UnikoinGold Priorities

When we designed UnikoinGold and the revolutionary high speed GAS-free Unikrn Wallet for our customers to enjoy a singular platform experience, we did it from the ground up. We took an existing use case with unparalleled depth and scale and designed a crypto expansion to match.

The esports and crypto communities reacted with a historic enthusiasm and confidence in our vision. With over 112,000 ETH collected we are ready to take Unikrn to the next level.

The UnikoinGold platform is like a Formula 1 engine while our competitors are making model Ts. But an engine is only as useful as the machine it powers.

Last week, we continued building that machine, launching an interactive jackpot system that allows our users to win in game items and other digital goods. We also created an app that allows our users to earn a small amount of UKG daily. We built the system to encourage users to turn over their tokens on the platform, and purchase additional tokens.

Users can also trade in their skins for UKG, and we’ll recycle those skins via our jackpot platform. In the past two days, we fine-tuned the jackpot system so that users will get even more UKG from bonus pools with more aggressive pricing for tickets.

As more of the community experiences Unikrn and engages with these (and more) one-of-a-kind experiences, we know UnikoinGold will generate more interest, users and turnover.

We’re also continuing our UKG CS:GO tournaments with ChallengeMe.GG. Before we even delivered tokens, we began those tournaments and we announced our real-money betting Malta license.

We’re committed to bringing in more titles, live betting, skill-based betting, a PVP platform, live stats and readouts for over 4500 esports matches, continued expansion of our rapidly growing custom content with UKG tie-ins, and a European rollout for which we’ve already secured the first part of our license.

That’s the plan. That’s always been the plan. UnikoinGold is unlike anything that came before it, and we’ve already blueprinted the rollout — and as we all know, no real transformation happens overnight.

Even while we forge new ground, we’re also aware that a Formula 1 racecar needs a course, and we are making great progress in vetting and partnering with exchanges to give our customers a safe space to purchase tokens easily and securely. The listing process is a complex one — and it’s much harder than it was in June of 2017. With that said, if getting listed is our biggest short term challenge then we’re in good shape. If any of you reading this feels like making introductions to move things along please feel free to do so! I can be reached at rs at unikrn.com.

Finding an exchange where our customers can safely and easily buy UnikoinGold to participate on our platform is our #1 priority at the moment. We all believe in this company and these products, and with patience you’ll continue to see the results of our continued hard work!

Oh by the way, we are working on updating CoinMarketCap as well. The total number of UKG in circulation is ~130 million, and we’ll continue to do quarterly updates on this as part of our internal audits. We are providing all the wallet addresses and details shortly. Please feel free to share this around

How the UKG Wallet Makes the Most of the Ethereum Blockchain - Rahul Sood

The Ethereum blockchain is a monument of untapped potential. Users will be discovering and implementing new ways to utilize open ledgers with smart contracts into the foreseeable future. But there’s a dark side to potential: the dangers of emerging technologies. Security and functionality come to Unikrn at the highest premium, which is why we developed technology to avoid these dangers.

In this case, kittens.

You may have noticed that transactions on the blockchain have crawled this week. The reason, it turns out, is the success of Crypto Kitties — equal parts crypto, pokemon and meme cats — has made the project grow from 4 to 14% of total blockchain network traffic in just a few days. It's actually a beautiful thing, as a life long gamer I love their vision. These guys are making money and making blockchain fun by creating, moving, and breeding digital kittens, it’s really neat.

However, the impact is there simply isn’t enough space in the mined blocks to validate all the pending transactions, so every Ethereum transaction for nearly every ERC20-based project slows down, and GAS is expensive. Except at Unikrn.

That’s because we took the time to think about our token’s core principles and potential uses before we ever launched a sale:

UKG needs to be exchanged in low-latency, high-frequency transactions 24-7, for esports and gaming applications
The UKG platform needs to be stable for future betting applications
UKG needs to be secure when used on our platform, making our users less susceptible to phishing or hacking attempts
The applications we build have to be fun, designed specifically for our users.
The UnikoinGold development team saw Crypto Kitties — or a project like it — coming. If the blockchain is susceptible to open development, eventually a high-volume overnight success is going to smash transaction speeds, potentially increase GAS and destabilize the ecosystem we need.

So we built the Unikrn Wallet. If you’ve used UnikoinGold to enter one of our jackpots or if you’ve earned it by playing Dota 2, League of Legends or CS:GO on Connekt, you’ll have noticed that our platform didn’t slow a millisecond while the blockchain came screeching to a crawl under the strain of moving kittens across the world..

That’s because our Wallet allows our users to transact on our platform without needing verification from the wider blockchain. It’s only when users transfer in or out to the public blockchain that they become subject to GAS and kitten blockages again (as the blockchain works to verify the exchange).

I’ve spoken widely about the dangers of bubble ICOs attached to no real-world product, preying on the market with encouragements of investment. Crypto Kitties just exposes how bad some of these ICO’s are structured. In fact, most ICO projects really have no idea how to deal with this backpressure of transactions on the blockchain short of waiting for Ethereum to hard fork.

