SmartPlaces, is a geolocation-based social network granting access to hyperlocal experiences and markets by seamlessly bridging the digital and real worlds. Our all-in-one mobile app, users connect, interact, and collaborate globally on a localized level. At X, user autonomy is key. This is why users decide what personal data to share, not only with us but also with other users and our partners. Users actively thrive by collecting redeemable reward points (tokens) from their social network and real-life interactions, as well as engaging with our business and advertising partners. As a worldwide yet hyperlocal marketplace, SmartPlaces empowers regional market growth and local businesses. Integrated AR and AI Holo ads allow our business and advertising partners a high-level target group localization, while at the same time creating an immersive mobile experience that provides users with a unique discovery journey through gamification. We divided the world into hexagons, each representing a virtual piece of the real world as NFT. Smart Places land plots can be bought as unique digital assets on our platform and traded at any NFT marketplace. SmartPlaces rewards NFT land plot owners with tokens for any app user interaction and activities involving our business and advertising partners on their virtual land.
