MoneyTime x Satoshi Club AMA Recap from 28th of June

Hello, Satoshi clubbers! Another AMA took place in Satoshi Club and we would like to introduce to you the AMA session with our friends from MoneyTime and our guests were @ClutchMoneyTime and @son_money. The AMA took place on 28 June.

The AMA session was divided into 3 parts with a total crypto reward pool of 500$

In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Telegram community

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello again, dear community!

Today our guests are @ClutchMoneyTime @son_money!

Son Money: Hello everyone! It’s a real pleasure to be here with you today

Mary | Satoshi Club: Welcome here 👏

Clutch Money: Hi thank for having us

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Hello and welcome to Satoshi Club, @ClutchMoneyTime @son_money!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: How are you doing 😊

Mary | Satoshi Club: As everyone is here we can start our AMA 🚀

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: We are very excited about the upcoming AMA, and you?

Mary | Satoshi Club: And as usually we will start with intro 👏

Son Money:은Very well thank you! A bit Excited to share this project with you 🙂

Mary | Satoshi Club: We would like to ask you to introduce yourself and tell us more about MoneyTime 🥳

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Introduce yourself please. How did you get to be involved in crypto & MoneyTime? Tell us please about your position in MoneyTime?

Clutch Money: Moneytime.finance is a yield farming platform running on Binance Smart Chain with a unique price-positive token economic design. The project is funded and created by a team originally building DeFi on Ethereum, but since 2021 has been solely shifted to Binance Smart Chain due to its promising future: True open finance for everyone, not only ETH whales.

There is a gaping hole in the BSC ecosystem for a quality yield platform that incentivizes long-term sustainability over short-term pump-n-dump mentality.

We realize that to achieve this, we need to re-think the whole yield-farming approach that usually focuses on the early hours and days of the product over the long-term.

Secondly, we need to counter-balance inflation (a necessary mechanism for yield platforms) by having users stake & hold the native token for pre-determined time periods and so reduce sell-side volatility bursts.

We wanted to create a mechanism for rewarding behaviors that contribute to the sustainability of the platform by solving the above two points, and Moneytime.finance is the product of these goals in mind.

On the surface, it‘s a yield platform like any other. But in reality, the tokenomics are set up in such a way that it will look and operate differently from the rest of the marketplace.

In short, we believe Moneytime has amazing product-market fit, that will not only be rewarding for our own users but also for Binance Smart Chain as a whole!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: This is very promising👍

Mary | Satoshi Club: What about MoneyTime team? How big is it? Are you public or anonymous?😀

Clutch Money: We are mainly a team of dev from the ETH network and with the BSC ecosystem growing this fast, we are excited to launch in BSC and eventually cross chain with Polygon and ETH Network

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks a lot for the intro! 😃

Son Money: We are 4 founders and we prefer to stay anonymous for the moment, as most of projects here in BSC.

Clutch Money: Your welcome!

Mary | Satoshi Club: Got it😀

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: we will have a question selected for the Part 1. ready to start?

Clutch Money:  Sure!

Q1 from Telegram user   @meml97

I read that in order for MoneyTime Finance to be different, you will be implementing a new kind of mechanism you created yourself, can you tell us more about this mechanism? What is it called? How does this new mechanism exactly work and how will it help you on your purpose of re-think the whole yield-farming approach that usually focuses on the early hours and days? Also, what are the biggest advantages users will get from MoneyTime implementing this mechanism instead of any other we already know?

Son Money: Yes we did and I can say even more than a mechanism we created a whole token economic unique to itself and designed purposefully for the greater of the project in short, medium, and long term. Our mission is to a bring a safe and optimal decentralized income opportunity for user’s, without compromising the prosperity of the project, this is how we ended to create this strategy of positive price performance on top of great yield.

We solve this by rewarding LPs according to their staking length, to counter-balance inflation by incentivizing users to stake & hold the native token instead of selling.  User’s stake their $TIME token for a specific length of time and cannot mint their rewards until the full time has been served. The longer the pool’s, the higher the rewards. he system has open buy-side pressure (because users buy the token to participate), but sell-side pressure keeps getting retarded and neglected.

In summary, Stakers who lock up their reward token in moneytime.finance benefit greatly, especially for longer stakes. This in turn has great impact on the price stability of the token, because it removes sell pressure and promotes longer-term holding behaviour!

TIME POOLS

 

Farming Pools

Staking Pools

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: this is a fairly original model👍

Mary | Satoshi Club: When we will be able to try this and see how it works?

Son Money: It is!!

Clutch Money: in less than 48 hours! Here’s a countdown

http://moneytime.finance

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Your developers did a good job!

Mary | Satoshi Club: Wow! It’s near!

Thank you for your answers! Ready to proceed?😀

Clutch Money: yes!

Q2 from Telegram User @andrey_seleznov

Hi MONEYTIME !

It is great to see that MONEYTIME takes security seriously! I know that you applied for an audit by one of the top auditors – Certik. But with your launch date being so near it is probably not realistic to expect Certic to finish the certification by then. Will this potentially affect your launch date? How do you plan to fix any issues that the audit may find if your contact is already deployed? Thank you!

Clutch Money:   

The security of our project is our top priority and we chose CERTIK because of their great work. The CERTIK team did gave us a certification dead line that correspond to the date of launch. However, if there should be some delays it would be for few days only and it won’t affect launch date. We are working hands in hands with them to make this audit certified as quick as possible but we also want to make sure that it is done correctly.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Safety first👍

Mary | Satoshi Club: Did you apply only for audit or also for Certik shield?

Clutch Money: We also have rugdoc that is engaged for quick check on hard rug codes

https://leaderboard.certik.io/projects/moneytime

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Please don’t forget to share with Satoshi Clubbers😉

Oh thanks😊

this is a very important point indeed.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Actually, Safe Dollar which was exploited twice was also quick checked by RugDoc…

https://twitter.com/safedollarfi/status/1405050647565668355?s=19

Clutch Money: Hope the same won’t happen to us.

Mary | Satoshi Club: They marked them with high risk now, but…

I hope as well👍did you thought about any kind of insurance?😀

Clutch Money: We ran a wide range of test on our platform, we putted security on top of our development.

Mary | Satoshi Club: That’s great!

Clutch Money: Not for the moment it is a possibility we are ready to explore

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thank you for your honest answer and for a serious approach to this issue! Ready for the next question or want to add something?

Clutch Money: Ultimately we are here for the long term and we are always more than willing to put our codes to the test so that public can farm with ease and also earn their trust

Mary | Satoshi Club: Awesome 👍

Son Money: ready for next question

Q3 from Telegram user @DK177

You have mentioned about six pools of staking $TIME. According to you, these pools have been introduced with different timers to reduce sell-side preassure. Since your platform is new, users may opt for pools with short time periods with the intension of going for greater rewards of long time periods later. How can you face this kind of situation? Although the concept of time pools is fine, do you think it will practically help to reduce the selling pressure? Do you depend only on these pools or do you have possible alternatives to face a sell-off situation?

Son Money: Well first of the Time Pools are designed to be more rewarding the for the longer pools,  to incite people to invest on long-term reward pools. Itself is the first guard against sell pressure, the longer you keep your $TIME or $MONEY staked and the more you earn. The system of harvest lockups is radically new so it’s to the users to decide.

 Than we worked out a sustainable tokenomic to incite people to invest on long-term reward pools. We have our specially designed mechanism to prevent from sell pressure, from transaction fees, to smart token redistribution that emphases on buy back & burn and locking liquidity forever and we have the emergency burn fund to give us a tool in time of exceptional sell pressure for time when simultaneous rewards get unlock for exemple.

Clutch Money:

Time Pools

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Tell us please about your tokenomics btw

Mary | Satoshi Club: So, what i will need to do to farm? First steps?

Son Money: You will need to add liquidity to earn $TIME. Then with those $TIME you will be able to stake in the Time pools to earn $MONEY

Clutch Money: Yes, in MoneyTime we have 2 tokens : $Time & $Money. $Time dont have value or trading purpose, it’s what we call a “Tool Token”. To be able to earn $MONEY reward, you need to stake $TIME token.

Stake $TIME earn $MONEY.

The token economic of MoneyTime is different from a classic farming system. Here the rewards are “delayed” to avoid excessive compound and massive sell pressure. What we call Price positive token is the results of a study of a specific token economic build on Delayed reward, BuyBack, Burn, and Smart fees redistribution.

Mary | Satoshi Club: You will always have only six pools or plan to add more?

And btw, will you have any governance system?😀

Clutch Money: We do have plans to add more we are curious to see the commnunity return about it we will consider their suggestions.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: this is a good strategy! the community is the engine of the project! 👌

Son Money: When we will go Cross chain, the utility of a governance system would be clearer and we will consider implement it!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: thanks a lot for the answers! ready for the next question?

Mary | Satoshi Club: We will wait for updates ☺️

Son Money: We sure are!!

Q4 fromTelegram User @surendra040

Moneytime.finance was funded initially by a team originally building Defi on Ethereum but since 2021 it has been solely shifted to BSC . What is the reason for dropping off ETH network? Since the ETH fees at current period is low will you expand your project in ETH again and other chain like polygon, solana etc. Also many BSC platform projects are lacking long term sustainability and one of the problem in BSC ecosystem is pump and dump mentality, what are the solutions that Moneytime.Finance has that it claims to be rewarding not only for users but also for BSC as a whole?

Clutch Money: We are developpers that are from ETH, but for this project we developed it completely for the Binance Smart Chain.

Our project was developped and designe solely for BSC, however, the expansion to other blockchains such as ETH, Fantom and Polygon Network is a part of our plan for the future. We want to become a reference Cross-Chain Yield farm platform.

 To overcome the problem of pump and dump, we have set up a whole tokenomics designed to reward long term users along with our price positive token strategy with Delayed reward, BuyBack, Burn, and Smart fees redistribution and more.

Mary | Satoshi Club: When cross chain yield farming will be implemented?😀

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: By the way, please share your roadmap😊

Son Money: https://moneytime.gitbook.io/timeismoney-fi/

Here you go! 🙂

Clutch Money: We will take a decision for the last quarter of the year.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks for sharing ☺️

Mary | Satoshi Club: Not so long to wait😀

Thank you for your answers! Ready to jump to the next question?

Son Money: Always!

Q5 from Telegram User @Pratze

Partnership always give big contribution to make project bigger and have great benefit for your developing project and user who participate in your platform. So your first partner is IceCreamSwap, may i know what the reason of choosing partnership with them? Because as i know there are a lot of swap BSC project out there? And what are your plan regarding new partner in near future?

Son Money: Partnership and collaboration are important for the MoneyTime team because it gives the opportunity to grow together and bring more to the DeFi space. We believe collaboration is the way to stay sustainable and become a reference in DeFi space. This is why we think that marketing and communication are important to work this is why we are working on the Airdrop Initial Program Partner : ( https://moneytime.gitbook.io/timeismoney-fi/project-overview/partnership-program-+airdrop   ) .  

We already have 2 partners regarding this program, IceCreamSwap and TinVille, we are still looking for partner and more are coming soon before launch. The goal with this program its too give the opportunity to others users to try the farming system with delayed reward features and bring more visibility on the project and the innovative token economic. We know users dont like Airdrop this is why, we though about a Marketing way using Airdrop but without hurting the token economic or money holders! Our marketing partnership consist of Airdrop of $Time token to others project holders so they can stake $Time to earn $Money! But here’s the thing, you can harvest your $Money reward in TimeBool by staking $TIME, but after you collect your reward’s 100% of your $TIME token are burned, so you need to go in farming pool, add liquidity and earn $TIME again!

We believe partnership are important, what we want as marketing and communication strategy its that $Money farmers can already earn others token project by staking the LP in others platform like Tinville or IceCreamswap for the moment, more partner participate to initial airdrop more platform are accesible to money farmers for earn a Token Partner! We believe the way to go its to give multiple use case to $MONEY token.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thank you very much for such a detailed answer.👍

Mary | Satoshi Club: You will give airdrop to all your partners tokenholders or only to those, who will fill the form?

Clutch Money: Yes to official partners of our Airdrop Program

And we almost forgot to add FOXYNFT as our newest partner!

Mary | Satoshi Club: So, those who have for example GLTO tokens don’t have to do something, they will get TIME tokens as airdrop without any actions?

Congratulations 👏

Son Money: Exactly, there will be an airdrop directly to their wallet without any actions

Mary | Satoshi Club: Thank you!

That’s great 😍

Son Money: Thank you very much!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: Thanks! it is very convenient👏

Q6 from Telegram User @NataliyaKil

One of the tools that MoneyTime offers its users is the Emergency Burn Fund. Is this entirely developed by the MoneyTime team? What is this tool and what is the purpose of its creation? What other unique tools does MoneyTime offer to its community?

Clutch Money: The Emergency Burn Fund is one of the tools that MoneyTime use to prevent from deflationary pressure on the token. It has been entirely developed by the MoneyTime team and for the MoneTime.Finance project.

