We are happy to announce our AMA session with\nStacktical!&nbsp; welcome to Satoshi Club. &#x1f600;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Hi again everyone! Ready to do this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Could\nyou please introduce yourself and tell us more about Stacktical?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Sure thing! Let\u2019s start there. My name is Wilhem Pujar, CEO of\nthe Stacktical company, core developers of DSLA Protocol. Nice to meet you all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent the past 12+ years juggling between the business and\nDevOps side of infrastructure management in various companies of all sizes.\nExecution, frontend, backend, smart contracts, product design\u2026 I have a quite\nholistic approach to the projects I contribute to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>When\nand where did you get idea to create Stacktical?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Good question! Actually, DSLA Protocol (and not Stacktical, our\ncompany) comes from a hands on experience at France\u2019s national broadcast tv\nchannel, France Televisions. I was the lead web architect for multiple\nhigh-traffic platforms crippled with scalability challenges. At the time, I\nthought there had to be a better way to scale than all-nighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I started working on a way to predict the scalability of\nonline service using mathematical models, then ultimately went on to\ndecentralize SLA contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club:<\/strong>\nOh, everything we create is based on our previous experience and our desire to\nmake everything better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Experience is intellectual yield, indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>What\nis DSLA Protocol and what does it do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>DSLA Protocol is a decentralized alternative to SLA contracts.\nOur objective is to enable developers to build applications that can reduce\nusers\u2019 exposure to infrastructure risks using SLA contracts, cryptocurrency\nliquidity pools, and programmable cryptocurrency payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DSLA Protocol enables anyone to vouch for the reliability of\nan online or connected service and get paid when the service performs as\nexpected. Conversely, users get compensated when the service does not meet\npre-defined performance and reliability objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As developers ourselves, we use DSLA Protocol to provide\nproof-of-stake delegators with a financial hedge against delegation risks,\nwhile incentivising the Quality of Service (QoS) of proof-of-stake validators\nand staking pool operators. Our MVP is live at <a href=\"https:\/\/DSLA.network\">https:\/\/DSLA.network<\/a>\nfor those of you who want to give it a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Which\nrequirements do you have for testing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>No special requirements, test ETH (Kovan) and test DSLA tokens.\nWe\u2019ll roll out an update enable you to mint test DSLA tokens to easily try out\nthe dapp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1 from Telegram user\n@iulya_i <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You had a 175% growth\nin the last 7 days and also you announced a partnership with Elrond. Are those\n2 things related to each other? What is the main purpose of the partnership\nwith Elrond and what are the benefits?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Good question, important for the future of our product initiatives\nin 2021 and beyond. I won\u2019t comment on our (market cap) growth itself, for\nobvious reasons. What I can say though, is that we are humbled by the fact that\nleading networks trust we are building something valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are definitely gaining more exposure as we onboard new\nnetworks to DSLA Protocol. Communities merge, and collaboration paves the way\nto better and\/or new products. In the specific case of Elrond, DSLA \u201cElrond\nEdition\u201d is the first announcement of a series of maximalist ports of DSLA to\nother networks than Ethereum, catering to difference audiences, with different\ncapabilities and addressing different use cases. The main benefit for us is\n100% of the Staking Risk Management market, and for our users, it\u2019s all about\nthe choice to use our Ethereum, network agnostic version or the \u201cmaximalist\u201d\nversion they like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Can\nyou name the next or give us a hint?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Haha, You\u2019ll hear about them soon enough. But they are\nsurprisingly large, if you consider that DSLA is relatively unknown for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2 from Telegram user\n@dominiksss <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>There are no\ntrustworthy, cost-effective ways to reduce customers\u2019 exposure to third-party\nservice failures. And you aim to solve this. In other words, if I supply 10k on\nvenus app and for some reason their smart contract is exploited, I can use your\nservices to protect myself from this cases in the future?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical:<\/strong>Well, the first part\nof this question is extracted from our official deck at <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stacktical-public\/STACKTICAL_DSLA-DECK.pdf\">https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stacktical-public\/STACKTICAL_DSLA-DECK.pdf<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I invite everyone to check it out, it\u2019s a great way to do a\n5m initial DYOR about DSLA Protocol. To answer the rest of the question, smart\ncontract exploits are not in the scope of DSLA contracts. This is more\nsomething that an insurance should handle. Mostly because it\u2019s a one-shot\nsecurity event, whereas service level agreements focus on providing a hedge\nagainst continuous risks using performance time series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club:<\/strong>\nBtw, i haven&#8217;t seen this before, very nice visualization &#x1f44d;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Glad you like it! Spread the love &#x1f642;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>What\nkind of insurance? Do we have it on market?