understand how to gamify fitness with a proven engine in Zombies, Run!, that many people have tried and it has over 300K monthly active users. We’re also one of the few fitness games that has gameplay that people play for years.
Health is wealth. It will be amazing if we can encourage people to exercise more and improve their fitness while getting rewarded with tokens, in other words, sweat -for-rewards!
We wanna be the number 1 brand for creating the fitness met, and fit meta company in the world.
Q6. Can you briefly describe your PARTNERSHIP so far and upcoming partnerships?
Ans — Great question. We have a long history of making gamified apps and we have partnerships with the Google play store and Apple App Store. In the past, we have over 5M downloads mainly from Southeast Asia for our apps. We have a playbook to get adoption in asia and one of the key things is localisation, which we are already doing and have experience doing so.
One of the key things is that we already have an existing game engine that works really well in zombies run. We expect to add blockchain and a new storyline to it very soon. Long term, we can partner with other games and because we have close ties with animoca brands. We have an advantage to have our NFT’s also appear in their games such as sandbox, Rev racing , etc
There’s a lot I would love to share but because we’re a public company, I can’t expose too much. All I can say is that we have some cool IP’s, strategic investors and also marketing partnerships.
Q7.Can you explain a little bit more about DOSE , what critical problems it solves that the existing solutions don’t solve and what are its competitive advantages?
Ans — Since we are the first fitness metaverse, it will take time for people to get familiar with this concept. But, given the amount of value that we can potentially deliver, we are confident in building the bridge to link up the two groups of people!
Sweat-to-win and Run-for-Reward is the model behind our blockchain games, this is a brand new concept of connecting the real world fitness to the materverse, so that means players need to physically work out to get rewards. Also, the foundation of our upcoming gameplay is based on the game engine and technology of Zombies, Run! which has over 300,000 monthly active users and 50,000 paying subscribers. We have an existing game engine that people love to play.
Q8. The COVID-19 outbreak has affected every business in the world. Is your project affected by this ? Is it in a better way or a bad way?
Ans — Covid 19 has helped us positively. We saw a significant increase in downloads for zombies run and running in general is one of the fastest growing segments in fitness post covid. We also saw huge increase in sales for our Kara product and across the board, connected fitness is taking off. The world is moving to a new hybrid normal. People will combine their physical gym membership with a digital fitness membership, which we are in prime position to take advantage of.
Q9. Do you have Whitepaper if yes, please share it with as secondly do you have plans for pre-sale? Now where can we Join it?