It will be used in times where buy-side pressure is needed, for example in days where major stakes ends and big rewards are expected to be minted. This fund will then be used to market buy $MONEY and immediately burning it to offset the selling pressure.

We do this by collecting 2% from the deposit fees from LPs (only for non-$MONEY TIME POOLS) and using it to market buy-and-burn $MONEY. 🔥

https://moneytime.gitbook.io/timeismoney-fi/tokenomics/emergency-burn-fund

Son Money:

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: you have great infographics, I dare say 👌

Mary | Satoshi Club: So, it will start to fill from the first day of the launch?

Clutch Money: Yup from day 1

Mary | Satoshi Club: Super!

Nice system😀

Thank you for your answers, guys! Now we came close to the live part 😃

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from telegram username @Chinthaka93

HOW TO JOIN YOUR TIME AIDROP PARTNER PROGRAM? Is this still running and how can we join this airdrop?

@ClutchMoneyTime @son_money!

Son Money : Yes it is still running ! You can join by filling our form right here:

https://moneytime.gitbook.io/timeismoney-fi/project-overview/partnership-program-+airdrop

Q2  from telegram username @Sharaylug

What are the sophisticated techniques to optimize and amplify yields farming with MoneyTime?

Clutch Money: $Time Stakers who deposit in long term Time Pools benefit greatly. We have specially designed mechanism to incite people to invest on long-term reward pools. Then after is to the user to DYOR and come up with their personalized strategy to amplify their yields with MoneyTime.😉

Q3 from telegram username @sweetdoge

You mentioned here on AMA you have 4 founders on the project. So do you plan to add more people into the team, how to apply it?

Clutch Money: Yes and we already did hire some community manager to help us with prelaunch and we believe that we may need some more help for after launch. You can apply by asking an admin in the group if you can DM and someone shall assist you.

Q4 from telegram username @najjaka

You’ve showed pictures of MoneyTime farms. (Yield, Staking and Time farms)

I’ve seen a lot of projects with Yield and Staking farms. But never seen any with Time farms.

How Time farms work and are they better/safer to get more profit?

Son Money : User stake $TIME token in one of the six pool, each pool has a different timer which the user have to wait out before being able to harvest their $MONEY reward. The longer the user stakes the tool token $TIME, the greater the reward. This greatly reduces sell-side pressure and helps create a long-term viable yield platform

The social benefit of this is users who are locked-in for a specific time period are more likely to promote the token and play more active roles within the community: it’s in their own self-interest to protect their investment.

Q5 from telegram username @meml97

🧨     It caught my attention that MoneyTime has this feature called “Money Printer”, can you tell us more about it? How does this feature really work? How can users take fully advantage of it? How much fee % is charge to users when they use this MoneyPrinter? I also saw that it has a 9X multiplier reward option, how can people use it? Are there any risks associated with the used of this feature if it’s not done with caution? @ClutchMoneyTime @son_money

Clutch Money:

Yes! the MoneyPrinter Pools is a very innovative Staking section of our project.

In the MoneyPrinter Pools you can stake $MONEY to earn more $MONEY .

$MONEY Reward locked for the first 72h,

if a user Withdraw before 72h in the MONEY PRINTER, 5% fee is charged on the withdrawal to be burned & No $MONEY rewards are minted .

The  MoneyPrinter Pools have a 9X Multiplier reward, giving it a better APY than other Staking Pools.

Q6 from telegram username @Rakshitx5

Hey @ClutchMoneyTime @son_money

There are already many staking pools in the market. Why Investors should choose your pool? Which feature Money.Time provides that others don’t?

Clutch Money: Yes indeed, and there are new project launching left and right every week, often copy+Paste yield farms with no regard to the benefit of the users. Bad token economics cause projects to be abandoned very early on, with only a few early users and developers profiting from the scheme.

The native reward tokens get harvested as quickly as possible and immediately dumped on the open market, accelerating the token’s value towards zero.

We aim to solve this issue, to do this, we need to counter-balance inflation by incentivizing users to stake & hold the native token instead of selling. We solve this by rewarding LPs according to their staking length – they commit to stake their $TIME token for a specific length of time and cannot mint their rewards until the full time has been served.

MoneyTime.Finance is designed with one purpose in mind: to create positive price performance on top of great yield.

Q7 from telegram username @Aquamend

Sir,

According to your roadmap, there are less than 3 days for the launch. It is a great plessure to know you are going for a technical audit and an economic audit. The problem is, official results of these audits were not announced yet. In this situation my question is : Did you complete the audits and waiting for the results? Will you be able to get them within remaining 3 days? Or are you just planning to go for the said audits in the future? When and where will these audit reports be available? Until the availability of these records, how can we trust you and invest in $MONEY?

Son Money : CERTIK gave us a certification dead line that correspond to the date of launch. We are doing everything that is in our power to get this certification done as quick as possible

Q8 from telegram username @shone1994

do you think icecreamswap is easier than pancake swap to your network bsc?

Clutch Money: Great question, we actually had some more collaboration and closeness to the team of IceCream Swap than we think we would’ve had with PancakeSwap for exemple. They helped us also with their larger experience on BSC than we had at the time of the development of the project witch ended to be really useful help for us.

Q9 from telegram username @cindy_crypto

In order to allow true open finance for everyone what do you think of centralized built of Binance Smart Chain? Do you plan to move another blockchain like Ethereum in the future?

Clutch Money: Yes we do plan to develop cross chain we already have Polygon Network and ETH in sight and we are open to consider development on Fantom and Layer 2. Decision will be made for the last quarter of the year, but for the first month’s of MoneyTime.Finance, the project will only be available on BSC!

Q10  from telegram username @afmfmff

💥Have you developed or are you planning to develop a program for ambassadors so that your project can attract more people????

Son Money : Yes we are actually seeking for influencers on many social medias like youtube and twitter because we want to put the emphasis on our community support.

Support to the commmunity is such an important aspect often overviewed by most of project. Like we were saying earlier Defi is such a new environment that it is only normal that a lot of users and newcomers are not totally familiar to yield farming and staking opportunities. It sometimes feel’s like the Far West out there.

We are also aware of the tight complexity of MoneyTime’s tokenomic and functionalities, so we think it is important to give new and experiences users intuitive visual’s and tutorial to help them understand how to use and what are the benefit of MoneyTime.Finance and also to the whole bsc ecosystem overall. We will have a set of tutorials ready for the prelaunch and then we will publish some visual’s like short videos/anime, explanatory pictures and other content to publish around diverse the social media to reach a large audience and offer them clever content.

Part 3 – Quiz Results

As usual, for the third part, Satoshi Club Team asked the chat 4 questions about the crypto project. A link to a Quiz form was sent into the chat.

YSL.io x Satoshi Club AMA Recap from 21st of June

Welcome to another episode of our AMA series. Today we are glad to tell you about the AMA session with our friends fromYSL.IO, a cutting-edge DeFi tool designed to OPTIMISE & AMPLIFY returns from yield farming platforms through sophisticated techniques. The AMA took place on June 21 and our guests was Hardev Dhillon, the Co-Founder of YSL.IO.

The total reward pool was 500$ and was divided into three parts. In this AMA Recap we will try to summarize some of the most interesting points for you.


PART 1, INTRODUCTION AND COMMUNITY QUESTIONS

Mary | Satoshi Club: Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with ISL.IO! Welcome to Satoshi Club.

Hardev️YSL.IO: Hello @madamlobster! Great to be here, thanks for having me!

Mary | Satoshi Club: We are happy to see you here as well! We want to know about ISL.IO as much as possible.

Hardev️YSL.IO: Look forward to sharing insights of YSL.IO with the Satoshi CLU₿ Community!

Mary | Satoshi Club: Could you tell us more about yourself and your role at ISL.IO and of course introduce us this awesome project.

Hardev️YSL.IO:  I’d be happy to! I am Hardev Dhillon, the Co-Founder of YSL.IO

‌I’ll begin with a brief background on myself; I’m a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) with a professional background in Finance, Accounting and Business, specialising in Financial Risk Management and Advanced Taxation (I love numbers!). I have broad experience across banking/accounting (HSBC, Westpac, KPMG, and Deloitte), which has allowed me to appreciate the importance of driving error-free standards for compliance, develop strategic plans for transformation, and create risk frameworks for the evaluation of a range of sectors/functions.

Simran Dhillon (@simran_ysl), is the other Co-Founder of YSL.IO. Just to give you a quick background on him; Simran has diverse professional background across IT and Business, and has notable industry experience with companies such as Microsoft and HSBC. More importantly, he is a crypto veteran that has garnered significant experience within the crypto space, both as a programmer and working in the background as an advisor for a number of Blockchain projects including Zencash (which is now known as Horizen).

In addition to @simran_ysl and myself, we have a dedicated team of 7 blockchain developers + 1 UI/UX designers that are focused on the development of our smart contracts and platform. Each of them are experts within their respective fields and are all busy working their magic behind the scenes ✨  to ensure we can deliver the best possible version of YSL.IO for our11k+ community. We also have a marketing team that are hard at work, drumming up informative materials that will help spread awareness of our unique concept. Here’s a quick overview of what YSL.IO stands for and some of our stand-out features:

YSL.IO 💎 = [ ⭐️ Yield + 💗 Staking + 🌊 Liquidity] = 🚀

YSL.IO is a cutting-edge DeFi tool designed to OPTIMISE and AMPLIFY the returns from yield farming platforms, whilst maximising the benefits of LOCKED LIQUIDITY to create a truly unparalleled token economy.

  • ‌Zero Platform Fees – YSL.IO does not charge a Deposit fee, Withdrawal fee or a Performance fee
  • ‌Novel Tokenomics – The governance token of YSL.IO (sYSL) is correlated to YSL-BUSD Locked Liquidity
  • Continual Growth in Locked Liquidity – Our protocol autonomously creates YSL-BUSD Locked Liquidity
  • Automated Buy-Backs – sYSL token holders and YSL-BUSD liquidity providers can stake their tokens to earn a share of the monthly buy-back.
  • Maximized APR (%) – Our protocol will OPTIMISE positions (held on AMMs) by 300%.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Thank you, very detailed intro did you develop ISL.IO for a long time?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: We’ve been working on YSL.IO since the beginning of 2021.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Why did you decide to create cutting-edge DeFi tool? Why this direction?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: The idea for YSL.IO initially started after of the emergence of number of product-focused systems popping up in DeFi, and @simran_ysl and myself found ourselves drawn to the inner-workings and mechanics behind these systems, inspiring us to build one of our own.  We both had a good understanding of the yield farming space, being ‘farmers’ ourselves, and decided early on that our concept had to not only be unique but also be able deliver real value to the BSC ecosystem. Our ethos was simple; provide value to a DeFi farmer and ensure long-term value for our native token holders. After months of trial and error, testing countless hypotheses and perfecting models, we created the unique protocol design of YSL.IO.

Q1 from Telegram user @Highpee

The private and public sale of $sYSL starts on July 1st and you said there will be no whitelist as everyone is welcome to participate. What token will user deposit in order to buy $sYSL and how long will presale last? On what platform will it take place? And since the first month of launch is tagged the Price Discovery Phase, which means $sYSL will have no price during presale, how will investors know the amount of $sYSL to receive and what will you use to differentiate private and public investors? How will you set the presale fund to be raised? And lastly, I read that bought $sYSL will only be released to investors 30 days after presale. Does it mean that there will be no way investors will able to interact with your protocol for the first 30 days of launch since only $sYSL can act as the governance token that grants access to your cutting-edge yield optimisation services and reward?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: A user can provide WBNB or BUSD, there is no presale only a private sale + public sale that lasts a total of 30 days. Public sale participants have a higher bonus multiplier and a higher min deposit. The sYSL will be available for withdrawal immediately after the price discovery (when the platform launches) not 30 days.

sYSL tokens will only be available to purchase after 30 days. Remember that sYSL is tied to YSL-BUSD liquidity, so once the platform launches and the TVL on YSL.IO increases, YSL-BUSD liquidity will increase, this will cause the price of the sYSL token to increase. SO DONT MISS OUT ON THE PUBLIC + PRIVATE SALE!

For all the details, please refer to our Gitbookhttps://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/ysl-core-protocol/price-discovery-participation

Mary | Satoshi Club: Everything will happen on your site?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: That’s correct!

Here’s a preview of the sale page.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Got it! I like that everyone will have a chance.

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: https://t.me/Satoshi_club/932002

That’s right! Our private and public sale is open to all, there’s no whitelist and everyone is welcome to participate! We are also running a referral bonus program during the price discovery phase, where you can earn 10% on the contribution made by those you refer. So if you were to refer someone that had a $60k contribution you would get back $6k worth of sYSL tokens at the end of the discovery phase.

