Crypto Payments Aren’t Made for People

Inaccessibility, the uncertainty of value, and lack of consumer-centric design make it impractical to use blockchain for business cases.

An Australian ICO looks globally

With the imminent launch of our new cryptocurrency, LivenCoin (LVN), Liven‘s sights are set on global expansion, and international travelers are set to reap the rewards. Liven’s Ethereum ERC20 coin will be powered by blockchain technology, allowing for a transparent, public ledger that makes transferring money and buying food overseas a seamless transaction.

Already a pioneering dining rewards app within the Australian hospitality market, with more than 1,000 businesses and over 200,000 consumers on board, the natural next step for Liven is to take our successful model overseas. Plans are in the works to launch the platform in the US and UK, with Liven poised to stake its claim on the $US3.5 trillion global hospitality market, as detailed in the forthcoming Liven whitepaper.

What’s Unique About the LVN Token

Details of LVN Tokens that have been made

We will be conducting a global-scale token generation event; minting a single release of 10,000,000,000 LVN to be used indefinitely for our closed loop economy. Small portions of this supply will be allocated to strategic vested reserves, founders, shareholders, and advisors. A larger sum will remain locked in our platform’s ‘reward pool’ — the backbone of our intelligent rewards mechanism. These reserves act to both stabilise the value of the currency internally and externally, and to facilitate the reward functions that define our platform.

The remainder of the tokens minted — 3 billion LVN; will be sold in tiered tranches privately to stakeholders, businesses and friends, then publicly to enthusiasts, users, and believers alike. The total sale amount is set to a maximum of $28,000,000 USD. Everyone can request access to the private sale but will have to provide ample proof-of-care (non-monetary contribution to the team and platform that shows a commitment to the cause.) On the day of platform launch this year, any buyer will be able to spend their LVN tokens at thousands of Liven partner merchants via the LivenPay platform.

Liven is excited to be closing out final public sale requests and preparing to open up the purchase of LVN tokens to the general public. The LivenCoin ICO has been in the private stage since May 2018.

On the day of platform launch this year, any buyer will be able to spend their LVN tokens at thousands of Liven partner merchants via the LivenPay platform.

Further details on the launch of the LVN coin, ICO opportunities and Liven’s international expansion strategy will be detailed in the soon to be released Liven whitepaper. More info can also be found on our Telegram channel or our ICO website.

Use of Funds

Expansion into new markets requires significant funding requirements for staffing, office space, marketing, and legal advice as well as increased technical development and infrastructure costs. The liability for circulating tokens that arises as a result of the Initial Token Sale also places a requirement on Liven to hold certain amounts of funds in reserve to cover the short-term costs of reimbursing merchants in fiat currency should LVN Tokens be redeemed at their venue.

The following information outlines our best estimation of the costs required and is based on the collective experience of our team and advisory members who have run successful businesses of their own in relevant markets.

Milestones & Roadmap

The Liven Platform is designed for scale, and our plans for the future reflect that. After 4 years of successful operation Liven is now poised to expand rapidly into new territories while continually developing our technology and feature set.

Overview

Unlike many blockchain projects and foundations started by developers without much business experience, the Liven Platform is built on an existing business by a core team possessing a wealth of knowledge and experience in payments technology, online hospitality & tourism platforms, and virtual marketplaces. The founders are supported by a growing team of more than 40 talented people, spread between the head office in Melbourne and satellite office in Sydney.

Extended Team

Investors

Liven has already completed 3 rounds of fundraising, along with the associated due diligence required to convince investors of the strength of the business and competence of the team; a real testament to the strength of the project. The latest round completed in March of 2017 saw the injection of $10 million AUD of venture capital into the business from Mayfair 101 and IPO Wealth.

Overview

Since its inception Liven has leveraged partnerships across a broad range of industries to accelerate our growth and bring value to our users; this strategy will continue into the future. Identifying the potential for relationships with synergy is a skill the founders have honed over more than 4 years, with partnerships with organizations such as Uber driving early growth for the platform that was invaluable. Liven has forged lasting partnerships with many of Australia’s most loved brands, including restaurants, charities, and other organizations.
