84 thoughts on “AMA Satoshi Club x PolkaPets, October 25th

  1. At first glance on your NFTs, I can say that some of it kind of resembles the same features and characteristics of the characters in Pokemon. Can you confirm that Polkapets based its NFT art concepts on the famous game and show Pokemon? If so, what similarities does Polkapets and Pokemen have both in common? Can you discuss more about the conceptualization part/stage of your NFTs?

  2. Polkadot had recently announced the launch of its parachain auctions that will commence during the second week of November this year. Given that Polkapets’ main goal is to participate in the Polkadot ecosystem and partnering with some of the top projects built on Polkadot, does this mean Polkapet will also engage and particpate on the parachain auction? Is this initiative part of your plan/roadmap? Does the nature of your project needs this feature?

  3. Based on your litepaper, Polkapets has seven (7) in-house artists & game developers designated to craft the Polkapet world, from characters planning to cards design, from storytelling to gamification. However, I cannot find details and information about these individuals. Can you provide us a proper introduction about your project’s artists and game developers to give them the appropriate credit in exerting efforts for producing the game visuals and artworks? Who are these people?

  4. Interesting!!!! But, do you have AUDIT certificates?
    Or, are you working to AUDIT your project, to make it more secure and reliable?

  5. I noticed that players can earn $PETS as game rewards. Can you deeply explain how does this reward system work? Do players get paid just for playing games or should they win to receive rewards? How do you calculate $PETS rewards for each player? From your token allocation, only 8% has been allocated for game incentives. Since it will be exremely competitive to receive rewards from this small allocation, please explain the methods to increase our chances to get incentives. When more players are joining the platform, do you hope to increase the allocation for incentives?

  6. In the Litepaper, you have mentioned that you are high quality creative and you have 7 in-house artists and game developers designated to craft the Polkapet world, from characters planning to cards design, and from storytelling to gamification. My question is, where I can find evidence for these qualifications of your team? It is true that you have included their photos with names on your website. However, there is no way to find their educational qualifications and past experience. Don’t you hope to publish those information or give links to their LinkedIn profiles to assure what you have indicated?

  7. We understand $PETS is the Utility Token for the polkapet ecosystem and it can be used for staking governance, and in play-to-earn as well as stake $PETS for Token rewards, stake $PETS for Exclusive NFTS to get PPN. Could you please explain to us enthusiasts on how your $PETS Token could be gotten as well as for these utilities under your ecosystem?

  8. It caught my attention that the PolkaPets team works on acquiring new Polkadot audience, ambassadors, community managers, and NFT enthusiasts. Do you select ambassadors and managers from community members? One utility of $PETS is gaining the access to vote for art and creative selections. Can $PETS holders intervene also in electing supporters such as ambassadors and managers? Can they apply for those posts? Please explain the procedure of recruiting persons for the above posts. Moreover, how do you make payments after recruiting? Since there is no alloction in the token supply for payments, please explain the income sources for the payments of new recruitments.

  9. You did mention on your IDO & IEO new projects. could you please explain to us enthusiasts on those such new projects? Kusama , integration, Protopets, 5+projects onboarding, game Demo, New Game? All these sounds interesting could you please detail us on them before hand , i.e November you scheduled rolling out?

  10. I learnt that some days back, specifically on Wednesday 6th October you burned a substantial amount of 10,000 SOLAR, and bought back $45,000 worth of tokens from the open market, ensuring the stability and sustainability of SOLAR’s economy.
    This is now the third token burn and buy-back, and following on from the burns of September 28th and 21st, brings us to a total of 25,000 SOLAR burned, and $130,000 bought back from the open market in total. Considering the fact that polkapet is only 7 weeks old and are currently trading up to $30 million of volume a day, can you say this great achievement is as a result of the burning and buy back mechanism you’ve been implementing? Are there plans to burn more tokens in the future??

  11. PolkaPet is known for its unique NFT which encourages participation in the Polkadot ecosystem, but I believe that for your project to gain traction and demand, NFT must be affordable to consumers and various rarities. How much does your NFT cost and briefly explain the various rarities?

  12. I read the news that PolkaPet World announces an increase of $ 3.1M led by Animoca Brands to promote the adoption of NFT in Polkadot, this is very interesting because it brings together 2 different markets, animalists and lovers of NFT, what projects of Polkadot partnered with you to generate this $ 3.1M in the first round and how did this success connect with your vision of being the leading project at Polkadot?

  13. I’ve been researching your latest partnerships and read that PolkaPet World’s $ PETS Token will be released on Moonriver, in partnership with Solarbeam, the Kusama Parachain and the companion network for Polkadot’s Moonbeam project. This opens the door to unpopular cheap DeFi products. How will $ PETS holders interact with these DeFi products and what role will the PolkaPet World DeFi app have in the middle of this?

  14. You said, “The decision to launch our new $ PETS token on Moonriver is a declaration of intent for PolkaPet World to showcase the best of the Polkadot network,” said Harry Liu, team leader and founder of PolkaPet World. How do you plan to drive innovation in the NFT and GameFi space through the power of Polkadot? What can the Solarbeam association offer to benefit the launch of $ PETS on October 28?

  15. PolkaPets focuses on driver education and participation in Polkadot ecosystem while providing revenue and marketing opportunities for the next Projects. Each PolkaPet NFT represents a project in Polkadot with ‘special moves’ that correspond to the characteristics of your project. What is driving education? How does driving education work? What benefits does this type of education offer?

  16. PolkaPets Established strong relationships with Polkadot and more than 21 associated projects to Build a PolkaPet ecosystem, taking advantage of the network effect and expanding its PolkaPets network to a broader reach of buyers. Can you tell us which projects you have developed partnerships with? Do you estimate to develop more partnerships? What is the strategic benefit of partnering with polkapets?

