MileVerse:
Revolutionising the Mileage Ecosystem through API Integration and Survey Platform Collaboration

In a world where customer engagement and retention are paramount, MileVerse, an app service created by Korean-based TrustChain Co., Ltd, has emerged as a trailblazer, redefining the usage of mileage and points through its unique business model. Integrating a diverse range of loyalty programs into a unified currency MVP (Mile Verse Point), MileVerse has crafted an ecosystem where scattered points become powerful. MileVerse, aptly named by combining 'Mileage' and 'Universe,' offers an app service which integrates various mileage and points into a single currency, MVP. This integration allows users to earn MVP through exchanging scattered points, direct purchases, or via rewards and app content. The versatility of MVP extends to its usage; it can be spent at offline affiliate stores, used for purchasing digital gift cards, or even withdrawn as cash under certain conditions. Additionally, the app offers unique entertainment content, further enhancing user engagement.