Luis Merino 🇪🇸 | Satoshi Club: Can you share your tokenomics with us, please?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Sure, so there are 3 key components to our token economy:

‌⚡️ YSL token – Utility 💎 sYSL token – Governance  🌊 YSL-BUSD liquidity pool – Held on ApeSwap Finance

The key thing to know about our tokenomic model is that the price of the sYSL token is tied to YSL-BUSD locked liquidity, and we have designed the YSL.IO protocol to create YSL-BUSD locked liquidity whenever a user interacts with the platform. In other words; as users begin to use YSL.IO, the TVL of the platform increases, the more YSL-BUSD locked liquidity is created, and the greater the price of the sYSL token! 🚀

YSL.IO TVL = YSL-BUSD locked liquidity = sYSL token price ⏫

The initial token supply for YSL & sYSL will be determined upon the conclusion of the 30-day price discovery phase.

The initial supply for the sYSL token will be dependent upon the amount of bonus value created from the bonus multiplier, the sum total of the referral bonus and the sum total of BUSD collected.

The protocol will mint YSL tokens equivalent to 50% of the BUSD collected (sent as liquidity to establish the YSL-BUSD pool on ApeSwap Finance), so the initial supply of the YSL token will be dependent upon the sum total of BUSD collected at the end of the price discovery phase.

All the details on our unique tokenomics model can be found in our Gitbookhttps://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/ysl-core-protocol/tokenomics

Q2 from Telegram user @orlemys

 You have mentioned that YSL.IO will be fully operational at launch. Can you walk us through the steps for using your platform? You have also mentioned that there will be zero platform fees, zero deposit fees, and zero withdrawal fees. This is a bit confusing. How will you generate income for your holders? What are the exact benefits users get from holding your token long-term? Why haven’t we seen zero% fees like this from major protocols? What kind of methods/technology are you using?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: We have dedicated a lot of effort to ensure the design of our interface is not only engaging but is extremely user friendly to even the most novice of DeFi users.

✅ JUST DEPOSIT AND EARN – A user simply needs to deposit LP tokens into any of our active vaults and our protocol will handle all the heavy lifting of maximising your returns by 300%, it’s that simple! 👍🏼

✅ TUTORIALS –  We have created guided tutorials that provide easy-to-follow steps and walk you through how to use the platform 👉https://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/more-information/tutorials.

Our protocols revenue is sourced from four aspects:

  1. Optimisation – An equivalent of 2% collected from the APR (%) of the token being optimized.
  2. sYSL exit fee -An equivalent of 2% collected when sYSL is sold.
  3. sYSL entrance fee – An equivalent of 2% collected when sYSL is purchased.
  4. Inflation block reward – 20% allocation, distributed on each block.

The revenue collected will go towards ongoing operational expenses, including maintenance/development of the protocol, remuneration for engineers/developers, and to cover expenditures for ongoing audits and marketing. The mechanism behind how these are collected can be found in our Gitbook (👉https://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/)

It’s important to note that those that stake in the sYSL vault & YSL-BUSD vault will also benefit from these four aspects:

  1. Optimisation – An equivalent of 8% collected from the APR (%) of the token being optimised – Contributed to the MONTHLY BUY-BACK.
  2. sYSL exit fee -An equivalent of 8% collected when sYSL is sold – – Contributed to the MONTHLY BUY-BACK.
  3. sYSL entrance fee – An equivalent of 8% collected when sYSL is purchased –  Contributed to the MONTHLY BUY-BACK.
  4. Inflation block reward – 80% allocation (50% to the YSL-BUSD vault & 30% to the sYSL vault), distributed on each block.

So all sYSL holders that stake their tokens in the sYSL vault will benefit from the automated monthly buy-back, as well as YSL-BUSD liquidity providers that stake their LP token in the YSL-BUSD vault.

These are the benefits of holding the sYSL token in the long term:

1️⃣ Block Rewards!

As mentioned before, those that stake in the sYSL vault and/or YSL-BUSD vault will earn a share of the AUTOMATED MONTHLY BUY-BACK and INFLATION REWARDS that are distributed on each new block! 🤩

2️⃣ sYSL is tied to YSL-BUSD locked liquidity!

As the TVL of the platform increases with more users, the more YSL-BUSD locked liquidity is created, the greater the price of the sYSL token! 🚀 Not only that, the increase in locked liquidity will also create a progressive price floor for the token and mitigate its exposure to price volatility!

YSL.IO TVL = YSL-BUSD locked liquidity = sYSL token price ⏫

3️⃣ Cross-Chain Airdrops!

Each time we launch onto a new chain we will airdrop 15% of the new token supply to those staking in the sYSL vault.

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: strategy 2 however will require the user to have a certain amount of aYSL tokens. Here’s a great article by BSC times that explains everything you need to know 👉https://bsctimes.com/ysl-io-optimising-amplifying-your-farming-returns/

Q3 from Telegram user @victorogb

YSL through it innovative and novel optimization and amplification features offers a user breathtaking returns on third party tokens up to 300%. With emphasis on YSL’s amplification feature, where a user’s optimised returns can be amplified via two strategies; 1% APR optimization for Strategy 1 and an additional 100% APR optimization for Strategy 2, can you explain how the protocol effectively carries out these operations, and why is there a huge disparity with optimised APR returns with both strategies, why is the amplification token (sYSL) only issued to users who utilise strategy 2, and can a user simultaneously utilise both strategies?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: I’ll keep my answer brief this time 😅. Strategy 2 consists of different tiers which will see a user’s farming APR boosted by a minimum of 2% to a maximum of 100%. Activating strategy 2 however will require the user to have a certain amount of aYSL tokens. Here’s a great article by BSC times that explains everything you need to know 👉https://bsctimes.com/ysl-io-optimising-amplifying-your-farming-returns/.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Which will be minimum amount of aYSL to apply for strategy 2?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: The amplification APR (%) for Strategy 2 starts at 2% APR.

To attain the +2% APR a user must hold aYSL tokens equivalent to 8% of their TVL held on YSL.IO (excluding the sYSL and YSL-BUSD vaults).  So for if your TVL is $100, you’d need to hold aYSL tokens equivalent to $8 for the +2% APR If a user provides a lower amount, the protocol will activate Strategy 1 by default.

Mary | Satoshi Club: Will users be able to get aYSL tokens only with WBNB or BUSD in liquidity pool or you can add more currencies?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: We have a guided tutorial on how to obtain aYSL tokens for Strategy 2 here https://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/more-information/tutorials/how-to-amplify/strategy-2-amplification

Q4 from Telegram user @Asela1112

I read about a big partnership with Peanut trade platform on your medium article, gives an airdrop to $NUX holders and autonomously creates YSL-BUSD locked liquidity. Only 9 days left to YSL.IO vaults to go live. So what are the limitations & eligible Conditions to participate NUX community airdrop on 30th of June? How will NUX community earn sYSL optimisation block rewards? As well as I’m curious to know, why did you give this airdrop to $NUX community besides your own YSL.IO community? How do you deploy innovative methods & strategies to be well established platform with peanut trade platform? How do YSL.IO community feel about this great Partnerships? Will there be more partnerships in future within YSL.IO platform?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: That’s right! we formed our first-ever strategic partnership with peanut.trade, whereby NUX-BNB liquidity providers will be able to benefit from our protocols novel optimisation function that autonomously creates YSL-BUSD locked liquidity, and we decided to show our appreciation by airdropping sYSL tokens to the NUX community.

To be included in the airdrop, NUX token holders are required to hold a minimum balance of 100 NUX at the time of the snapshot. The snapshot will be conducted on June 25th 12pm (UTC).

I’m not sure if you had a chance to read our latest medium article 👉https://medium.com/ysl-io/ysl-io-x-apeswap-buidl-partnership-the-big-guide-9ebb93503b47

We were lucky enough to have been accepted into the ApeSwap BUIDL program!  This is huge for YSL.IO in terms of increasing the awareness of our project, as they have a growing user base of over 400,000! Not only that, it will enable us to connect and form meaningful partnerships with other projects within the ApeSwap ecosystem!  You can also see the announcement the most recent #BUIDL newsletter 👉https://ape-swap.medium.com/buidl-newsletter-003-56f12fc0237c.

Mary | Satoshi Club: http://peanut.trade  our old friends I love this project.

Q5 from Telegram user @Ashia_24

The YSL.IO smart contracts will be deployed onto the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), As we all know, the majority of BSC projects are rug pulled, but why did you decide to develop on the BSC platform? What distinguishes you from other BSC projects? Have you considered expanding or developing your system on other networks such as Ethereum, Polkadot etc.?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: A lot of projects nowadays promise magic with just a whitepaper, but we believe in putting the horse in front of the cart and not the other way around 😂,

YSL.IO will be a full product launch! Our platform will be a fully operational with live vaults and will launch regardless of what is raised during our private & public sale, that’s one aspect that distinguishes us from other BSC projects The principal factor BSC was chosen as a prime location for the YSL.IO smart contracts, is the lower relative cost associated with gas fees. As a result, the protocol will have the capability to make more interactions and perform far more elaborate techniques than would have been possible on the Ethereum chain.  Having said that, we do anticipate a cross-integration with Ethereum in the near future once the current network congestion issues have been addressed. Until then, we have scheduled for a cross-integration with Polygon in Q4 2021!

You can find more details of what we’re planning in our roadmap 👉https://docs.ysl.io/ysl-io/protocol-governance-1/roadmap.

Mary | Satoshi Club: What about security audits? Did you already pass one?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Great question, it’s important to remain vigilant given the recent hacks and exploits within the BSC ecosystem.  Our protocols core system architecture and smart contract logic will undergo MULTIPLE EXTERNAL AUDITS before launching.  We plan to engage with well-known and reputable parties such as Certik and Zokyo.

Q6 from Telegram user @yellowchamp

In your roadmap, you aim to launch a YSL.IO Governance Integration, this coming 3rd quarter of 2021 in which you will have a preliminary version at early 3rd quarter and you will have a comprehensive version at later part. So, could you give us an advance idea about this Governance Integration that you are going to launch? Why you are dividing this into two versions? What can we expect with this community governance Integration with YSL? What will be the function and part of the community and holders in terms of decision-making and proposals in your platform? Do you plan to incentivise YSL holders and community if being actively participated with this community-governance integration? Thank you.

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: The primary reason we have decided to do this is because the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) model fundamentally requires an active community, the first phase of the community-governance function requires the establishment of a ground community, and this community will take time to establish.


PART 2, TELEGRAM COMMUNITY LIVE QUESTIONS

The chat was open for 120 seconds; a lot of questions were posted by Satoshi Club community. Our guest chose some of them.

Q1 from Telegram user @ktzieceee

I noticed that you held and will be holding multiple AMAs. What specifically are you promoting and how can the community and the AMA’s could help the YSL.IO projects?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: CAKE APY YIELDS (15/06/2021)

  • YSL.IO: 226.66%
  • Merlin: 200.63%
  • Beefy Finance: 111.42%
  • Autofarm Network: 110.14%

These are the sort of yields you can expect once we launch

Q2 from Telegram user @obulin

In the first segment of the AMA, you said ‘to be included in the airdrop, NUX token holders are required to hold a minimum balance of 100 NUX at the time of the snapshot.’ Where can I buy NUX token to participate in the sYSL token airdrop?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: You can purchase NUX form here:

Pancake: NUX/BNB

(https://exchange.pancakeswap.finance/#/swap?outputCurrency=0x6d8734002fbffe1c86495e32c95f732fc77f6f2a) Uniswap: NUX/ETH.  (https://v2.info.uniswap.org/pair/0x83054b25b21d1f3a2b96e8e3803dbd4921358d52) Gate: NUX/USDT.  (https://www.gate.io/trade/NUX_USDT) Gate: NUX/ETH

 (https://www.gate.io/trade/NUX_ETH) Hoo: NUX/USDT (https://hoo.com/spot/nux-usdt)MXC : NUX/USDT (https://www.mxc.com/trade/easy#NUX_USDT)

Q3 from Telegram user @ronaldo_super

What is special about YSL.IO Vaults? Why we should wait for it?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Highest APYs whilst locking away YSL-BUSD liquidity:

Our protocol has been designed to maximise the returns of third-party tokens through the creation of locked liquidity, optimising the APR (%) of positions held by users on AMMs (such as ApeSwap and PancakeSwap) by 300%!

For example – It will increase the APR of a user’s CAKE-BNB position on PancakeSwap from 58.29% to 173.67%!

Q4 from Telegram user @Rakshitx5

Is it not it will be the wrong decision to launch the project in this bear market? Every coin going down whether good or bad. How do you see this?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: I strongly believe that the key to real success as a token is to have the fundamentals down in terms of long-term stability and value for native token holders – something I’d say isn’t present in many of today’s tokens.

We have achieved this by designing a truly unique Tokenomics model that revolves around our protocols novel capability of autonomously creating YSL-BUSD locked liquidity. The benefit of this novel design is that even during a bear market, our optimisation function will be even more attractive due to its ability to provide high yields.