UnikoinGold was developed as a utility token, with immediate application launches. As we expand applications, create liquidity and grow our platform, other tokens in our space will still be struggling with product and application, especially as they continue to be caught unaware by the kittens of the future.

Crypto Kitties’ impact on the blockchain is just another example of how UKG was designed with foresight in which we did not want to limit ourselves or our customers. We can switch to whatever tech we want whenever there is a good fit. The Crypto Kitties team have created an amazingly cool product that will make the [Suspicious link removed]munity and economy better as a whole. Being prepared for all potential scenarios doesn’t hurt anyone. Our focus is and will remain on platform, customer, experience and security, UKG is being built with use in mind.

That means looking at potential obstacles in the future, not just focusing on the here and now. That means building a platform that will give our users something to enjoy. We’re about creating, not bloviating, and that’s what made us the biggest token sale in esports and gaming history.

That’s what will make us the decentralized token, with a strong support platform, for esports and gaming’s future. Just remember, we’ve been here for 3 years now, we’ve grown to be the strongest brand in global esports betting, we have plenty of work ahead of us!

any news on this? no activity on social media, no updates so ofcourse price is falling, but that musnt mean anything if theay start to be active etc. so far it looks a lil bit scammy to me, cause they raised so much and they are event listed on some bigger exchanges like bittrex, polo, kraken. but it has no point in selling now, when the price is low.

Not sure what you perceive as scammy. We are operating our platform and providing services to those interested.
Meanwhile we are working on exchange listings, expanding into markets and developing new services.

Let us know if you have a specific inquiry, question or concern.

Making UnikoinGold More Accessible to Customers

I know many of our customers are eager for an easier way to acquire additional UnikoinGold, and we certainly can and will do this.

We’ve also heard the voices of fans asking us to reopen direct selling to make buying UKG easy; we cannot do this.

But we have been working with exchanges around the world to give esports, gaming and crypto enthusiasts an opportunity to easily buy UKG from reputable outlets. This process has taken an immense amount of work: it’s harder to get listed on a major exchange than it once was. That’s okay, though, we’re working hard to make UnikoinGold widely available to our customers who reside in hundreds of countries worldwide.

I promise you this work is months in the making, and we will get there. In the meantime we want to create some more opportunities for our customers to easily acquire UKG.

Today, I’m happy to bring two more exchanges into our folds: CoinHub and Braveno. Each brings uniquely valuable traits to the UKG ecosystem that we know will benefit our users, now and in the future.

CoinHub will allow our users to purchase UKG directly with FIAT currency, which is a direct response to our community asking for easier ways to exchange the token. In addition to USD, Euros and SGD, CoinHub will still allow crypto exchanges for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Although CoinHub is new, they’re building a quality regulated platform which works well for our business. CoinHub is available to users in the Middle East and Europe. CoinHub will come online with UnikoinGold within the next 24 hours.

Braveno is an exchange built for companies and developers and should help potential platform partners utilize the Unikrn platform more easily by creating UKG liquidity. This will become increasingly important as our platform continues to grow in functions, experiences and users. Braveno should come online sometime later this week.

In a landscape where overnight fixes and seemingly instantaneous expansions appear to be the norm, there are users who purchased UnikoinGold to use on Unikrn, and these users experiences are our top priority.

I promise that we will not lose sight of the long-term goals that were themselves the fuel that gave UnikoinGold the largest token sale in esports and gaming history. We have consistently encouraged users who were interested in buying UnikoinGold to buy our token to use it on our platform. We will continue to build features that make UKG fun and engaging. The addition of these exchanges will facilitate transactions our community needs to engage with our platform and potential partners need to join us.

The fact is, we’re a business with active token applications, we are continuing to improve token uses, and we are working on building a network of highly respectable exchanges. Blockchain wasn’t built overnight. It takes immense effort to create “sudden” success.

We’ve been doing that work and we are continuing to do that work. In the meantime, we will continue to expand our platform piece by piece to give our users more use cases with a long-term view of how UnikoinGold will become the decentralized token of esports and gaming instead of a instant bubble that served “investors” over users.

To thank our loyal esports and gaming audience for helping power our success in 2017, we have a series of holiday giveaways, jackpots and extra UKG earnings from our platform planned throughout December. You will absolutely want more details.


UnikoinGold’s foundation is strong, but I’m most excited about what we’ll be building on and announcing about that foundation for the end of this year and throughout 2018. Buckle up, it’s just about to get real! There will be more exchanges coming.

That's not to mention our work with brick-and-mortar casinos, our acquisition of Leet and our unprecedented UnikoinGold launch, which broke all records for esports and gaming crypto token sales. Soon, Unikrn will be the only gaming site you need, all brought together with the decentralized token of esports and gaming.

As you can see, we're excited. This was a historic year for us, and we're sharing that success with our fans!

