2018
Our story
Hello, dear friends! We are excited to share our amazing story with you.
It all began back in 2018 in the beautiful city of Paris. Imagine a higher education institution filled with ambitious and talented people. That’s where fate brought us together — Tomy, a teacher, and Arthur and Adilie, curious students. We were united not only by our passion for computer science and web3, but also by our grand dreams.
At first, we worked on small projects, experimenting and fantasizing. Then we decided, “Enough dreaming; it’s time to act!” And in 2019, our company Smartness was born.

2019
Our firstborn, the LiveCoworking platform, was meant to transform restaurants and hotels into coworking spaces. But on the day of the launch, the unexpected happened — a lockdown was announced due to Covid-19. We didn’t lose heart and quickly adapted: physical coworking spaces turned into virtual ones, and the name was shortened to LiveCo. People worked from home, logged onto the platform, chose a profession, created virtual rooms, and worked together via video calls. Beautiful!
However, we noticed that most users were accessing the platform from their mobile phones. And then it hit us: “We need a mobile app!” We wanted people to be able to give guitar lessons, conduct psychotherapy sessions, or show the best recipes via video camera, and clients to be able to pay for services safely and quickly. And that’s where cryptocurrency came into play!

2020
User experience is extremely important to us. We wanted even children and elderly people to be able to use our product easily without noticing the complexities of the blockchain. That’s why we developed meta-transactions for the XKO ERC-20 token — that allow you to receive and send tokens without extra fees and manipulations. We worked hand in hand with the Polygon team to bring this idea to life in 2020.
2021
In 2021, we added more social features: posts, likes, the ability to reward great publications, and premium posts that require purchase to access. And again, we shortened the name to Ko. Yes, Ko, not K. O., but “ko,” all together. Please remember that!
2022
We were lucky to meet wonderful investors and another co-founder, Soufiyan in 2022. Without them, we wouldn’t be writing this story. Thank you, guys!
2023
Then we added a super feature: creating NFT content with one click. Sexy, right? The organizers of CES thought so too and invited us to the World Premier in Las Vegas in 2023. It was and remains a huge honor for us.
We also received the title of “Young Innovative Company in France” at the end of 2023 and are immensely proud of it.

2024
We’ve been through a lot: ups and downs, sleepless nights, crises in the blockchain world. But we never gave up.
Today, in 2024, we are pleased to present to you Shaaare. It's not just a platform for earning tokens for content. It's the result of years of experience, reflection, and dedication.
Shaaare is a sophisticated platform that integrates blockchain and AI technologies, designed to automatically reward creators for generating high-quality and brand-related content. This system leverages blockchain for its transparency, security, and efficiency in tracking and distributing rewards, while AI components are employed to assess content quality and relevance to specific brand parameters.