As during a bear market, farmers would likely switch their positions to stable coins which typically have low APR (%), and platforms that are able to offer greater returns on stable coin positions will increase in demand. For example; the BUSD-USDT farm on ApeSwap Finance currently yields an APR of 14.66%.  Traditional optimisation (harvesting + compounding daily) would only result in an APY of 15.79%.  Whereas YSL.IO optimisation is capable of obtaining an APY of 42.78% 🚀

This will not only guarantee our survival during a bear market, but will increase our market share + TVL. And as the TVL of the platform increases with more users, the more YSL-BUSD locked liquidity is created, the greater the price of the sYSL token! 🚀

⏫ YSL.IO TVL = YSL-BUSD liquidity =  ⏫ sYSL token price

Q5 from Telegram user @Xusuo

You will give airdrop sYSL token to your community, but if you don’t mind please share all the function that sYSL token have in your ecosystem. Can you mention all the benefit by having sYSL token?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Governance –  sYSL tokens will operate as the governance token for the YSL.IO platform, token holders will be able to vote on various proposals once the community-governance function is integrated. Staking – sYSL token holders will be able to stake their tokens in our sYSL vault.

Q6 from Telegram user @Asela1112

YSL.IO =(Yield+Staking+Liquidity) =🚀 provide optimistic & profitable mechanisms, without mitigating the price volatility for their community through the locked liquidity protocol. So it seems to be long term project consist with more incentives. How do you optimise & amplify yield farming for the investors? Can you tell us more details about sYSL vault & YSL- BUSD vault, needed for the staking? How long will the liquidity pool be locked? Is there AMM in your pool system to avoid mitigating $YSL price? So basically please explain how will these three scenarios implemented with an interconnection?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Liquidity which is created by the protocol will be locked away for 1000 years 🦾 furthermore we have partnered with ApeSwap to help with any potential migration of these locked tokens. So our sYSL price will remain SAFU.

Q7 from Telegram user @BJosefina61

How much fee do vaults take from users? and how many vaults do you plan to open for users in the short term?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: ❌ ZERO SWAP FEES

❌ ZERO DEPOSIT FEES

❌ ZERO WITHDRAWAL FEES

❌ ZERO PERFORMANCE FEES 

‌ApeSwap and PancakeSwap farms will be offer at launch.

Q8 from Telegram user @Sumione

Your platform has a zero fees for now. is it possible that Will you add some fees in the future or not?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: Zero fees for the user will remain until the community governing the protocol vote against it or for it.

Q9 from Telegram user @mobilejii

I cannot find any initial circulation supply tokenomics of YSL and sYSL which is really confusing. who know this?

Hardev⚡️YSL.IO: The initial token supply for both tokens will be determined upon the conclusion of the price discovery phase.

The initial supply for the sYSL token will be dependent upon the amount of bonus value created from the bonus multiplier, the sum total of the referral bonus and the sum total of BUSD collected.

Given that, the protocol mints YSL tokens equivalent to 50% of the BUSD collected (sent as liquidity to establish the YSL-BUSD pool on ApeSwap Finance), the initial supply of the YSL token will be dependent upon the sum total of BUSD collected at the end of the price discovery phase.

Furthermore, the YSL.IO contract has no set maximum supply for the YSL token. This stems from the protocol’s core objective of maximizing the benefits attributable to locked liquidity. With this in mind, the protocol has been uniquely designed to ensure there is a perpetual growth of YSL-BUSD locked liquidity. Given that the formation of locked liquidity fundamentally requires the protocol to mint YSL tokens; it would be counterintuitive to have a capped supply for the token, as this would effectively place a limit on the amount of locked liquidity that can ever be created. Similarly, there will be no set maximum supply for the sYSL token, as having a limit on the supply will restrict the creation of locked liquidity. This is because, whenever a user decides to purchase an amount of sYSL tokens, locked liquidity will be created equivalent to 200% of the purchase value. This essentially will have a domino effect on the amount of sYSL tokens that will be minted, as the increase in locked liquidity will lead to the sYSL token appreciating. Having said that, it’s worth noting that the circulating supply after the price discovery phase will also be influenced by several other factors. These factors include the utilization of the amplification function, platform referral activity and overall demand for the protocol.

Mary | satoshi club:

You’re opened to your community, and I am sure they appreciate this!

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

Our company will be incorporated within the EU.

They surely do, we have an excellent community that trust us and love our project.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for the introduction, we will have a question selected for the part 1. Ready to start?

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Absolutely.

Preselected questions about the Sonarplatform DeFi project.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Q1 from telegram user @jonahapagu

The sonar platform is said to be an ai driven data aggregation suite which monitors the BSC and Ethereum networks (pancakeswap, uniswap) in real time, and meta-data is gathered and analyzed automatically and fed into your easy-to-use interface… as a data aggregation suite, a lot of data goes into your platform from the numerous sources you monitor, how do you ensure that all this data are transmitted and used in a secure way, and what kinds of data does your ai algorithm aggregate from the BSC and Ethereum networks..

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Absolutely. The data itself is available is pulled from various sources, although we are unable to disclose that do to intellectual property protection (i.e. Protecting sonar holder investments). However most of the data required for this is retained in a public-facing format, which can handle normal encyrption. However, as soon as it connects to web3 functions, there are absolutely extra layers of security provided to ensure connection between wallets and the web3 app are maintained. Specifically, we are in the process of onboarding whitehats that come from some of the largest investment banks in the world for this purpose.

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Also, our platform aggregates data not just from the blockchain but also from social networks and more – we are linked to a very wide set of datapoints via apis for rt data and gathered historical data from other sources we can’t share right now

Mary | satoshi club:

Yes, I saw that you are tracking influencers. How do you choose whom to track?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Well, the first criteria is outreach, but we don’t just look at the raw number of followers or like, but we analyze channels with proprietary tech to measure whether it’s fake or real engagement

We have other criteria but we need to keep some details secret until launch – I hope you’ll understand.

Mary | satoshi club:

When do you plan to launch Sonarplatform?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Our plans see the first public version out for q1 2022, but before that we’ll launch the other gem from our ecosystem – sonar wallet.

Mary | satoshi club:

Wow! Super 👍

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for your answers 🙂 ready for the next question?🚀

Cristiano | sonar cio:

(Just 1 more thing: our holders will be the first to get access to the beta, which will arrive before public release)

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

👍 great news

Mary | satoshi club:

It’s really good incentive to hold😉

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Q2 from telegram user @h1drx

The third quarter of 2021 started about a month ago, however, according to your roadmap, you have not completed the activities of the second quarter, are you experiencing problems with the last three activities of q2? This could delay future project plans, why has the listing on coingecko, coinmarketcap, blockfolio, logo on web3 wallets and pcs and audit through techrate auditor taken so long?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Yeah sorry – that was actually a typo on our website (you can see it has been corrected already). As you know we just launched.

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

No, we will not experience delays, we are already listed on coingecko, applied for cmc and blockfolio, logo is present on web3 wallets and pcs

Cristiano | sonar cio:

So, it was meant to be q3, q4 then q1 2022

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

Audit through techrate is pending as well. We already applied and have given the necessary info and we are waiting from them to finalise

Mary | satoshi club:

Yes🙂 it’s not easy to reach this goals in so short term

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

So, in reality we are in line with the roadmap.

Mary | satoshi club:

Are you planning more audits in the future?

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

Yes. We are actually ahead of schedule, just waiting from techrate’s side as well as cmc. We are planning a full Certik audit. But this audit takes at least 4 weeks to be carried out. So, we will have to wait for that.

Mary | satoshi club:

I wish you good luck with everything! 👍

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Absolutely. We have Certik planned after our techrate audit returns. There will be audits on our features to be added as well (e.g. Bridges, staking, etc.)

Mary | satoshi club:

I like this, of course it doesn’t give 100% guarantee, but for sure you will feel much safer. Thank you for your answers, guys! Ready to proceed?

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Yes, absolutely. Well, we want to be as open, honest, and secure as possible.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Excellent job 👏

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

I want to add that we want to engage the community. We have opened a chinese, italian, german and indonesian chat. We have just opened an arabic chat and we intent to expand through russian and turkish channels as well.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Do you have an ambassador program.

Mary | satoshi club:

So many communities, really international project!

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

We are already doing that ourselves. Some of our key and biggest investors are also helping us expand. They belive so much in our project that they are putting their soul into it. And are acting as ambassadors themselves.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for your answers! So, let’s go with next question🚀

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Q3 from telegram user @sotiy97

Sonar has three level structures (tier-0, tier-1 and tier-2), from tier-1 the extra benefits of the sonar platform are obtained, but in order to be in tier-1 the user must be the holder of minimum 250,000 $ping. I managed to see in your q2 that you made a pre-sale, could you tell us what was the price listed in the pre-sale of $ping, and you plan to make more than one pre-sale, for those people who cannot participate and thus achieve $ping ? And I am interested in knowing how beneficial it is for the users to be in tier-1 or tier-2? And how does this system of classification by level help or allow greater benefits to the sonar ecosystems? What are the incentives that motivate users to want to enter tier-1 or tier-2?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Users in different tiers will get access to increasingly advanced features, and those from higher tiers will definitely gain an unfair advantage – we’ll share more details about what specific features will be included in the tiers very soon, but meanwhile I want to add that we will provide access to a basic set of functionalities to all people.

This is a crucial part of our acquisition strategy and will be true for both wallet and analytics platform.

Mary | satoshi club:

Can you tell us which features will be available for different tires?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

To mention a few features available only to holders: advanced conditional alerting, community, wallets and tx tracking

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

The pre-sale price was $0.000222, and the opening price was $0.0002500.  The current listing of tier staking requirements will be adjusted according to the market price of the token so as not to “outprice” investors who seek the more advanced tools. One thing to note is that the staking requirements for the higher tiers is absolutely critical. The services and tools provided at the higher tiers are high-functioning trade tools which would normally carry a transaction cost. So in order to ensure that sonar token value is protected, the more advanced features available to token holders must support the stability of sonar.

The features of sonar are both vast and varied, though they cascade unto each other to form a robust analytics, trade execution, and enhanced investment platform.

For instance, the first stage of sonar is to provide investors with an all-in-one platform to perform all the leading DYOR functions for coins in the Binance  smart chain. Features such as rug screens, honeypot identification, liquidity lock checks, contract ownership checks, whale/bot tracking, social media presence tracking/impact, and more…

Sonar is also delivering a secure, non-custodial wallet service which provides portfolio data which investors are currently unable to access, i.e. Profit/loss data for individual and portfolio investments,

Then, the sonar will implement a bridge to other chains including Ethereum. Sonar holders will be able to not only interact with Ethereum, but able to capture staking/yield farming/etc. Opportunities which are inaccessible on the Binance smart chain. This feature also contains many of our “secret” programs which will be launched and integrated into the sonar holders’ bag of tools to increase profit opportunities in non-traditional, but highly profitable crypto spaces.

After successful adoption of these services, sonar will be offering market-maker level trading tools for the investor, whether small or large. These include risk/volatility identification, price action updates/notifications, grid trading, trailing profit/stop-loss functions, risk management features/guides (e.g. Recommended position size for a given asset), price projections/pattern recognition using algorithmic-based machine learning technical analysis and more…

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Which feature of your amazing wallet are you most proud of?😊

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

For me, I am most proud of the trading tools. Coming from a forex background using mt4 and trading terminals…i am used to being able to access advanced tools that retail traders aren’t able to access. Essentially, it’s not fair. I am very happy to be able to help bring these tools to the people. Whether you have $5, $10, $50, or $1m, you should have access to these tools to secure a better financial future for you and your family.

This includes the bridge to other chains, allowing sonar holders to access profit opportunities on other chains via their sonar holdings

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

This is a truly unique solution👏👏👏

Mary | satoshi club:

Yes, you’re right😄

Cristiano | sonar cio:

That’s a difficult question… But for me more than a specific feature I would say the deep care for detail of the UX that really make any other feature shine

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Absolutely👍Thanks for your detailed answers😊

Mary | satoshi club:

When bridges will be available?

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

These will be built sooner than later. We are actively building the pools necessary for this to take place, so as soon as we hit certain targets, we can deploy the access to other chains

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Ready to jump to the next question?

Mary | satoshi club:

We will be waiting for this! 🎉

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Q4 from telegram user @andrey_seleznov

Hi sonar!

Please tell us more about sonar’s contract analysis module. I read that sonar contract security scan searches for the latest known scam functions and exploits, and compiles a digestible report detecting positive aspects as well as an extensive list of security threats that can be found in scam contracts. How exactly do you do that, is it fully automated and real time or do you manually pre-generate these security reports? Do you also decode changes that may be waiting in the timelock queue that may negatively affect the smart contract? Thank you!

Mary | satoshi club:

Interesting question 😃

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Yes.  This is one of the reasons we are onboarding whitehat security professionals and full-stack developers. Whilst there is a known dataset that has the latest functions/exploits, we still aim to be proactive in this space. Some key partnerships currently being explored also seeks to enhance this real time contract security analysis ability as well.

Mary | satoshi club:

So, you will have some kind of audit department?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Regarding the usability part, so how data is presented to our users, we are making the process easy for the less savvy investors by putting everything into very simple terms and frame any aspect with clarity – additionally providing explanations/description for each indicator (so somehow providing the chance to progressively learn)

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

Absolutely. Having an audit department is part of our short to medium term plans. And will be reflected on our platform.