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>There are a lot of (DeFi) insurance products popping everywhere\nright now. Exploits are generally associated with Nexus Mutual and a couple\nothers. Insurances are one-sided an only provide some form of coverage and\nrewards for liquidity providers though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes,\nthat recent hack was very scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical:<\/strong> Yes, but it does impact the ability of the solution to work as\nintended. Contrary to DSLA, insurances are centralized in how they assess risks,\nclaims and proceed with governance changes. On Nexus Mutual, elected members\nare NXM holders with membership rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Very\ncentralised I want to tell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>On DSLA, nobody needs to assess risk or claims. It\u2019s pure\nmathematical performance time series. Glad to be able to discuss the\ndifferences with everyone! It will matter a lot as we will bring DSLA to\ndifferent industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I\nthink it&#8217;s still a bit hard for understanding) i just got a question in pm)\n&#8220;If you need to explain DSLA to your 10 years son how would you do\nthis&#8221;. &#x1f602;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>I would say that DSLA is a collection of smart contracts that\nlets anyone add a money-back guarantee to any service based on their monitored performance.\nAnd it can do money-forward, to reward service providers for their excellent\njob.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for traders, that would be an option call\/put, on the\nfuture performance of a given service! We have a lot in common with a\nprediction market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nice! I know it can feel a tiny bit daunting, but once you\nget it, you can apply it to all can of performance-driven industries. As I\nexpressed in other AMAs, we know for a fact that space exploration, for\nexample, needs a protocol like DSLA to guarantee the reliability of space\ninfrastructures and inter-satellite communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3 from Telegram user\n@vinniepu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On the website it&#8217;s\nmentioned instant crypto compensation in case of failure and instant crypto\nrewards in case of success. Who is distributing those funds and are they made\nthrough a smart contract? If yes, what if the parties want to change the terms\nof the contract. Would it be possible to edit the smart contract?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Love this. So basically, to create a hedge against staking\ninfrastructure risks, both proof-of-stake delegators and their validator will\nstake DSLA tokens to a DSLA contract. This pool is depleted after DSLA\ncontracts are verified. On a weekly basis, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the contract is breached, the delegators get compensated\nbased on their stake (money-back). Conversely, if the contract is honoured, the\ncontract creator (either a validator or someone vouching fo rone), is rewarded.\nDSLA can also be used to trigger and settle DSLA contract update workflows\n(e.g. Company A needs more TPS from Provider 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are familiar with DevOps and IT Service Management,\nthis will remind you of some of the things you\u2019ll find in APM\/NPM tools. We\u2019re\ndefinitely building a fully-fledged risk management protocol, and DSLA\ncontracts are a new form of governance vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Who\ncreated this contracts? How big is your team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Either someone representing a staking pool, e.g. Everstake, or\nsomeone willing to bet that Everstake will do a great job. The DSLA Protocol\ncontracts themselves are created in-house by our core team. As of today, DSLA\nProtocol is a team of 10 people working on marketing, advocacy, product\nmanagement, development and operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 devs, including myself + the technical support of core teams\nlike Elrond\u2019s and other unannounced leading teams in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4 from Telegram user\n@kafeinen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>it&#8217;s stated on your\nwebsite that reliability claims are auditable through a secure, resilient index\nof service analytics. Please explain what&#8217;s this index of service analytics?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Another excellent question, directly connected with our\nChainlink partnership. As I said before, DSLA contracts are enforced using\nperformance time-series. We continuously collect and decentralize staking\nanalytics to an index, that the protocol uses to establish that a DSLA contract\nhas been breached or honored. We\u2019re currently building a Polkadot version of\nthis indexer, as per our W3F\/Polkadot grant. You\u2019ll hear much more details\nabout this initiative next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chainlink is responsible for bridging the index and the\nprotocol smart contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>You\nhave Polkadot grant?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Yes, we are W3F \/ Polkadot grant recipients. Working on\nbringing our research on ITSM, performance and reliability management to the\nPolkadot ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple months ago, we shipped <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/Stacktical\/willitscale-polkadot\">https:\/\/github.com\/Stacktical\/willitscale-polkadot<\/a>\n\u201cA Predictive Analysis Platform for Blockchain Network Researchers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Actually,\ni see, that all projects are happy to welcome DSLA) do you have competitors in\nthis field?