WIR Distributes Thousands of Virtual Coins at World Economic Forum 2019 in Davos
...we have made an exclusive, explorative interview with Daniel Surya, Chief Executive Officer of WIR, Asia’s leading group of companies focusing on Augmented Reality. With its headquarters in Indonesia, WIR is the technology company selected to showcase its technologies and to share various topics such as "WIR: Indonesia's Next Unicorn in Digital Reality" at the Indonesia Pavilion during the World Economic Forum 2019 in Davos.
WIR believes that 3 major factors make blockchain application effective: creativity, covering the fundamentals, and relevance. "Those 3 factors can be realized through a GAMING application and that can definitely be an advantage for brands too". This is MINAR, a free-to-play, location-based mobile gaming application based on Augmented Reality (AR) technology and GPS feature. "With MINAR, you will discover a whole new world – a world filled with endless treasures. MINAR gives you the opportunity to explore real location and search far and wide to mine virtual treasures which can be found inside a Minar Stones in realtime".
...‘Also’, Surya announced, ‘In mid-February, WIR has been invited to introduce MINAR to the island country of Malta (part of the EU), as well as other Mediterranean nations. We will introduce MINAR through a keynote speech in the opening of the Mediterranean Tourism Forum, attended by government and business leaders from the tourism sector from countries such as Turkey, Italy, Morocco, Greece, Croatia, Egypt, Tunisia, Algiers, and many more. While working on the Mediterranean region, WIR will also work its way to introducing the game in East Asia, as well as the US and Europe”.
MINAR has 3 kinds of virtual treasures as a form of a digital currency that has its own value and function: Minar Coins, Minar Points and Lucky Draw Tickets.
