What problem is being solved here using web3 tech?
The idea here is to use Thermal Optical Imaging(TOI) through smart phone's camera to create an economy of "scan your face and earn". You get paid more for improved health as time goes by. But If you do not improve, you only earn a base amount. It will encourage you to become healthy.

I had the chance to spend several hours in person with Asher, the CEO of BLiV, so based on this discussion I'm revising my review with some notes:
[another update after the AMA] Removed 1 star because of two reasons:
As Bliv is at the very start of their journey and have not grown much of a community yet, I thought I would give my 2 cents for what I believe would be good things for BLiv to do in order to help them to grow their community and keep their community interactive with the project.
BLiv is a "Better Live to earn" web3 project. Team seems to have good intention to help people live better. They aspire to motivate participants by rewarding tokens for living a healthy life.
What works:
I'm completely editing my previous review given the extensive edits that were made by the team, many of which seemed to have been based on my previous review (see review history).
The website now looks much better overall. It has more finished and exciting feel. A lot of the most important information is there, including what it is (rewarding people for being healthy), how it works (get rewards... More
The core model, Live2Earn (L2E), focuses on rewarding users for maintaining their health, incentivizing preventive measures, and regular health check-ups.
The core technology Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) allows users to track health with just their mobile camera is interesting. Gamifying health tracking is also not a bad idea.
However, I feel this project is going to be a big one to pull... More
I am all for an app that encourages me to be healthier. One that pays me in tokens to be healthier is even better. So I love the idea behind this project. Following an AMA with Asher, one of the core team members, I have revised my review from 3 stars to 4. He spoke to us from within his existing heath shop and mentioned the large number of big brands they work with.
Initially, even after thoroughly browsing the website, I had little understanding of BLiV's intended offerings. While the deck provided some clarification, my doubts persisted after interacting with the CEO.
Firstly, the camera scan feature appears more like a gimmick than a valuable addition to the earning model. Nowadays, move-to-earn apps offer numerous extras such as video watching or... More
I think I am a BLiVer
This project encompasses several trending narratives in the crypto market, making it highly likely to succeed.
BLiV has obtained a license for "State-of-the-art... More
Bliv scores well on tokenomics. Although we still do not have the exact distribution of the tokens and vesting in the docs, but based on Crypto Rookies assessment and his attached initial distribution scheme(Good vesting and distribution between team, investors and ecosystem), I am giving it 5 stars.
It has all the good ingredients in it's design to make it sustainable in long term. ... More
Asher spoke to the Cyrator team on 4 July and his enthusiasm for his project was palpable. Showing us around his shop and pharmacy and telling us about all of the big brands he already has connections with made me feel more excited about the project too. And after doing some research into the team's backgrounds, I have no hesitation awarding them 5 stars in this category.

This is very early for Bliv to be assessed for it's progress. But team has been doing right things by being reviewed and updating themselves to be better prepared for success. Based on the AMA(July 2023), Bliv has raised enough pre-seed money to build web2 mobile app as MVP (Minimal Viable product). Which is expected to get completed by Q3 2023.
Originally I was concerned if the technology would end up being another Theranos. However, there are disclaimers that clearly state that it is not to be used as diagnostic, so in the end just like a fitbit, you cannot rely on it for medical reasons. However, regardless if it works or not, you can still earn while scanning your face, so users should see it not as a replacement for a general health... More
At this early stage of the project it is difficult to determine whether Bliv's tokens will be a good investment on the open market after they launch. However I believe the right question to ask right now is considering first impressions, have Bliv managed to captivate my interest and potentially entice me enough to use their app on a regular basis?
Bliv presents a unique and intriguing concept... More
One thing that always works for me is having a hyperlink or a small link for the team members that links it to either their LinkedIn, Substack, Medium, or even past works that could help with building the credibility of the core team. In BLiV's case, although there are short write-ups of the core team members, it is extremely brief and does not explicitly touch on their background. I had to also... More
I agree with Crypto Mill that it's difficult to rate a project on progress that this early. But here's a couple of points that are important to me.
Pro:
I'd like to commend BLiV for introducing the concept of "Live to Earn." I am all for a project that emphasizes and encourages a healthier lifestyle, fostering awareness + self care among individuals.
The implementation of Transdermal Optical Imaging as a facial scanning feature within the app is an intriguing technological advancement that piques my curiosity. I look forward to trying it out... More
I've come across this project multiple times in the past weeks, and each time I'm amazed as I delve deeper into its mechanics. However, the concept of a private swap pool always makes me uneasy whenever I encounter it in a project. While I understand its purpose, I wonder if others feel the same way.
The product design combines elements of Star Trek and sports, but it fails to convey a strong... More
BLiv will utilize Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI) and blockchain tech (tokens, NFTs, Staking etc). Please note that TOI tech is not proprietary and Bliv will use third party providers for this tech. Which is good thing ad Bliv is not dependent on making a breakthrough in TOI and Machine Learning. At the same time, it is easily replicable by others. Overall, it has potential to be successful in... More
My tech rating is between 3-4 stars. But I'm staying with 3 for now until I see a couple of improvements.
First, why 3 or 4 stars: To me, a 5 star rating is for a project that has excellently designed tech that's developed in minute detail.
A 4 star rating Is quite good detail, the main tenets of the product are well designed and developed, but maybe some aspects still need some work.
3 stars... More
