Hello Pal International Inc. (CSE: HP) (OTC Pink: HLLPF) (FSE: 27H) a provider of rapidly growing international social messaging, language learning and travel mobile apps based on blockchain technology, is pleased to announce it has released version 5.0 of the Hello Pal platform which includes a unique, proprietary digital wallet. Users will now be able to store and transfer popular digital assets and tokens, including Bitcoin and Ether, through the use of blockchain technology.

“This marks a watershed moment for the Company as we enter the blockchain world that is revolutionizing so many aspects of our lives,” said KL Wong, Founder and CEO of Hello Pal. “Going forward, every Hello Pal user will now have an easy means of transferring value to other Hello Pal users to reward them for the value received from those users through the platform. We expect that this ability to transfer value between users will have a very significant impact on the motivation of users to help each other learn languages over the long term and to continue using the Hello Pal apps.”

All Hello Pal users are now able to activate the Hello Pal digital wallet and use it to store popular blockchain-based digital assets and tokens such as Bitcoin and Ether. Blockchain-based digital assets are gradually gaining popularity across the world, and their borderless nature ties in perfectly with the international nature of the Hello Pal platform and its mission of “bringing the world closer together”. The ability to transfer such digital assets is expected to be increasingly useful to the Hello Pal platform’s over 3 million users spread over 200 countries and territories, as payments can now be easily and efficiently made to and from lesser developed countries and even in micro amounts.

“With the latest release, users can make transfers to other users in whatever amount and frequency they like, and not only is this done cost-effectively, it is also as simple as sending a picture within a chat,” said Mr. Wong. Hello Pal anticipates that its digital wallet will also have a positive impact on further expanding the user base, user retention rates and daily activity levels of the Hello Pal app.

The incorporation of a digital wallet is the first new product launch through the Company’s collaboration with Shanghai Yitang Data Technology Co. Ltd. and forms part of its plan to transform the Hello Pal platform into one that is based on blockchain technology.
