At Hilo, we are hard-at-work developing a crypto social network. We want to make it easy to learn about cryptocurrencies, find the latest crypto news, and interact with key influencers. As a result, our mission — and our product — touch all different parts of the crypto world. That’s why we’re excited to officially announce The Hilo and Refereum Partnership!

Refereum is looking to solve affiliate and referral marketing. Utilizing the power of the blockchain, Refereum and the RFR token provide a seamless way to incentivize users to refer others. And, their company is fundamentally aligned with ours: They are using blockchain technology to empower users and communities around the world.

How We’ll Partner Together

Hilo’s website plans to become the “home page for cryptocurrencies”. We allow users to create crypto portfolios, follow the latest news, chat with key influencers, and follow upcoming ICOs. With the Refereum partnership, our site will also feature the Refereum Growth Engine widget.

Their Growth Engine widget provides a simple way for us to deploy microtasks to our users. In exchange for completing tasks, users will be compensated with HILO tokens. For example, community members can earn HILO by referring new users to the Hilo platform or sharing trending news on other social platforms.

Hilo and Refereum are both aligned in our missions. In addition to being in the blockchain space, both companies leverage the power of the crowd. As time goes on, we believe that users and community members will have more power and more autonomy.

“We are extremely pleased to announce our partnership with Hilo. Helping Hilo kickstart their community with the Growth Engine is step one. We look forward to helping them along their journey to building the social network for crypto enthusiasts,” said Refereum David Park. At its core, Refereum provides a way for communities to grow and thrive. Decentralized apps (dApps) and the crypto space are new markets, so any product that helps to further drive adoption is helpful to the crypto community as a whole.

Further, the Refereum Growth Engine provides a growth and monetization option that fundamentally aligns stakeholders. Let’s be clear: Hilo does not sell user data, which is a claim that very few consumer products can make. “We believe in a future where users have control over which platforms they use, but more importantly, their data and their privacy,” said Hilo founder Monica Puchner.

What Does This Mean For You?

Hilo is one step closer to its vision of being the one source for all things crypto related. In addition to having a platform that tracks crypto news, prices, and conversations, we are also providing a clear way for our users to earn HILO tokens.

By implementing the Growth Engine, the Hilo platform can provide a direct incentive to users who complete tasks, contribute to the community, and win competitions. Like our earlier announcement (partnering with Civic), we are continually looking for ways to create a better experience for our users.

In the future, be on the lookout for other announcements from Hilo as we look to bring crypto to the masses. As always, we appreciate feedback from our awesome community.