Mary | satoshi club:

Tell me, if a scam does happen, will you take any responsibility in front of your users?

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

We are not giving financial advice and we are not financial advisors. Our platform intends at simplifying and digesting information in a way which is more understandable to the amateur user, and consequently lead to an increased possibility of a safer investment. However, it is still the investor’s responsibility to ‘Dyor’.  If there is a scam, we will obviously identify it as a scam once confirmed.

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Think of sonar like a life jacket on a ship. If the ship goes down, you still need to be able to swim, but the lifejacket gives you a fighting chance. And for those who don’t know how to use a life jacket, we’ll show you how to put it on and  use it properly.

Mary | satoshi club:

Very nice comparison 👍 thank you for your answers! Ready to go to the next question?🥳

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Sure thing.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thanks for your answers 😃

Q5 from telegram user @luk4jah

Sonar aims to provide investors with an all-in-one platform to perform all the leading Dyor functions for coins in the Binance smart chain. Features such as rug screens, honeypot identification, liquidity lock checks, contract ownership checks, whale/bot tracking, social media presence tracking/impact. We all know that on a daily basis many cryptocurrency projects are being launched on both the Binance and Ethereum blockchains, how do you plan to stay up to date with the new tokens and coins that launch on these blockchains? You are starting your project on the Binance chain, do you plan to expand to other blockchains like Ethereum, polkadot, polygon, heco? What are the parameters or tools will you use to make your project different from other crypto tracking platforms?

Mary | satoshi club:

Partially answered 😃

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Yep 😊

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Regarding parameters, we are measuring engagement by analysing activity indicators (likes, retweets, mentions, etc… Depending on the specific platform) both from within a token’s community own channels but also from other channels which are not dedicated to a single token such as crypto-related reddit channels or prominent influencers for instance

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

From the outset, yes. We chose BSC specifically because of the number of scammers out there. We felt it ethically important to tackle this space then expand to the other chains. We absolutely will be bridging across both to provide the same services we have mentioned as well as to provide access to investment opportunities on chains with larger liquidity pools and or chains with new investment strategies available.

Mary | satoshi club:

I heard that Matic is also popular among scammers nowadays.

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Yes. And we will see natural cycles of scammers. I must admit that polygon is on my immediate radar not only for this factor, but also the flexibility for creating interesting investment vehicles within their architecture.

Mary | satoshi club:

As an ordinary user which info will I be able to find on your platform? Did you prepare some guides how to use it?

Cristiano | sonar cio:

This additional deep analysis of community growth and sentiment, paired with the more common indicators coming from the blockchain, give us a more holistic set of data upon which our ml algorithms are able to find new kind of patterns.

Mary | satoshi club:

I definitely will try it when it goes live😉

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Thanks for the question, you touched a point which is paramount for us and will act as a key differentiator for us in the space – as you might have experienced there is little to no support also with enormous projects like crypto.com, Celsius etc… We are here to change that.

First, a very thorough and comprehensible guide will be published for all the products from our ecosystem at launch

Secondly but more importantly, we are planning to have incredible costumer support with “excessive” 24h coverage as well

Mary | satoshi club:

That’s great! It will make our interaction with Sonarplatform much easier!

Cristiano | sonar cio:

What many projects really don’t understand. Is that customer support is user experience. All those project saying they have great UX, but no support, really they only have great ui

Mary | satoshi club:

Yes, this is a painful question for many of them

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Covering their shortcomings with a nice coat of paint

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

We live off our clients’ money. 😉

Cristiano | sonar cio:

I hope I don’t come out arrogant or rude, but I have this to my heart 🙂

Mary | satoshi club:

Thank you, guys for detailed answers! Ready for the 6th and last question from this part?😉

Cristiano | sonar cio:

Born ready 😉

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Q6 from telegram user @id_qi86

With a welfare exclusive to $ping token holders, is sonar sponsored exclusively by ping? Could you tell us more about this relationship? How does sonar deal with obstacles to accessing de-fi services: liquidity being fragmented to various protocols and services, trade fee, subpar ui/UX and high gas cost with on-chain transactions? And will sonar integrate into the BSC market and become part of the Binance  nft market soon?

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

Whilst at the moment sonar is being sponsored directly through ping, this will not be the only revenue in due time. For example/ the platform itself will serve for advertisement revenue .

Mary | satoshi club:

Which kind of advertising will you have? Won’t it be annoying for your users?

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

One thing to understand as well is the tax rate helps to set aside funds so we can build out necessary liquidity pools on other chains. This is crucial, as the investment opportunities we have lined up for sonar holders serves as a real non-sonar investment income. I.e. Sonarians could gain profits from interacting with other investments (and sonar).

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Excellent benefits

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

By having a couple of banners, it shouldn’t be annoying. The projects advertised are going to need to be audited by us first.

Jacob (jtc)- sonar ceo- Sonarplatform.io:

We won’t advertise just anything.

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Thank you very much for the great answers! 🙂

Mary | satoshi club:

Cool👏 than we are with you😉

Gold rocket | satoshi club:

Are you ready for the most impressive part of our ama? Live questions.

Mike cfo/ Sonarplatform.io:

Strapped in and ready for the ride.

PART 2.Questions about the Sonarplatform project from the live chat of the telegram community.

In this part, we open a chat for the crypto community for 120 seconds. Then the guests from the Sonarplatform crypto project choose the top 10 questions. The 10 crypto enthusiasts have earned cryptocurrency in the sum of 100$.

Q – 1 from a telegram user @Karoceh

I’m interested in participating in the beta. How much $PING minimum i need to hold to get access to the beta? and what other things do I need to prepare to participate?

Cristiano | Sonar CIO:

Every holder will get access, there will be a required minimum to access the best features just after the launch – this way we’ll give more people the ability to actually test and fall in love with our platform.

Q – 2 from a telegram user @Korryl

So I read about your tokenomic that sonar will spent 2% tax to Sonar Innovation Lab Wallet, can you explain what activity it will have in there? Do the tax use for new development or innovation for sonar project? 

Mike CFO/ Sonarplatform.io:

The innovation tax is, for me, the most interesting one. This is where we build the cross-chain benefits for Sonar holders. PING token itself will serve not only as the gateway to access the tools we are developing to protect and enhance your current investing and trading strategies, but will provide access to upcoming investment vehicles that will span multiple chains. This specific capability uses the best emerging technologies, constantly evolving and improving, which allow Sonar to interact in novel and unexplored ways in which crypto has yet to offer to today’s cryptonaut.

At this point, it must be understood these methods are kept close to our collective chest as we want to ensure that PING holders are the first investors to access these profit-making opportunities which are untapped, have incredible upside potential, and will be absolutely game changing in the crypto and physical investment universe.

Q – 3 from a telegram user @Abdullahmia

You launched your project about 3 months ago. But you launched your token about 1 week ago? Why so late?

Cristiano | Sonar CIO:

we actually launched our project ALONG with the token, not before – so last week

Q – 4 from a telegram user @boradam

What do you think about NFT’s? Do you plan to create any NFT packs in the future?

Cristiano | Sonar CIO:

definitely, we’ll have partnerships with big artists in this regard for the Wallet launch (which sports a beautiful NFT gallery)

Q – 5 from a telegram user @Pratze

As we know NFT is really booming this year, how about Sonar platform project? Do you have plan regarding NFT in the future? Or maybe another DeFi feature like farm and stake?

Mike CFO/ Sonarplatform.io:

We have an INCREDIBLY innovative way to interact with NFTs. In short, we will absolutely be interacting with NFTs on multiple chains, but it will not be in the traditional sense that we currently see now. We’ve been developing NFT use for very specific, and profitable relationships which will exclusively be made available to Sonar holders. I can’t say more now as we are now the only group looking at NFTs in this way, and we want Sonar holders to be the first investors to realize returns in this manner.

Q – 6 from a telegram user @Strawberry1999

There are 5 core issues prevalent in crypto and blockchain: Excessive Volatility, Security, Scalability ,Interoperability, transaction speed. How do your plan to overcome these issues?

Mike CFO/ Sonarplatform.io:

These are, in their nature, uncontrollable. However these factors add into very specific trading tools/indicators that SHOULD be provided to all investors, not just institutional/Market Maker traders. I’m very happy you brought this up. We aim to bring investors the capacity to see the impact of these issues, digest the meaning, and make more effective trade decisions.

Q – 7 from a telegram user @arboledae

Why can this project be considered solid? How are you going to improve the economic quality of the users?

Jacob (JTC)- Sonar CEO- sonarplatform.io:

The team consists of highly qualified, fully doxxed, KYC’d individuals, with a unique use-case which is missing in this spaced. By simplifying the investing process of traders we are automatically improving the economic quality of users. Users today need a million tabs and platforms (social media, charts, dex, bscscan etherscan etc, tg channels, audits etc) which can easily confuse the normal investor. furthermore, our platform will allow users to create buy/sell orders according to personalised specific functions , thus improving the experience and consequently the profitability of trades.

Q – 8 from a telegram user @Jonahapagu

It is stated that Sonar platform platform will also provide an incredibly advanced alerting system that can react to several kinds of events with never before seen options. How will this advanced Alerting system work, what kinds of events will it be able to respond to, how can users be able to use this alerting system and what kinds of alert options will they be able to use it for.?

Cristiano | Sonar CIO:

along with all the usual data you are used to – market data and price movement – you’ll get access to a wide range of performance indicators coming from community and socials tracking, both within a token’s community but also from other channels which are not dedicated to a single token such as crypto-related reddit channels or prominent influencers for instance.

Some specifics:
– finer price related events tracking (e.g. increase of X% in a specific timeframe
– DEXs and token tracking website listings (CG, CMC…)
– community growth and sentiment
– more

All of this will later be used to provide the ability to create conditional chains mixing different indicators (AND/OR workflows)

Q – 9 from a telegram user @cindy_crypto

Do you also plan to make a staking or farming features on top of your project for PING token?

Mike CFO/ Sonarplatform.io:

Yes. These are important factors in the lifecycle of Sonar. They are absolutely required so that we can allow Sonarians to branch out from BSC and into the other chains. While staking and farming are great stable income sources, we want to cascade the impact of staking. Staking will allow you to perform much more functionality within the cryptoverse (i.e. wrapped Sonar). And yes. That is coming.

Q -10 from a telegram user @Strawberry1999

Community is a strong force for projects, and how do you strengthen relationships with the community? Is the community your main focus? How do you view the community?

Jacob (JTC)- Sonar CEO- sonarplatfos:

Community IS our strongest focus. We are on voice chat almost 24/7, we have held youtube AMAs, VC AMAs, Chat AMAs. Our DMs are always open to anyone and we have promised the public to answer each and EVERY ONE of private messages we receive. Personally i have received hundreds and I am so happy i did, cause we have received a ton of support from the public. We want to diversify our communities and create one WORLD community which seeks safe investments and a transparent and honest backing by our team.

Part 3 – Quiz about project

In the final part, we tested the knowledge in terms of the Sonarplatform project. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part, so everyone could be a part and answer. Participants had 10 minutes to answer. 300$ was distributed between the winners.

Railgun x Satoshi Club AMA Recap from 25th of June

Hello, Satoshi clubbers! Another AMA took place in Satoshi Club and we would like to introduce to you the AMA session with our friends from Railgun and our guest was @emgoldstein – representative of Railgun. The AMA took place on 25th of June.

The total reward pool was 500$ and has been split into 3 parts.

In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Website

D. | Satoshi Club:
Hello all!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with Railgun! Welcome to Satoshi Club😀

D. | Satoshi Club:
Today our guest – @emgoldstein!

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Thank you very much! We are glad to be here. Kieran, @mesquka is also joining.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
He should join our group first😃

Mary | Satoshi Club:
And welcome here 👍

D. | Satoshi Club:
I think he’s in 👀

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
I am indeed.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Railgun is the first time people can have truly provable privacy on base layer Ethereum. Until now, others thought it was impossible.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Nice! Welcome!

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Basic Ethereum addresses and transactions are less private even than Bitcoin.

The ecosystem really needed a product like Railgun, and we’ve been spending the last six months building it.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
And it’s incredible! We have a lot of things to discuss today! But first let’s start with your intro😃

Guys, please tell us about yourself and your roles in Railgun 😃

Emmanuel Goldstein:
My name is Emmanuel Goldstein: I’m an economist and software developer. I’ve worked with cybersecurity and firewall software in the past, but more recently with digital currencies and e-money. I’ve seen surveillance grow to creepy levels. We need tools against that to keep our individual freedom and ensure a fair system.

I am the founder of the Railgun Project. 🙂

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Nice to e-meet you👍 when did you decide to start Railgun?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
I’ll let @mesquka introduce himself first before answering this!

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
I’m Kieran Mesquita, early adopter of Bitcoin and longtime cryptocurrency advocate. I’ve written code for things ranging from CPU and GPU miners to trustless crowdfunding and wallets for low cost phones. I’m currently most active in the Ethereum smart contract space.