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>You always have competitors! Our competition is any solution\nthat aims at reducing exposure to risks and improving the QoS of connected and\nonline services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This breaks down into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; 1\/ ITSM Platforms or Products with Service Level\nManagement capabilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; 2\/ Insurance products from (decentralized) insurtech\ncompanies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I\nknow all kinds of projects but i never heard about those, who will reduce\nexposure to risks etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical:<\/strong> Yes, there are a lot of ways to improve the experience of your\ncustomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"509\" src=\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSL2-1024x509.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/satoshi-club.esipick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSL2-1024x509.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/satoshi-club.esipick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSL2-300x149.jpg 300w, https:\/\/satoshi-club.esipick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSL2-768x382.jpg 768w, https:\/\/satoshi-club.esipick.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSL2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what I believe to be a good way to map the space\nbetween Insurance and Governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>By\nthe way could you please share information about your token, what it&#8217;s function\nin your system? because there are only 2 question left in this part and none of\nthem about your tokenomics &#x1f604; and as i know you had\na token burn event not long time ago. right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical:<\/strong> Sure, it\u2019s an important topic, often misunderstood. Issuing a\ncoin gives core development teams the ability to adapt monetary policies to the\nuse case they are building. As IT Service Management professionals, we have\nalways been looking for a scalable way to draft, monitor and enforce SLA\ncontracts, as well as a budget to incentivize Site Reliability Engineering\npractices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we meshed ITSM practices and crypto economics to build\none. The DSLA token is a tokenized version of \u201cservice credits\u201d, that have been\nused by DevOps, Customer Support and Marketing teams in the web hosting,\ntelecom and logistics industry for decades, but lacked a standard until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a utility token, DSLA serves the purpose of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Hedging against risks by Staking SLA premiums to\nDSLA contracts, as a Voucher \/ Provider \/ Customer<\/li><li>Earning SLA rewards at the end of a SLA period,\nupon breached or honoured DSLA contract<\/li><li>Stabilize SLA premiums with utility token burns\n(e.g. upon SLA reward claims)<\/li><li>Triggering and settling DSLA contract update\nworkflows (e.g. Company A needs more TPS from Provider 1)<\/li><li>Driving governance and design changes in DSLA\nProtocol (e.g. SLA reward distribution split)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recent token burns was a radical step towards reducing\nthe power of the core team to empower the rest of the community, and pave the\nway to a more decentralized governance of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. | Satoshi Club:<\/strong>\nI have a small additional question, so total supply of your token will be\nincreasing or decreasing through the time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>The total supply of DSLA will actually decrease over time, with\nusage of DSLA Protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5 from Telegram user\n@occupyingmars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Your project seems to\nbe based on solid tech. Why do you need a farming option?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>There\u2019s no \u201cfarming\u201d option so to speak. We\u2019re only interested\nin creating incentives for the project to move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The liquidity mining program was designed to thank our\nUniswap liquidity providers for pouring their ETH + DSLA into our official\npool. I think these practices are simply poised to become standard. But beyond\nUniswap, liquidity mining is a great incentivise to lock funds in any kind of\nvault. Like DSLA contracts\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>For\nsure, but you took this opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>We did! But as an extra. Food coins only do farming, which is\nnot an utility by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes,\nthat&#8217;s true. If i will buy your coins what i can do with them? As ordinary\ncrypto user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>All of the things described here! I think one of the key\naspects of delegating is that, it\u2019s really something for the regulator crypto\nusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s basically a cryptocurrency savings account. It makes\nsense for you to hedge against losses and potential drops in performance of\nyour validator. We recently ran an incentivized beta for DSLA in November, with\ndocumentation available at <a href=\"https:\/\/readme.stacktical.com\/dsla-incentivized-beta\/\">https:\/\/readme.stacktical.com\/dsla-incentivized-beta\/<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official user manual is still a work in progress, but\nit\u2019s a great way to get started with the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q6 from Telegram user\n@debrasnider<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Is stacktical focused\non infrastructure-level threats and vulnerabilities only or is it like an\ninsurance against anything bad that can happen to a project?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Anything that can be monitored over time, in any industry.