Wow this is what crypto is all about - Save the frogs!!!

Looking forward to the launch 🐸

Also is it possible to use existing VR Goggles or do we need the Romeo ones to participate?

ROMEO is a new ERC20 Token that addresses saving an endangered frog and offering the ROMEO Community the opportunity to use virtual reality to experience life through the frog’s eyes as he looks for his mate and saves his species from extinction.
The ROMEO Community members can buy Romeo Tokens and use them to:

•  Vote on where the scientists should explore for Romeo’s mate
•  Purchase ROMEO Virtual Reality Goggles
•  See life through the eyes of the frog


Romeo is the last Sehuencas Water Frog of its kind. Telmatobius yuracare, the Sehuencas water frog, is a threatened species of telmatobid frog that occurs in montane rainforests, cloud forests and Yungas forest at altitudes of 2,000-3,000m asl in the eastern Andes of Bolivia in Chapare Province and Caballero Province (De la Riva 1994). It is an aquatic species, seen mostly at the bottom of streams and ponds, but also on the ground during rains. It breeds in water; the tadpole was described by De la Riva (1994). It is not known from exposed areas outside forest. Individuals are sticky when handled (Köhler 2000).

Many organizations around the globe have come together to prevent Romeo’s extinction. The last known frog of this kind, Romeo, is living in captivity in Bolivia Bolivian Amphibian Initiative, led by a Scientist at Ghent University. He has gone to great lengths to find Romeo a partner by launching a series of expeditions into forested areas likely to harbor more of Romeo’s kind.
With the help of the environmental organization Global Wildlife Conservation and the dating service Match.com, the biologist hopes to raise USD $1,000,000 by May 1, 2018, to fund the expeditions to find Romeo a mate.


The Romeo Virtual Reality Goggles, which can only be purchased using the ROMEO Token, allow users to see life through ROMEO’s eyes. Watch as he hops around the beautiful Bolivian Forest, drinks from puddles, swims in the river, and jumps from tree to tree. We anticipate users will be very keen to tune in when the time comes for Romeo’s first date.