What features allow it not to be another boring NFT game?

  19. PolkaPets focus on driving education and participation in the Polkadotecosystem while providing revenue and marketing opportunities for upcomingprojects. Each Pet also acts like a key oran “Amiibo” to unlock functionality in games and other DeFi platforms and future PolkaPeta products.My question is,what do you mean when you say each key acts as an “Amiibo” to unlock any game functionality?What ”special moves'”does each PolkaPet NFT represent on Polkadot projects that corresponds to their projects characters?And what kind of education are you driving at to provide revenue and marketing opportunities for upcoming projects?Is the education you aim to provide like a form of classes where upcoming projects can learn from? Please kindly explain. Thanks

Thanks

  21. A few days ago you shared with the PolkaPet community the announcement of a PETS token airdrop, where you will distribute a gift of 24 PETS tokens for each and every first edition Polkapets NFT we hold. It’s a wonderful way to reward PolkaPet early supporters. What day will this airdrop take place? What are the other requirements besides having the NFT in our wallet? What day was the wallet snapshot taken?

  22. Reading through your article,I noticed you have a good list ways of rewarding HOLDERS of $PET/NFTs through airdrops.In the rules under your airdrops,you made mention that Duplicate PolkaPets are eligible for the airdrop.I tend to wonder,What is your reason of having Duplicate of PolkaPets?And you made mention of “OG” bonuses can you also explain what it means?The airdrop is schedule to be conducted on the Moon River network,but no detail guidance about it yet.Please kindly share with us the guidance on how we Satoshi Clubbers can join and be eligible for the rewards.

  23. Polkadot has been trending lately, but what is the connection between Polkadot and PolkaPet? Is “Polka” in the name PolkaPet a term inspired by Polkadot? What kind of future do you think Polkadot is helping to prepare for the $PETS token, why is Polkadot for the $PETS token did u choose? What do you think are the biggest advantages of Polkadot among other chains?

  24. There are many PET projects in today’s market, will PolkaPet fight with other PET projects or do they have a relationship or partnership? What are your competitive advantages that can differentiate PolkaPet in case of a possible war with other PET projects?

  25. Does PolkaPets work with famous collectors in the current market? How do you assure NFT collectors and players to prefer PolkaPets platform? What does PolkaPets do to secure NFT collectors’ artifacts and prevent them from being stolen or copied?

  26. How important are communities to the PolkaPets platform? Do you think the community plays a fundamental role in PolkaPets, does your community have a say in the management of PolkaPets? Does PolkaPets have a plan or a study to provide value to pet owners?

  27. I read that each partner has their own PolkaPet that they can use to educate and engage owners through special utilities and benefits, could you specify what kind of unique utilities and benefits can be offered thanks to PolkaPets, if each NFT will be useful in both platforms, i.e. yours and your partners and tell us what will determine the value of each PolkaPets card collection?

  29. You have introduced PolkaPet as “a unique NFT concept that encourages participation in the Polkadot ecosystem”. Generally, there are some investors who are not actually interested in crypto currency or NFTs, but seeking for some opportunities to make some money. Do PolkaPet allow that type of investors? If yes, please explain active/passive income opportunities available on your platform. If no, do you assure that PolkaPet will be able to achieve a huge success just with NFT lovers?

  30. From the total $PETS supply, you have allocated 1% for angel, 3% for seed, 7.5% for private sale 1 and 8% for private sale 2. Why didn’t you plan a public sale? A public sale is a great opportunity for both projects and investors to raise funds from general public and to purchase tokens at a cheap price. Did you think about any alternative for the public sale? Further, what was the reason for planning two private sales? Normally, private sales are open for a limited number of participants. Is there a specific reason to allocate a considerable portion of 15.5% from the total supply for public sales?

  31. I noticed that you are going to introduce a feature called “ProtoPets” in the next month. Is it a new game or a card collection?

Do you hope to grab the attention of pet lovers or is there something beyond that?

  32. Passing through your litepaper, the following statement attracted my attention: “PolkaPets focus on driving education and participation in the Polkadot ecosystem while providing revenue and marketing opportunities for upcoming projects”.
    Seems like you have already built a plan for upcoming events related to Polka. Please tell us more on what will they look like. Will it be the same NFT based projects or you’re planning to add smth new to your portfolio? Thank you!

  33. You are also planning to add a set of mini games next year. Please share more information on these games. Will they be somehow connected to Polka Pet World ecosystem? Will the same NFT drive the gameplay in these mini games? What advantages and perks have you foreseen for those who prefer mini games?

  34. I read in your whitepaper that one of the focuses of PolkaPet is the community, among the community there is an important point that is the ambassadors program.

What are some of these benefits that users can obtain through this model and thanks to each of your strategic partners?

  44. I read that the $PETS token is the utility token for the PolkaPet ecosystem and that it can be used for Staking, Governance and Play-to-gain. So, could you tell us how many tokens at least we need to participate in Staking, Governance and Play-to-gain, how much would be the percentage of profit for each amount of token used and tell us how you will manage to maintain a stable economy and avoid that whales and bots affect the value of $PETS?

  45. Each PolkaPets NFT represents a project on Polkadot so we can mine their token with its NFT. PolkaPets has more than 21 partners, so are the function same for all? If no, can you list each function of the NFTs?

  46. PolkaPets has governance system that allow us to vote some aspects, but I know its not simple as it to be a governor. Can you explain us how to be governor in PolkaPets? And what can we get if we be governor?

  47. Many crypto gaming project has a mechanism that who that paid for it can win the game (Pay to Win), and it’s so incriminating some player that just want to enjoy the game. Are PolkaPets use that mechanism? What can free player earn from PolkaPets ?