Unikrn Partners with MGM Resorts International to Host Esports Tournaments in LEVEL UP at MGM Grand Las Vegas


Today we’re announcing that Unikrn is joining the Las Vegas strip in an unprecedented partnership with the MGM Grand. This is a deal years in the making with major implications for gaming and the world of traditional brick-and-mortar tourism.

Las Vegas is one of America’s most-visited cities, and the MGM Grand was arguably the world’s first destination hotel, an idea that revolutionized travel and entertainment a few decades ago. We’re re-disrupting those industries by bringing esports tournaments and UnikoinGold into the casino world, where we’ll unearth a new demographic for MGM and a similarly new experience for the Esports generation...

I find it really interesting that you guys are going after the strip and with MGM. Do some research. Crypto currencies are not intended for massive companies like MGM. They are designed to disturb them. The crypto world will reject anything a major monopolizing company gets it hands on. This is the same company that charges for parking and holds most of the Hakkasan clubs. December 31st, the strip gets disturbed, get ready.

P.S. The name is way to close to this:
Unicorn Gold is a ‘before-you-squat’ poo spray

Guys, I have participated to the ICO but cannot find my UKG anymore. Do you know where they can potentially be? I have used to see them after logging into my account. Thanks,

While we appreciate that point of view regarding disruption, we believe that this is also a way of disrupting existing business. MGM will not be monopolizing Unikrn's offerings or UnikoinGold in any way. They are incorporating it in their already existing gaming-oriented Bar and brought on Unikrn to do so. Unikrn's expertise and additional offering will expand what MGM already had in place and considers it yet another great avenue to introduce people to esports, Unikrn and UnikoinGold.

Thanks for heads up! Might have to bring them on as a package deal to all that will be engaging with the skill-based wagers, spray it before they teabag/squat down on their opponent and take their UKS/UKG.
But in seriousness, we serve different markets and you are the first one to bring this product up. We doubt this will be a problem.

Guys, I have participated to the ICO but cannot find my UKG anymore. Do you know where they can potentially be? I have used to see them after logging into my account. Thanks,

Hey Luca,

The tokens have been distributed to the wallet addresses from which the purchase was made from.
So the wallet you used to send Ether during the tokensale, will have been credited with the UnikoinGold tokens.

Make sure your wallet interface supports UnikoinGold natively or supports adding custom tokens.
Here is the information you will need to add UnikoinGold as a custom token:

Token Contract Address: 0x24692791bc444c5cd0b81e3cbcaba4b04acd1f3b
Token Symbol: UKG
Decimals: 18

Unikrn Upgrades Playwire Media Partnership

Unikrn has partnered with the largest online rep firm for gaming and entertainment, Playwire. 2018 might be close, but we're still not done with 2017.
Our expanding partnership with Playwire is another step toward Unikrn becoming the premier outlet for everything esports and gaming. Playwire Media will exclusively represent Unikrn's esports media, bringing a level of expert knowledge to advertising, branding and US event sponsorship often lacking in the vibrant, but fairly young, esports industry.

"With this union, reaching an esports audience is becoming easier than ever before, especially with the rollout of UnikoinGold helping to break down international barriers of entry," our CEO, Rahul Sood, said. "There’s no longer an excuse for brands to ignore this rapidly growing and enormously influential demographic."

We expect Playwire to build on our foundation endemic to the esports and gaming world as well as our success fusing traditional brands and products with modernized experiences for the esports generation, such as our recently announced partnership to bring tournaments into the MGM Grand Las Vegas. Although this is our second major partnership announcement this week, don't be fooled;

Unikrn has a track record for fusing traditional brands and products with gaming experiences to appeal to a modern generation of gamers and esports fans. Playwire Media will build on this groundwork to bring in more experiences, funding and participation.

“Through our relationship with Unikrn, we will be offering brands unique access to a millennial demographic that has tremendous value and purchasing power,” said Jayson Dubin, CEO, Playwire Media. “Our collaboration gives our brand partners the ability to reach their audiences through an avenue that’s ever-evolving with no signs of slowing down.”

Many NBA teams have taken the plunge to start their own esports teams under the new NBA 2K League. Unikrn will bring regular NBA 2K Tournaments to venues for March Madness, and will work with Playwire Media to expose brands to partnership opportunities with the Dallas Mavericks and other teams.

What happened with this one? I had it on my ICO list as one to watch... Solid team who seems to be moving things forward and communicating here and on reddit --though not a lot of conversation happening. What am I missing? Seems like some people got screwed in the ICO? Similar to ENG? And others...

With the recent news and low market cap this seems like an incredible buy? The 'mainstream' argument does not hold up. Stellar is with IBM and Dragonchain with Disney and both are skyrocketing. What am I missing?

Disclosure: potential buyer.

Why are you on this thread? Just curious. Isn't the fact that it is backed by MC more of a reason to buy and sell at a profit? --participating in the pump and dumps.
