STORM is aiming to create earning opportunities for people across the globe by using the latest blockchain technology. STORM allows you to earn anywhere, anytime and on any device. STORM Play is an application on your mobile device that allows users to access the decentralized micro-task marketplace that only accepts STORM tokens.
Micro-tasks include watching videos, playing games and trying out new services. Users can also earn STORM tokens by shopping on the STORM Shop which is so-called “Earn to shop”. The final way to earn STORM tokens is by performing STORM gigs which allows freelancers to perform micro-tasks by teaching or creating a certain service to tailor the consumer’s needs.

One Key Feature of the STORM Marketplace is that it allows users to use any device they want, especially mobile devices as this enables users to access the marketplace when out during the day. With the average American adult spending two hours and fifteen minutes daily according to www.hackernoon.com this accounts for 65% of the total media consumption, this is why STORM allowing users to access the marketplace from their mobile devices a very key impact to this project.
An interesting approach STORM Market has taken is using Gamification which is an online marketing technique that engages the consumer in a product or service. This helps users earn STORM Tokens in a simple and easy way whilst trying a product/service. However, this tactic is not one hundred percent reliable as many users have reported not being paid out STORM Tokens for the actions they have completed.
With problems like these is can make your community feel “ripped off” and less likely to use your marketplace again, however, if they can get this under control and have somewhere near a hundred percent guaranteed payout for actions completed this will allows the STORM Marketplace to grow as a reliable, fast and secure place.
Overall STORM doesn’t have many features that make it stand out from the rest, I’d say it an average coin I can’t see it becoming big as is lacks in multiple areas. To improve STORM should focus on something new to make the marketplace stand out from any other centralized platforms and improve their payout system.