I’m Chief Scientist at Railgun 🙂

Emmanuel Goldstein:
And he’s a GREAT scientist.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Railgun should be happy to have such an experienced scientist👍

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Regarding the founding of Railgun, the idea of privacy on ETH had been shared by many of my friends for the last five years.
It was recent developments in zk-snark and zk-stark ecosystem that made me actually start developing this full time in December last year.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Yes, we don’t have too much privacy on ETH.

I was thinking about this for a long time, because i can’t tell that i like current situation

D. | Satoshi Club:
I see you guys not anons😉, but you work on privacy project, why you decided to not hide your identity? in DeFi lots of developers prefer to stay behind the scene

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Last year I was speaking with a hedge fund friend who told me over 45% of all wall street trades were done via dark pools. They hide who is making the trade.

That same week, I spoke to a friend who co-founded a major erc20 project, who was paranoid about moving coins because of hundreds of people watching his wallet, who might spread FUD online if he switches wallets, or divides them anywhere.
I moved away from centralized exchanges a long time ago, especially after cryptopia hack, the Binance KYC leak, Bitmex account email leak, and other leaks ….that made my friends and I targets of thieves and criminals.

While I love Defi, in many ways it’s less private: watchers can monitor your trading patterns. We needed a privacy solution for stablecoins and defi, and it needed to work without sacrificing Ethereum security or the liquidity of existing Dapps and DEXes.

… It is Railgun.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
I love this! The same feelings!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Agreed.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
We appreciate what you’re doing!

And that’s why i am so excited now to hear your answers for the questions from our community 😃 we choose 6 questions for the first part

Emmanuel Goldstein:
If we want our system to be successful, we have to work together with other experts and teams around the world.
Because we are not in the shadows, it’s also hard for other people to pretend to be us. (Anyone can check who the legit team are)
It lets other defi developers feel confident that they are working with the people who they can have a long term connection with.

But, because Railgun is a decentralised project, really the team could be everyone in the world with a github account. It’s really just a list of people who care enough to contribute.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
It makes sense 👍

Ready, guys?🚀

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Ready when you are 🙂

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Let’s go 🚀

D. | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for the great intro!

Q1 from Telegram user @giovannialc
We know that RAILGUN is an idea made reality by scientists from Europe, Australia and Canada in order to solve privacy problems on the ETHEREUM platform, the project is based on making a common and public process something more private, anonymous and fast as did you manage to successfully set up this project? will they be focused on being a means of security for the ETHEREUM platform? What other platforms do you intend to integrate into since it would be a cutting-edge project in terms of user safety?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Kieran will take this question

It’s a big question 🙂

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Sure, I guess there’s 2 parts to the question here.

  1. We definitely have. We have a working project and launch is soon. I’m excited to finally release this into the wild.
  2. Railgun works out of the box with most DeFi protocols on Ethereum, we plan to provide tools to allow DeFi developers to add faster/easier/cheaper integrations with Railgun too.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Take your time 🙂

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:

  1. We’re not just looking at Ethereum, while it is the most used chain with the most economic activity we think that everyone should have access to privacy so we’re going to be deploying on other chains too.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Can you name us that DeFi protocols for which you plan to provide tools?😃

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Every single eth Dex will work immediately with railgun.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Btw, can you tell us if there is any blockchain on which we will never see Railgun?😉

Emmanuel Goldstein:
All of the lending systems, aave, curve, cream, fulcrum etc. all work well with Railgun.

We will never see Railgun on Ripple or Litecoin 🙂

D. | Satoshi Club:
Why? 😁

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Awesome 😎

Emmanuel Goldstein:
There isn’t enough defi on there to bother. Those blockchains can’t process smart contracts.

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun is built as a smart contract to run on Layer 1. Chains such as Ripple and Litecoin don’t have smart contract support and have no DeFi activity either.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Got it! as i know LTC planning something with mimblewimble protocol

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Got it😃

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Yes, that’s true. @mesquka can tell you why mimblewimble is still worse privacy than Railgun.

D. | Satoshi Club:
👍 that’s will be interesting to hear

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Yes🧐

Emmanuel Goldstein:
😎😎

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Specifically relating to Litecoin: MimbleWimble is implemented as extension blocks on LTC, while this allows for easier upgrades in a chain like Litecoin where hard forks are required to rollout privacy at a base later there’s very little incentive for wallets to support the more complex transactions that come with extension blocks.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, it’s impossible to have full privacy with MimbleWimble?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
The key thing to note, however, is that traders want to use stablecoins. They want to use DAI, USDT and USDC

that’s why coins like monero, etc, are not the solution.
People want to send and swap USDT privately.

D. | Satoshi Club:
True.

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Additionally, MimbleWimble uses the decoy model, this inherantly leads to a smaller privacy set as only the decoys chosen for the transaction serve to obfuscate transaction history. Increasing the number of decoys is cost prohibative as it increases the size of the overall transaction. Fully ZK transactions provide ‘perfect’ secracy in this regard as the decoys are effectively every single other transaction in the system as opposed to just a few.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
💯

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
The same issue with MimbleWimble also extends to other decoy models like CryptoNote/RingCT as used in Monero

D. | Satoshi Club:
Thank you for clarification guys👍 great answers!

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
And to clarify, yes, Railgun uses fully ZK transactions.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
👍

Thank you for these awesome and detailed answers! Ready to proceed?😃

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Yep!

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Yes 🙂

Q2 from Telegram user @Highpee
Railgun intend to implement privacy feature that can hide farming strategies and pools information as you intend to take privacy beyond regular day to day transactions. You said users will be able to perform “darkpool style trading” and nobody will be able to copy a user farming strategies. How will users use darkpool style trading and what are the assets that can be deposited into these pools? How is the darkpool designed to operate transparently and securely since no one will be able to monitor asset flow in and out of this pool? Also, Will this farming darkpool be able to accurately identify each user’s contribution to the pool in order to determine farming yield reward as well as determine the pool APY when everyone is anonymous?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Firstly, it’s not a traditional “darkpool” like wall street uses, because it’s totally decentralised and nobody operates it. It’s a new kind of system that has the same user-hiding effect.

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun works on ERC20 tokens. The way that DeFi protocols track deposits is by issuing another ERC20 token that represents the deposit in the protocol. As deposits accrue yield the ERC20 is redeemable for more and more. For example: Depositing ETH & DAI into a uniswap pool returns ETH/DAI Uni LP tokens, these tokens can be stored in Railgun in the same way any other token is, and then redeemed back for the ETH/DAI held in the pool at a later date.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Basically, because only you can unlock your lp token or farm token(which you hid in Railgun), you are still the only one that can claim these farming rewards.

D. | Satoshi Club:
So how Railgun will be used? if I need to do a swap on Uni can i use Railgun to hide my action? what i should do for this

Mary | Satoshi Club:
How it will work in reality? What user should do to use Railgun tools, for example, on Curve?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Firstly, the Curve site and Uniswap website SHOULD have a button for “SWAP via RAILGUN” which will make it a private trade.

However, before they put that up, there are several community members that will host front-ends for the railgun dapp.

So you can just go to one of the Railgun websites and click
“Trade privately through Uniswap”
and connect your wallet for unlimited private trading.
That easy!

Also: mobile Android and iPhone app coming soon 😏

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Perfect! I would definitely try this😍

D. | Satoshi Club:
1inch already allows private swaps as im aware of, why they need Railgun for this?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
That system is cool but it’s not a “private trade” it is still completely linked to your home ETH address and destination address.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Really?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Railgun is the first system on ETH that can do a truly private trade with only smart contracts.

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
1 inch ‘private’ transactions are not private in the same way that Railgun transactions are private. What 1 inch is referring to when they say private transactions is just that it’s not broadcast to the mempool which reduces frontrunning, once the trade has made it into a block and on-chain though it’s just as public as any other trade.

D. | Satoshi Club:
👍 big thanks for info

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
If 1inch wanted to integrate truely private trades they’re welcome to integrate Railgun 😉

D. | Satoshi Club:
😁😁👍

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thank you, guys for this info! Ready to go to the next question?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
It’s only a matter of time 😎🤟

Yes

Q3 from Telegram user @NSZR1
I read that the launch of your token will take place soon, and that it will work in the ethereum network. Currently the cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downtrend for almost all projects, this has made a large part of users be more careful or have more doubts when investing in a new project. Taking this into account I would like to know why you decided to launch the token using the ethereum network, which is currently known for high gas fees, you do not believe that this, together with the current market situation, could be counterproductive for the initial reception of the project? How do you plan to combat this?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
That’s one for Manny 🙂

D. | Satoshi Club:
Btw why you named project Railgun? any interesting story behind it?

Mary | Satoshi Club:
And also😃 how you will distribute tokens? Will you have sales or…?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Currently gas prices are very low. Only 15 gwei.
They will not be a problem.
The truth is most projects don’t have the amazing long term potential of Railgun.
It doesn’t really matter what market the RAIL token launches in. If a “quiet market” gives intelligent, privacy-aware people an easier chance to buy RAIL, then that’s great for them, they will benefit when it gets vastly more popular.
Also, if other projects have delayed their launch, then RAILGUN will be the only serious project launching next week, which is excellent for having people discover us after launch.
Railgun is not a meme coin or a farm fork.
It’s a promise of freedom-enhancing technology.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Good question! im very curious too, i already want to take part in sale 😄

Emmanuel Goldstein:
There will be no sale, but we have some volunteer market makers who will put the RAIL token onto UNISWAP and BALANCER on June 30.
These tokens were airdropped to people who donated to privacy projects in the past, and to the members of the Right to Privacy Foundation.

You can get them from Uniswap and Balancer!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Wow

Mary | Satoshi Club:
To be honest i expected something like this😃

Thank you for your answers! Ready to go to the next question?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Yes!

Q4 from Telegram user @Jonahapagu
It is stated that With recent advances in zkSTARKs the contributors to the Railgun Project are investigating and testing the use of SNARKs and STARKs and are developing both systems in parallel… With your proposed launch fast approaching what is the progress so far in the building and testing of your technology using both the SNARK’s and STARK’s what are the differences between both of them, and will you end up implementing both of them on your platform side by side..

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
We evaluated both and settled on groth16 snarks as they are the cheapest to verify on Ethereum currently. We have a breakdown of the tradeoffs between SNARK and STARKS on our twitter: https://twitter.com/railgun_project/status/1362223656395436034

Happy to dig into the details of any of the points there if you’d like

Emmanuel Goldstein:
We have basically concluded that the STARKs eat up much too much gas to be practical for us. We left those behind, Snarks were chosen as the way forward.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, that was mainly because of gas fees?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
The gas cost of STARKs would be higher. So we chose SNARKS. The privacy level is equal.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Also, what was your main challenge while you were developing Railgan? What thing you’re most proud for?

Super👍

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Among other things. Groth16 snarks are also much quicker to generate on the wallet side too.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Will future upgrades of Ethereum affect the project? like eip-1559 and PoS

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
As long as the ethereum smart contract system continues to funciton, so will Railgun. EIP-1559 and PoS should keep gas fees low, so DeFI (and by extension Railgun) will be accessible to more people.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Thank you! ready for the next question?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Yep

Q5 from Telegram user @victorogb
The Railgun project offers a whole lot of privacy enhancing features with trading and DeFi related activities, but most of the information on the comprehensive and tentative working procedures and schedule of the project development, are not readily available except, bits and pieces gotten on the Railgun twitter and telegram groups. The lack of proper marketing and accurate verifiable information can hamper the growth of any project. Therefore, how will Railgun effectively handle promotions and marketing, when should the community expect a functioning website, detailed roadmap and most importantly an audit of the Railgun smart contract?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
@mesquka I’m curious to know

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Woops, sorry, seems like I missed this question

Mary | Satoshi Club:
😃

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
The main issue with building privacy on ETH is how much gas all of the cryptographic schemes we use consume. It’s especially hard to keep gas costs low without sacrificing either privacy or functionality. I’m quite proud of how efficient the Railgun team has made everything with gas costs not much higher than some DeFi protocols

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Yes I agree!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
👏

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
We implement things like merkle tree updates an order of magnitude better than most other protocols that use the same setup 😉

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Regarding documents:

Technical specifications, (white paper)
Source code, and
Audit report

will be on the website and in the Telegram channel on Tuesday.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
There will also be a FAQ, with all the collected questions and answers from every platform.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Awesome

Emmanuel Goldstein:
The team photos and bios will also be on the website then too.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Do you plan any marketing campaign?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Until then, you can see them all in the @railgun_privacy chat

Yes we have engaged 3 major promotion agencies to spread the word about Railgun starting next week and going right into next year. It will be big news.

D. | Satoshi Club:
And events for the community 👀😄

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Cool👍

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thank you for your answers😀 ready for the 6th and last question from this part?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Yes, we are.

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Yep!

