My question is, what are those adoption strategies that StrongNode\nuses to keep their project growing exponentially? With this innovation lab,\nwhat benefits will your users see reflected in the long term and how will it\nhelp StrongNode consolidate position in the crypto space?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Daniel\nSaito:<\/strong> My job as CEO is to grow my digital footprint of my\ndecentrialized distributed network.&nbsp; To\nbe able to get token distribution to as many wallets as possible which will in\nthe long term help the value of the $SNE token.&nbsp;\nThese social impact plays are a form of &#8220;forced adoption&#8221;.&nbsp; When working with various blockchain projects\nback in 2017, they all had an adoption issue.&nbsp;\nIt frustrated us that no one wanted to be the first idiot to eat the\n&#8220;yellow snow&#8221;.&nbsp; We reached out\nto our closest entrepreneur buddies, and aquired and incubated the project over\nthe years.&nbsp; These are all technology\nplays, so they need infrastructure to work on.&nbsp;\nWell this is our apporach to forced adoption.&nbsp; Each roll out of a technology play helps our\ndigital footprint grow.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn&#8217;t want to launch\nproject for the sake of launching a project, we wanted to be the first to\naddress new niche sectors that would greatly benefit from the StrongNode\nnetwork; but moreover that the project has a social impact &#8211; an impact that can\nchange our everyday digital lifestyle.&nbsp; I\ndon&#8217;t want to reinvent the next facebook, to me that is boring &#8211; (we already\nworked with them early when they were still a college network for kids).&nbsp; Each project has a focus, OGLife is a network\nwhere gamers alike can relive the home lan party experience (hosting gaming\nservers at the edge) and as gaming builds a self serving community.&nbsp;&nbsp; Another successful project worth mentioning\nis Cryowar (https:\/\/cryowar.com\/), we saw the potential early in its infancy\nand helped finance it to where it is now (their IDO is in October).&nbsp; For Cryowar we are helping them develop the\ncrypto hooks into their gameplay.&nbsp; Also\nall the folks playing Cryowar can earn $SNE tokens as we will tap into the\nGamer&#8217;s PC and most Gamer&#8217;s PC have that juicy GPU, which will open the doors\nto GPU harvesting..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The StrongNode token\nhas so many use cases within the StrongNode ecosystem which includes our\ninnovation lab projects focused on gaming, social impact, entertainment,\nlifestyle platforms building on the StrongNode Edge technology. You get paid\nfor your idle resources. And others get to run workloads, processed in chunks,\non your idle resources.
