What Has Kizzy Shipped So Far?
Read our announcements channel in our Discord to see everything ship. But here’s a quick re-cap for those who are new.
- On December 15, we launched the world’s first licensed and regulated social media betting platform. This was the product of over a year of exhaustive legal work and intense software auditing to build a battle-tested, scalable platform with serious security, player protections, and activity tracking in place.
- On January 6, we pushed an MVP liquidity provisioning mission and referral mission, along with a number of bug fixes.
- On January 12, we conducted a massive Monad-partnered rewards campaign to heavily bonus our first month of users. There’s a lot more to say about that, and I’ll cover it in a future section.
- On January 28, we shipped our first new game mode, which allowed users to bet on the timestamp of a post, and we also unlocked the platform with adjusted legal learnings to support 80+ new countries.
- On February 4, we shipped a structural change to support 2x faster settlement across all existing game modes.
- On February 13, we launched a new community program to run ongoing jackpots in Discord, and also began stealth research into providing liquidity to markets ourselves so it becomes easier for users to place the first bet.
- On February 15, we shipped a substantial overhaul to our frontend architecture, making it significantly easier for our developers to iterate on the UI going forward.
- On March 2, we quietly shipped a change to allow users to navigate around the website unauthenticated, ahead of changes to add new login methods.
- On March 6, we publicly announced caption betting, a game mode where users can bet on the first letter of a tweet caption.
- On March 14, we started our new rewards campaign, a goal to delivered hundreds of thousands and millions of $MON back to the community for earning purple K
- On March 19, we showed people that we were not kidding, and kept pushing rewards via direct drops to Kizzy wallets
- On March 20, we silently shipped an updated reward system to rebalance purple K claiming in an attempt to increase the value of purple K
- On April 3, we launched our first ever deposit match campaign, a style of sign-up offer that had what we learned would be the strongest call to action yet to join Kizzy
- On April 11, we launched bonus chips, a secondary currency on the platform that will be the platform of all cashback rewards in the future
- On April 14, we launched a second deposit match campaign, this time targeting an even larger amount of bonus sign-up value and a larger audience for rewards
- On April 18, we dropped a huge load of bonus chips on users, all from purple K tracked earnings
- On April 22, we launched a new UI/UX which will be the base shell for a huge evolution in our experience, this was welcomed by lots of critique, and we encourage users to just sit back and get ready for what’s coming. It will all make sense soon.
What’s on the Way?
- KYC GONE: Any day now, we’re going to flip the switch and remove invasive KYC from app registration
- USDC MULTICHAIN: We’re in the final inning of testing multi-chain USDC token deposits, which will allow USDC deposits to the platform
- AUTO-LIQUIDITY: We’re adding liquidity to 2 secret PVP pools in the next week, to experiment with how automated liquidity provisioning can scale pari-mutuel pools
- UI/UX COMPLETION: Many users have griped on our recent UI/UX, but that’s completely understandable. We ripped out a ton of features, to clear out our UX workspace to add in a series of new features, tailored towards even faster and high payout games. Stay tuned and be patient with the UI/UX we’re NOT done yet.
- KIZZY SOCIAL MEDIA HOUSE GAME: This will be an evolution of spreads, and be a product that allows users to win huge payouts, backed completely by the Kizzy House, and run all on Monad. This will be the first house game we’ve ever built that will be live on real money.
- 24/7 WINNING: We have a product category that’s going to be coming just around the same time as the social media house game. But just know, you’ll be able to open up Kizzy on your phone, and win immediately anytime - all while stacking Kizzy rewards!
If you don’t already know, we’re full steam ahead on building one of the biggest gambling platforms on Monad. We’re expecting a surge after the first 3 items in the list are in route, and then a clear mandate to expand further into what we’re already angled at. The flywheel from rewards is turning, but we’re about to shake the retention curve hard after completely unrestricting onboarding, adding multi-chain USDC, shipping fast games and redressing the UI.
- More games → More activity → More attention → More rewards → More growth → Repeat
What’s Very Soon? No KYC and Finally a USDC Bridge Integration
Finally, we’re going to be able to offer Kizzy to more players and remove a lot of the scary friction that hurt our reputation in the last 4 months of Kizzy being on mainnet. And, we’re going to have USDC support for all sorts of chains, and then based on which one works best, we’re going to add in more tokens as they become available to connect to Monad.
We expect this to be a sizeable shift in adoption, and are extremely excited to build Kizzy with more people!
Hold on Tight! The winds are about to start picking up. Let’s ride!
