August 2024: Improved security and Rewards overview

The Green Ambassador

Hello Green Ambassadors,

already one week into a new month, which means a new update in which we look back at the previous month. While August for most has been a period of holiday's and relaxing, it has been a hectic month with many updates happening in the background. 

We are proud to have hit the mile-stone of 20.000 users this month!

Read on to see a highlight of what happened in August. To get a complete overview of all platform updates in August, have a look at our roadmap.

Treasury data live from the Blockchain

Our treasury data is now continuously updated in real-time, directly sourced from the blockchain through the trusted data provided by VeChain.Energy. This integration ensures complete transparency, allowing users to track how funds are being utilized at any given moment. 

By making this information readily accessible, we aim to uphold the highest level of accountability and maintain trust within our community regarding the management of our financial resources.


Anti-cheat: randomized questions and answers

Unfortunately, not all participants join with the intention to learn; some are simply looking for quick financial gain. We even noticed YouTube videos surfacing with the correct answers to our questions, aimed at supporting these "cheaters."

To address this issue, we’ve implemented a system that randomizes both the questions and answers for every challenge. This means that each user encounters a unique set of questions and answers, making it significantly more difficult to cheat. With every challenge being personalized, no two users will have the exact same experience, ensuring a fairer and more meaningful learning journey.


Rewards pay-out visibility

Currently, we continue to process reward payouts manually every Monday. However, in preparation for introducing instant reward payouts, we've added a new overview to your account page. 

This feature allows you to easily track the progress of all your challenges and monitor the status of your reward payout in real-time. This added transparency not only keeps you informed but also sets the stage for a seamless transition to faster, automated reward distributions in the near future.


New contact form

We’ve launched a new contact form to streamline communication and assist you more efficiently when issues arise with the platform. The form is designed to automatically prefill your account details, as we noticed that many users previously neglected to provide this information, making it difficult for us to offer timely support. 

With this new feature, we can now quickly access the necessary details to resolve your queries faster and more effectively.


Coming next

Here is what we are currently working on and what you can expect to go live in the coming to weeks.

As always you can find a full overview of the things we are working on, on our roadmap.


Login using email

Currently, users need a Google, Twitter, or Microsoft account to log in. However, we're excited to announce that we are working on a new feature that will allow you to log in directly using your email address—no registration or password required!

This will make accessing the platform even more convenient. We're in the final stages of fixing some bugs, and we expect to launch this feature in the coming month. Stay tuned for a smoother, password-free login experience!


Instant pay-outs with proofs

We are working towards fully automating our rewards process, so in the future, you can be instantly rewarded as soon as you complete a challenge—no more waiting until the next Monday to receive your rewards! 

Our priority is to ensure this system is 100% safe and secure before launching it, and we will begin testing it in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for updates as we make reward payouts faster and more seamless.


Two brand-new challenges are ready to be released, offering fresh opportunities for you to engage and learn! These upcoming challenges promise to be both exciting and rewarding, so make sure to stay tuned.