\nStaking SLAs is our flagship use case. But you can have Clean Air SLAs for\necological governance, Airport SLAs to enforce a consistent quality of service\nacross airport service providers and much more. Generally, when data, services,\ngoods are delivered, and people are transported, there is a risk of delays and\noutages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mary | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>And\nthis is something non-blockchain related) did you try to make partnerships with\nnon-blockchain projects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>We\u2019re focused on addressing these systemic, infrastructure\nrisks, because they\u2019re foundational to building the neighborhood, city, country\nand cross-planet world of tomorrow. Yes, we have large Fortune 500 level\ncompanies that expressed strong interest in DSLA. More about that soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PART 2, TELEGRAM COMMUNITY LIVE\nQUESTIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nchat was open for 80 seconds; a lot of questions were posted by Satoshi Club\ncommunity. Our guest chose some of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q1 from Telegram User @Spott<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What are the requirements for\nPOS\/DPOS users to make use of DSLA protocols?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>We must add support for the network of your choice in DSLA\nProtocol. As of today we\u2019ve officially announced support for ONE, BAND, DOT and\neGLD staking SLAs. Much more to come when we launch on the mainnet in Q1 2021\nand beyond.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2 from Telegram User @jerryziz91<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How is DSLA different from regular\ncode of conduct SLA? How do you plan to get DSLA contracts more adopted with\nthe businesses? What&#8217;s advantageous in it with the decentralization layer?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Traditional SLA are hard to negotiate, monitor, upgrade and\nenforce. They\u2019re also disconnected with the payment of compensation, that goes\nthrough a different customer service process involving a lot of intermediaries\nfor unproven results. This approach doesn\u2019t scale, especially when a large\nnumber of stakeholders are involved. Like in the recent AWS outage.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3 from Telegram User @brodzonl<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Elrond is doing very good these days,\nI was impressed when heard you partnershiped with them. Can you tell us how are\nyour project and Elrond helping each other to become better?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Glad you like that our teams are joining forces! With Elrond\nwe\u2019re working on two things. First is to add eGLD support to DSLA Protocol, so\nthat eGLD delegators can hedge against staking infrastructure risks, while eGLD\nvalidators get incentivized for their operational excellence. Second, is to\ncreate an Elrond-native version of DSLA Protocol to address high throughput use\ncases that are not currently possible on Ethereum.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4 from Telegram User @smelekin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How can I make investment into your\nproject, is it through uniswap?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical:<\/strong> DSLA is currently available on 1inch.exchange, Uniswap,\nMooniswap, Balancer, IDEX and a couple other CEX exchanges.

If you don\u2019t use it, well you won\u2019t use anything. &#x1f642;<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q8 from Telegram User @sirdefi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I&#8217;m very curious to know that the\nDSLA Protocol started in 2019 and according to its roadmap it is next year that\nthey plan to launch the mainnet. What has been the reason for this delay?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>There is no delay. Products must ship when they\u2019re ready to\nmeet their market, after properly validating functional, non-functional and\nsecurity requirements.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q9 from Telegram User @shuvoapon5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A lot of new projects have been\nlaunched around us now.&nbsp; 60% of which are\nscamming.&nbsp; In such a situation, investors\nare removing themselves from new projects.&nbsp;\nNew projects in particular are failing to deliver on their promises,\nleaving investors with huge losses.&nbsp; Can\nyou clearly say why investors will like your project and why they have\nconfidence in your project?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>We have a consistent track record of hitting our milestones.\nOur progress is tangible, and we\u2019re growing on pretty much all dimensions. I\ncan\u2019t speak for the community, but I feel like we\u2019re getting to a point where\nthe value proposition of a risk management protocol like DSLA, with actual\ncommercial viability, is crystal clear for everyone. They also know we live by\nthe hustle and won\u2019t let them down.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q10 from Telegram User @KhaleesiTheCryptoLady<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was the biggest mistake you did\nin your entire crypto journey? And how did you deal with it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>It takes a bit of time to understand that community development\nis not scalable. It\u2019s a 1:1 relationship, you need to invest a good chunk of\nyour time truly getting to know everyone. Today, I feel close to a lot of DSLA\nchampions. I know I can meet them for beers any day. We\u2019re definitely in this\ntogether.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q11 from Telegram User @Joshblaze<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What other utilities are you and your\nteam working on?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilhem Pujar \u2013\nStacktical: <\/strong>Along with reducing exposure to staking efficiency drops,\nslashing and more in Proof-of-Stake networks, we are working on enabling DeFi\nAMM liquidity providers with ways to reduce their exposure to impermanent\nlosses, using DSLA contracts.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q12 from Telegram User @LLeeKuanYew<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Currently, I see Stacktical being\ntraded for the majority of the money on DEX exchanges.

In our findings, it\u2019s pretty rare to manage any kind of risk from\nyour phone. That\u2019s more of a desktop activity, where you better control mind\nand body.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q15 from Telegram User @tsafik<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I read through your social media and\nnoticed that you also have bDSLA tokens, what are those and how can the users\nget hold onto those?