D. | Satoshi Club:
Let’s lowkey proceed to the last question.

Q6 from Telegram user @Rakshitx5
Why do you think there is a need for privacy in transactions? Through Railgun privacy, a man can do money laundering, pay for illegal activities and he will not be traced and it will be against laws. So Why do you think we need privacy in transactions?

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Philosophical question😀

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Privacy is a valuable tool to everyone. Just because someone might abuse it doesn’t mean everyone should be deprived of it.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Privacy is a human right

Mary | Satoshi Club:
It is a common belief that mainly criminals need privacy😀

Emmanuel Goldstein:
We should be able to decide who can see us, and who can’t.

Is up to them to ask us for details about our business.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Hence the phrase “mind your own business”.

There are a lot of people who gather information as a way to manipulate people.

The more a stranger knows about you, the more power they have over you.

Privacy is strength that protects your freedom from this kind of control.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
I understand what you’re talking about ☺️ but the vast majority of people neglect these opportunities

D. | Satoshi Club:
Totally agree.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
But we won’t, right @Cool_as_Ice ?😉

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Railgun does not allow money laundering – it will not give you a “fake” source or anything like that.
It will just mean that people have to ask you first.
They can’t snoop.

D. | Satoshi Club:
You bet.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, it will be impossible to launder money using your tools?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
You will be able to prove your legitimate source of funds with Railgun if someone asks and you accept.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
And my last question – if we will use your tools is it possible that we will have problems when depositing funds to CEX exchanges?

D. | Satoshi Club:
Good one 👀

Emmanuel Goldstein:
I am not a expert on those words but my understanding is that it means people claim that “crime money” is “legit money” by pretending it’s from a different business they own.

Railgun can’t make a “fake” source of funds, so no, it will not help crime.

Emmanuel Goldstein:
Good question, but no, it will be easy to show the CEX that you have a normal source of funds. You can generate that (only if you choose to)

But if you want to use CEX, you don’t care much about privacy 😉

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram user @cryptofollower
When I connect one of your websites and trade there, do you move my assets into your wallet first and trade there? So after I got the final token it is still not a private transaction if I only done one trade?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
No, it stays only locked as funds only you control.

Q2 from Telegram user @JoxesXIII
Regulators like blockchain because you can see such a transaction log so that you can monitor everything. As Railgun deals with this hypothetical situation, prepares to face possible persecution by some regulatory body, do you think you can defend that privacy is something that we should all have access to?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
I think if people want to know your business, they should ask.

Q3 from Telegram user @BJosefina61
Railgun is also focused on scalability solutions like Layer2 / sidechains or decentralizing aspects like governance? What would you focus on first in the medium term?

Emmanuel Goldstein:
We are focused on decentralized governance as Railgun is 100% decentralized.

We don’t like building layer2, we don’t like building side chains, and we will not use those or develop them.
However, we will deploy RAILGUN on successful sidechains like Matic

Q4 from Telegram user @highpee
You played around testing both SNARKs and STARKs but later decided for SNARKS because STARKs was less gas friendly. But apart from the issue of gas, which of these ZK technologies perform better? Which one of them offer the best privacy solution?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Generating zero-knowledge proofs are very computationally intensive. Starks have an advantage in larger circuits (such as zero knowledge VMs) however because Railgun has taken care to optimize our protocol code SNARKs are more suited due to their higher efficientcy at smaller circuit sizes.

Snarks win hands down in verifier efficientcy, they have a fixed cost to verify no matter how complex the proof, STARKs on the other hand increase in verifier cost as the circuit grows. Snarks also have a fixed proof size while STARK proof sizes grow as circuit size grows. This makes it more gas efficient to verify snarks on ETH (normally about 600k gas for snarks, Railgun has reduced that to 200k with our implementation, STARKs are about 2.5M gas to verify).

Starks have a few advantages over Snarks though, they’re probably quantum secure and don’t require a trusted setup. Let’s tackle the quantum secure point first:

Starks are quantum secure as far as our current understanding of quantum computing goes, there’s still a lot we don’t understand and things that were labelled as quantum secure might not be and things that are labelled as not quantum secure could actually be quantum secure. The quantum secure point is a moot point though as Etheereum itself isn’t built on quantum secure cryptography, if it is required then Railgun governance voters could pass an upgrade that makes railgun quantum secure when enough research into quantum secure algorithms have been done to properly verify their security.

Snarks require what’s labelled as a ‘trusted setup’, though this is a bit of a misnomer. With multi-party ceremonies such as perpetual powers of tau, as long as at least one participant in the setup phase doesn’t collude with ever other participant to try to break the setup then it is secure. The perpetual powers of tau ceremony currently has 71 contributions from people from various different geographic regions and companies, including members of the railgun team. This nullifies the advantage STARKs have not needing a ‘trusted setup’.

Hopefully that explains a little more in-depth the reasoning behind picking SNARKS over STARKS 🙂

Q5 from Telegram user @luk4jah
What kind of developer tools is Railgun planning to release to help existing projects add Railgun privacy as a feature?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun will be launching a framework to integrate into existing Dapp frontends, additionally, the smart contract adapts interface allows for on-chain integrations.

Q6 from Telegram user @potentialsake
Why people thought creating provable privacy on Ethereum base layer is impossible?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Historically implementing the cryptography required for private systems has been gas prohibitive. Railgun has a number of optimizations that have brought the gas cost down significantly without compromising on features.

Q7 from Telegram user @Indomiekuy
I read that Railgun can be used as smart wallet, privately building my balance up inside there as possible to make profit trading when nobody can see how much you have. The project is fully decentralised and there are no nodes/masternodes. Can you describe what technology that Railgun use to keep transaction going private? How do you convinced user that its 100% private and secure?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun is built on a Layer 1 as a collection of smart contracts. This allows people to interact with it as a private smart contract wallet with no risk of censorship by masternodes/layer2 validators. The team consists of people experienced in privacy and cryptocurrency ptotocols and the contract has been audited by domain experts in zero knowledge cryptography.

Q8 from Telegram user @smokeweed75
Can you point to a feature that you like best on the platform so that it can compete with other competitors? What are you most confident about about your background? Do you have a plan to get users to choose your platform?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun is the only privacy protocol on ETH that provides both the censorship-resistant properties of being a Layer 1 and the ability to privately interact with smart contract, it addresses a use-case that hasn’t been filled by any other project.

Q9 from Telegram user @ethcypherpunk
In terms of adaptability, where would you like Railgun to work side by side with which DeFi guys? Would it be good for lend and borrow styles, futures markets, NFTs, synthetics?

Kieran Mesquita | I won’t DM you first:
Railgun should be able to provide privacy wherever users want to interact. This includes NFTs, lending, futures etc. We’d love to more wallets and dapps integrate with railgun.

Part 3 – Quiz Results

Ultiarena x Satoshi Club AMA Recap from 25th of June

Hello, Satoshi clubbers! Another AMA took place in Satoshi Club and we would like to introduce to you the AMA session with our friends from Ultiarena and our guest was @dukevu, @harzojunior, and @korw11 – representatives of Ultiarena. The AMA took place on 25th of June.

The total reward pool was 500$ and has been split into 3 parts.

In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Website

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with UltiAtena! Welcome to Satoshi Club😀

D. | Satoshi Club:
Today our guests – @dukevu @harzojunior @korw11 !

Hey guys! how are you?

Duke Vu:
Awesome! Thanks for inviting us!

harzo:
Hello everyone! 🙂

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Welcome here 👍

D. | Satoshi Club:
👋

Let’s start our AMA whit introduction 😉

Mary | Satoshi Club:
We always happy to see new promising projects in Satoshi Club!

And yes! Let’s start with intro 🚀

Guys, could you please introduce yourself and tell us more about UltiArena!

Duke Vu:
Alright a few things about myself 🙂

I’m CEO & Founder of Ulti Arena – a NFT marketplace for Game Assets with Proof-of-Gaming. My first entrepreneurial experience was with MyBaze.com – an online marketplace for up-and-coming brands, we generated over $100k in monthly turnover and also managed to raise $1.5 mln from a VC Fund (you can read it here: https://mci.pl/en/mci-invests-in-mybaze-com-an-online-platform-integrating-sellers-and-buyers-in-the-design-industry) . I then founded 2 other companies. One was sold, Risen a Software Development company of 40 people with Python/React to Netguru. The other was iMeshup – a 3D collaboration tool for Game Studios (showcase of product here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-wrvv-F8vg) . I’ve also had my fair share of experience in Corporations (PwC and American Express). I’m also Chief Commercial Officer of Pragmatic Coders – a Blockchain / DeFi development company.

harzo:
Nice to see u all! I am the CTO of UltiArena but I am also blockchain enthusiast for over 4 years and a developer for over 7. I have worked with several Bitcoin-based coins and multiple Smart contract-based projects like wraps, ICOs, and coins.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Impressive 👍

Duke Vu:
Thanks!

Nice also increased your reputation.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Awesome experience, when did you first heard about crypto?

Our bot is very sensitive 😂

Duke Vu:
I’ve heard about Crypto in 2017 when one of my ex-CoFounders invited me to invest in a couple of ICO’s. I can’t remember how much I invested but there was such hype that I went in without much research – trusting my friend. Obviously, most of the projects failed and were nowhere to be seen later but there was one which I actually made money on. Then I’ve abandoned the crypto space for a while and now I’m back in full force – thanks in part due to joining to Pragmatic Coders where we built Crypto Exchanges and Mobile Banks / Blockchain Solutions

It’s a little bit better now but a lot of projects still fail to deliver real value.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Oh, it’s so familiar story! But i am happy that you didn’t give up and now we are welcoming UltiArena here😀

D. | Satoshi Club:
True. most of them I would say 😄

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, can you tell us what is UltiArena?😃

Duke Vu:
Ulti Arena is a NFT marketplace for Game Assets. Buyers/sellers can trade unique 2D/3D assets, Music, Sound and UI/HUD on the platform. Additionally we’ll implement Proof-of-Gaming, a gaming client allowing you to earn $ULTI when playing games such as DOTA2. Our Tokenomics is simple: there’s a 6% tax on each transaction once we’re listed on PCS, 2% burn, 2% reflection and 2% auto-LP. Additionally we give back to all $ULTI holders 30% of all NFT marketplace’s platform revenue.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Sounds nice!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Wow, that’s interesting! I think it’s time to dive deeper into the details with the questions from our community 😉 Are you ready?

Duke Vu:
We want games to be decentralized – game assets being shared among games. Imagine owning a sword in one game and it’s forever yours, not belonging to the game studio and transferable among games.

Yep let’s go

Q1 from Telegram user @xperia3
There are many pre-sale dates in your pre-sale plan. What is the reason of it? What advantages does it have having that much pre-sales instead of one? What are the vesting periods? Do you have a plan against instant dumping at your launch such as token lock or liquidity lock?

Duke Vu:

  1. Our most important mission is to build ACTUAL product: NFT Marketplace with Proof-of-Gaming. I believe that it will affect the long-term value of the project and we would much rather have investors believing in our vision than just day-traders getting in and out on Pancakeswap listing day,
  2. We need to hit the Asian markets: Japan, Korea, China, Philippines to gain the funding and traction. That many presales will be structured in a way that later rounds will be heavily advertised with: YouTube influencers, Twitch Streamers, Game Studios in Asia and North America. Without the funding we can’t do the big bang!
  3. PreSales will allow us to prepare better for a larger IDO on PCS and also CEX (Kucoin, Bitmart, Binance) listings – our advisors have connections and we can get there quickly. But we need time and funding to get Market Makers and also sufficient Liquidity Pool to play in the Big League (not just PancakeSwap)

Vesting $ULTI for team is 12 months and then 3% monthly

harzo:
Also on 12th September after ILO we are going to lock LP tokens with Unicrypt.

Duke Vu:
We have anti-dumping rule coded in the contract: all presales investors will be able to claim 10% of $ULTI’s on TGE / PCS listing day on 12th September, then again locked for 20 days and then unlocked 1% daily

D. | Satoshi Club:
I have heard gaming culture is very popular in Asia, especially in Korea.

Duke Vu:
DOTA2 and LOL are actually everywhere but yes, it’s crazy in South Korea and Japan

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, your Sales will finish on 12th of September?

Duke Vu:
Yes – we understand that’s a long time, but to deliver a real product we need time and investment to put into coding / development. And it’s actually a good way to weed out daytraders during presales – only royal investors with long-term vision such as ours

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Where Sales will take place? On your website?

Duke Vu:
Due to large interest in Polkastarter /Duckdao and other IDO platforms – we have developed our own https://launchpad.ultiarena.com/ – you can join and see for yourself how it works. All necessary information was put there.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Super! Satoshiclubbers, check all info😉

Thank you for your answers! Do you want to add something or we can go to the next question?

Duke Vu:
Let’s go next question 🙂

D. | Satoshi Club:
🚀🚀🚀🚀

Q2 from Telegram user @h1drX
The maximum supply is set at 250 billion tokens, with private sale and pre-sale accounting for around 24% of the total supply. The remainder will be released for public sale and generated through Community Mining and Proof-of-Gaming. Can you explain what the Community Mining process consists of? Also, there are consensus mechanisms such as Proof-of-Stake or Proof-of-Work, but I had never heard of Proof-of-Gaming, can you give us more details about this consensus mechanism? Can it be called a consensus mechanism? Does it bear a certain similarity to the other consensus mechanisms?

