French Esports organization Vitality recently announced the launch of the mobile app: V.Hive, the first support-to-earn mobile app in esports based on blockchain.
Tezos Blockchain Technology
The pioneering mobile app is built on Tezos and is available on Andoid and IOS devices. Tezos is a smart contract platform used to issue new digital assets and create decentralized applications. The project gained notoriety as one of the first blockchain-based projects to implement a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus algorithm over a proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm used by Bitcoin.

Vitality and Tezos Partnership
Team Vitality announced its landmark partnership with the Tezos ecosystem in January 2022. It was considered to be one of the biggest in European esports history. Ever since then, they have been building their community-first mobile app. In addition to engaging and rewarding the Team Vitality community, V.Hive has been designed to educate its fans on the Web3 universe and onboard them in a simple and accessible way.
“Having worked closely alongside Team Vitality over the past several months on V.Hive, it is amazing to see the first fan-engagement mobile app coming to life on Tezos. I am thrilled to be part of this collaboration that directly empowers the Vitality fans. I’m excited to see Team Vitality set an example of what fan engagement looks like in Web3.” stated Jan Albers, Head of Gaming Partnerships, Tezos Foundation.
The brands have consistently delivered engaging content and drops for free to fans to onboard them ahead of the V.Hive launch. Phase 1 began with the launch of the V.Hive Pass in July. This transformed into a mysterious egg in September ahead of hatching into users’ custom digital avatars for Phase 2. The second phase began in October and introduced wearables. This phase now concludes with the launch of the V.Hive app.