Duke Vu:
Community Mining will ensure that there will be a fair way to earn ULTI tokens: through participation in Discussion Boards, Competitions, Tournaments and by playing games offered by our Game Studio Partners.

The Proof-of-Gaming algorithm’s main idea is that gamers who spend time and GPU computational power should be the ones that could create and validate blockchain’s new blocks.

D. | Satoshi Club:
So it’s like a way of distribution your tokens. how long it will last? when all of token supply will be on market?

Duke Vu:
Key parts of the validation algorithm are:

Player’s rank in comparison with other players,
Time spent in-game,
Core playstyle metrics: APM (Actions-Per-Minute), Aggression, TeamPlay, Economics, Leveling Speed, etc.
Game difficulty.

D. | Satoshi Club:
Nice, this is a cool way for gamers to make money and play their fav games.

Duke Vu:
ULTI Coin’s final mining blocks will be distributed to nodes. Every player will connect to games via Ulti Arena’s gaming client which in turn will provide necessary data for the hashing algorithm.
It will use the Zobrist hashing strategy which was originally devised for computer chess, Go, and other similar two player board games. It is a fast method to calculate and update a signature or key representing a given board position in Chess — but for more complex games it can also be optimized. The analogy is quite straightforward between a board game position and the configuration of MOBA games: types of pieces are analogous to characters chosen, and positions on the game board are analogous to player’s position in the game along with other player’s metrics and gametime that will be used.
Two features of the Zobrist key make it particularly useful amongst possible hash functions for representing gaming and mining configurations. Firstly, it maps similar configurations of player’s ranks and metrics to very different key values, and the distribution of key values is uniform across the space of all possible keys. Secondly, it can be calculated rapidly and incrementally.
A new block can be created as soon as someone finishes a game. The waiting time should be short, so that’s why most popular games will be chosen for mining ULTI Coins: DOTA2, LOL, Fornite etc. The distribution should be fair, so there should be a balance of reward between creators of new blocks and validators.

The mining difficulty based on Zobrist hash functions will increase over time with diminishing retuns from number of hours played, ranks and quality of gameplay (playstyle, APM etc.)

So there $ULTI will be hard and harder to get 😉

And up until 2046 all to be mined.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Long-term plans and that’s great!

Duke Vu:
Thanks!

Nice increased reputation again 😉

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Do you know any projects on the market which already using such system?

Duke Vu:
No, we’re not aware of any.

I believe we’re first in the space to connect the Gaming and Crypto industry with a new consensus mechanism

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Super! We like to try new systems! 🚀

Thank you for your answers! Ready to proceed?

Duke Vu:
Let’s go!

Q3 from Telegram user @Arisabela
Days ago, specifically in May, you announced that your contract is on TestNet and that it would soon be released for a professional audition, is this done? Can you tell us what security measures have been taken for the platform? Perhaps a partnership that is an expert on this topic?

Duke Vu:
Yes we had our contracts audited twice, with Solidity Finance and Techrate, you can see them here: https://solidity.finance/audits/Ulticoin/ and https://github.com/TechRate/Smart-Contract-Audits/blob/main/UltiArena.pdf

As for security measures, we’re in the phase of migrating everything on AWS and also our NFT marketplace with Proof-of-Gaming will also be run there with strict security measures.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Fantastic! 👏

What about your Testnet? Who can participate in testing? What results did you get?

Duke Vu:
Before Pancakeswap launch, we will have our contracts audited by Hackend or Certik too to prevent Sniper Bots or other attacks on Pancakeswap Launch

Testnet NFT Marketplace will be available to test in September

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Wow! You really take security seriously!

Thank you for your answers! Ready for the next question?

Duke Vu:
Yes we want to protect our investors assets

Yep next.

Q4 from Telegram user @ysasoma
The competition is fierce, so, how Ulti Arena will be always competitive in the market, what characteristics will allow you to be unique, that is to say, what is the unique value contribution that you will offer to the users, so that they will select you before any other current project or project that may come in the future?

Duke Vu:
We are actually the FIRST NFT marketplace for Game Assets – no one has ever built such in the past

Our vision is to decentralize the making of games. Games are being developed in a centralized way: game studios hire artists, developers, and managers to produce assets, sounds, music, User Interfaces – for each game there are hundreds if not thousands of assets being produced. Why should one asset be used in a game only once by a player? Why shouldn’t they own that asset and transfer it to other games? Artists should also be able to track their creatives to see in what games were used and how they were used by the players. All these challenges can be easily solved by implementing NFT’s to game assets.

We believe that NFT’s will change the world of gaming as we know it. Imagine every game in the future to be made on Blockchain – you can transfer any existing game items from one to another. Assets can be traceable and also unique – artists and developers will have new ways to monetize their creations and see how they’re used. Building games on Blockchain can improve the overall experience:
-Game items will be transferable to other games,
-Unique items will be forever unique and one-of-a-kind as NFT’s,
-A decentralized way of making games will involve the community more, which will lead to greater sales for a particular game,
-Game Assets, Music, Sound, User Interfaces can be used in multiple games but they will be traceable – actual reliable statistics can be made.

Next thing: we’ll be the first to implement Proof-of-Gaming, our original concept of Playing and Earning

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Do you already prepared some partnerships with game industry players?

Duke Vu:
Once we’re deeper into coding the NFT marketplace we’ll start onboarding both Game Artists / Developers and Game Studios – our Sales team will focus on that

We’re talking about 1 month from now

Mary | Satoshi Club:
We will follow your updates! Sure you will have a lot of surprises for you users!

Thank you for your answers! Ready to jump to the next question?😀

Duke Vu:
Yes, can’t wait!

Q5 from Telegram user @MCBTrade
Since UltiArena is an NFT marketplace for Gaming Assets, once we buy these assets, what kind of games will we be able to use them for? Can we implement these assets in our own games or design new NFT games using these assets? Could you give a little more information about this?

Duke Vu:
You’ll know the origins and any follow-up buyer of the NFT’s – those game assets can be used in any game be it non-blockchain or blockchain-based games. The NFT will be a “certificate” that you own that piece of asset: 2D/3D characters, music / FX Sound, UI/HUD

Yes you’ll be able to design new assets using the ones you bought as NFT’s. We will also develop a plugin for Unity / Unreal Engine to instantly export assets as NFT’s into our marketplace

Of course, as part of our mission, we will want all games to have assets recorded on the Blockchain – our vision is that games will be decentralized and every assets owned by the gamer will be visible and publicly verifiable

Imagine there will be no such Dupe Hacks as in Diablo 2 back in the days 😉

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Will you have any kind of KYC verification on your platform?

Duke Vu:
Yes we’re testing integration with ShuftiPro, it’s available here: https://whitelist.ultiarena.com/ BUT please don’t use it yet, we will make announcement in due time

Mary | Satoshi Club:
So, all users will need to pass it or you will have some limits?

Duke Vu:
We’ll make announcements in due time but generally yes

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thank you for your answers! Ready for the 6th and last question from this part?🚀

Duke Vu:
Yes!

Q6 from Telegram user @kimterbear
Ultiarena explained that Ultiarena client will operate on the background while users play their desired game in order to earn while playing. It was also mentioned that this will require large space in CPU/RAM. However, the games mentioned can also be experienced in mobile such as League of Legends, Fortnite, and other MOBA games. Mobiles don’t have much RAM as much as PCs have. My question is, can Ultiarena also be used in mobile gaming? How much RAM would it need in order to operate on a mobile game? Does Ultiarena also plan to have a client for mobile gaming?

Duke Vu:
Superb question. Our first focus in on PC Games – mobile will come next as this is a huge market in Asia. Certainly, mobile gaming clients will be differently optimized to give maximum performance for the game itself. But still, this is far down in the product roadmap so we don’t have any details yet.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Gotcha! 👍

D. | Satoshi Club:
Do you plan work with consoles?

Duke Vu:
This could prove challenging – no plans yet

D. | Satoshi Club:
Understood, thanks!

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram user @KhaleesiTheCryptoLady
I was trying to open Ulti Arena website but it shows me an error. Is it just a minor or major error? Can you tell us why was your website down? Because of the website error, the purchasing of ULTI tokens got affected and due to the incident, how will you ensure buyers that $ULTI tokens are safe to buy and will not going to rug pull or exit scam later on? Also, have you undergone audit?

Duke Vu:
This is a very important question: as previously we wrote, we’re migrating the website to Amazon Web Services to exactly mitigate any bugs/errors. Our launchpad is still online https://launchpad.ultiarena.com/ and you can access it / learn how to buy from it.

As for Rug Pulls and Scams – we have our reputation on the line here, our team is publicly revealed. We’re doing everything we can to update daily about our progress and plans to stay as transparent as possible.

We’ve done 2 audits https://solidity.finance/audits/Ulticoin/ and https://github.com/TechRate/Smart-Contract-Audits/blob/main/UltiArena.pdf

Q2 from Telegram user @Wong2008
Why gamers have to buy gaming licenses?

Duke Vu:
We will only allow $ULTI mining through properly and legally purchased licenses, also our Gaming Client will allow logging in only via Steam’s OAUTH at the beginning – so you have to purchase legally the games on Steam.

Q3 from Telegram user @highpee
How will you decide the amount that each user will receive from the 30% of platform revenue that you intend to give back to holders and how frequent will this profit be calculated and shared? And aside from the 2% of fees that is frictionlessly returned as passive reflex yield to users wallet, don’t you have plans to create staking or farming pools with nice APY for user to stake $ULTI?

Duke Vu:
Revenue share in instant: each NFT transaction on the platform will be recorded in the smart contract, revenues will be reflected right away to all $ULTI holders in batched sequences (not yet decided on the frequency but at least once a day)

Aside from 2% reflection, we will create staking possibility yes – APY TBD.

Q4 from Telegram user @Sumione
I love NFT Projects and do you have your own launchpad for presales or any other IDO platform which I can join?

Duke Vu:
As mentioned earlier we decided to go with our own launchpad available here: https://launchpad.ultiarena.com/ – first to make sure that there’s a single interest in our project not distracted by other projects in multiple-projects IDO platforms.

Q5 from Telegram user @h1drX
The Ulti token was launched on Binance Smart Chain, on your website you made clear your preference for this blockchain before Ethereum, but you plan to convert the Ulti Arena token multi-chain and expand to other chains such as Polygon, Solana or even Ethereum in the future?

Duke Vu:
Yes, we plan to implement both ERC-721 and BEP-721 standards – meaning cross-chain implementation of NFT’s. Polygon/Matic and Solana to be discussed but nothing is out of possibility.

Q6 from Telegram user @Rakshitx5
Usually, on platforms, few people get famous and their content is being shown and sold. Underdogs do not get a chance. So what are your plans to keep giving exposure to the newbies?

Duke Vu:
We plan to hold a contest where newcomers artists can showcase their works and get awarded. The contests will be dedicated only for newcomers and shown on top of website.

Q7 from Telegram user @NSZR1
In your whitepaper it says that 30% of all transaction fees / total revenue from NFT Marketplace and for Artists / Game Developers tools will be transferred to all $ULTI holders. This is amazing, however 30% is a high number to distribute for each transaction to each user. How can this business model be beneficial for UltiArena? How can you generate income through transactions between users if a large percentage of these will go to other users? Could this business model bring some kind of complications in the economic future of your project?

Duke Vu:
This we made to ensure a long-term hold value of $ULTI. Think of it as all $ULTI holders own 30% of the company. With the rest 70% – it is clearly described in the Whitepaper: 5% for the team and rest for Development / Marketing future growth of the platform.

Please don’t forget the Proof-of-Gaming which will mean Game Studios will WANT to cooperate with us as we’ll increase the number of hours played and also engagement in their games.

Q8 from Telegram user @Eisen_7
What’s the Favorit Game of the Team?
How long are u gaming yourself?

Duke Vu:
Awesome question :))) I myself started with Mario/ Contra on SNS back in the days and also went through every PS console generation. My recent favorite games are DOTA2, Overwatch and WoW Classic.

Q9 from Telegram user @jhauch
What do you see as your unfair advantage apart from being a first mover?

Duke Vu:
Unfair advantage is in our team who’s got tremendous both Technical Experience and Entrepreneurial Experience. As with every investment, we actually believe the team is the most important part of the project.

Q10 from Telegram user @Nhairym
Your goal is to create a platform to help artists and game developers evolve hand in hand with technology, but you have the technical strategies to protect the assets of the holders who join them, and what is the level of profitability that can offer artists and other people who join the project?

Duke Vu:
Artists will earn
1. 88% of what they sell, there will be 6% transaction fee (30% of which reflected to $ULTI holders) and 6% tax (2% reflected to $ULTI holders)
2. They will earn through Royalties when someone decides to further sell their work
