Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Hello, dear Satoshi Clubbers! <\/strong>We are pleased to announce our AMA with Vlad.Finance. <\/strong>Today our guest is @DeFiVlad!🧛♂️<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Welcome to Satoshi club @DeFiVlad<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Hey guys! Excited to be here today<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thanks for joining 😉 how are you doing?🧛♂<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Very good..Thanks for having me<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>we’re a little excited too. not every day Vlad himself comes to AMA 🧛♂😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>It’s an honor for us<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Haha\u2026 yes the meme is strong in our community<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>If you are ready we have a standard procedure😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Our community realised we could have a serious defi platform but have fun at the same\u2026we all sit in fron our computers all day\u2026why not smile and have a good time while you are at. itready when you are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>And please give us a short introduction about Vlad.Finance<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>To begin with, please tell us a few words about yourselves and how did you get to be involved in crypto & Vlad.Finance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Sure.. So while I am ANON on this project..I have been working in the industry for many years. I am a consultant on a few projects that all of you would know\u2026and I was CTO of a old project some of you might remember. Currently I am involved with a few fintech projects besides VLAD. VLAD began in a moderators group on TG..The admins of the DeFi Safety group DefiYield.info. I have been admin there for a long time and we have been fighting rugs and scams in DeFi. Our admins started to talk about all the bad projects and scams on BSC and figured we could do better. I joked\u2026i should start $VLAD<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Notable names👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>it snowballed and became a project..We looked at various models but it came together really quick. we had no idea it would go viral on the first day and grow the way it did<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>We can say that you are in the right place at the right time.😉 So we quickly formed a real team\u2026worked out how to take our meme coin and build a real BSC platform for the long run<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Sounds good 😉<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Why did you choose the BSC platform?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Great Question..BSC is a much easier place for small projects due to transaction fees. Even deploying smart contracts is less of a hurdle on BSC. The other part is we felt it would be easier for smaller defi users to participate and that was important for me. I did not want to create a platform for whales<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I agree with you my friend, great decision<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Yes. I think all of our choices are made to help build community of all wallet sizes. I know we have many small farmers enjoying the platform with just a few bucks. Everyone is welcome at Vladhalla! lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you for that great introduction, let’s proceed with the first question of this part of the AMA. Are you ready or do you want to add something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>go for it\u2026im excited to see what questions you have for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q1 from Telegram User @Lostcoin1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What motivates your\nchoice behind the NFT artists you are selecting for Vlad? Do you see yourself\nchoosing more famous artists in the future? It could be cool to onboard\nknown\/famous artists that have never made NFTs before.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>When we started the project and decided to add the NFT platform. I had no idea how to find artists or what kind of art to do. It was a great learning expience.. What ended up happening is I just started talking to anyone who would listen. At first when I would say..Hey, Im from VLAD and we need art based on a PEPE DRAKUL.. not alot of people would listen to me\u2026However as the project matured it got easier. Artists started to contact me and known artists started to take my calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Eventually we found a path by working with establish unknown artists who were looking to get into NFTs and some known established artists who i convinced to make some amazing art. The first collection features 3 works by a \u201cknown\u201d NFT artist and 7 by unkown artists. In the near future we will continue blending known and unknown artits\u2026 in the long run the artists will be curated by VLAD holder\u2026 #alpha<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Please share with us some of those works 😃<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>this is quite competent marketing you did it 👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Ok one moment please<\/p>\n\n\n\n This piece for example was done in collab with two artists. One did the painting and the other created the effects. its one of two different Gates of Vladhalla pieces. Ill share another one. moment please<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Very nice😍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Wow I like the concept<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>You can ask next question while I download the next one<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>For sure. Thanks for share those pieces of art👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I think what you are doing is unique. tell me how you protect copyright. is there copy protection for these works of art?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q2\nfrom Telegram User @johana0012<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The doors of Vladhalla will open through your market very soon. Bringing the best NFT art on the BSC Network. Can you explain the relationship between the first Genesis NFTs created by emerging artists on Binance Smart Chain with $ VIDA?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>A question in relation with that we was talking about<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>So due to timing of project and how it started and several other factors. The first collection of NFTs are purely artistic at this point with several rarity tiers. Due to timing and complexity we were not able to add utility to them at launch..However the team is focused on utility based NFTs in the future and its my intension to bring untility to the most rarest 1st edition NFTs at some point. all our art is unique\u2026I worked directly with artists to make sure they are unique and fun and different\u2026no copy right\u2026I think with NFTs it doesnt matter if someone steals it..Only our NFTS will be created from our account and the NFT owners will know they own the original<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes! you still have a lot of work👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Yes, that’s the benefit of NFTs, all of them are uniques in the blockchain<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>we havent even released teh full internal roadmap\u2026there is sooo much work left to be done..Hopefully the community lets us keep building and building<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>It’s good that you think about it. We are at the moment of the birth of a new crypto art. 😊🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>The Vladiator community wanted me to share one more piece. it hasnt gone through our post production effects yet so the final piece will look different but they love it as it is already so ill share<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>With our pleasure<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Golden Pepes Drakul<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>i like this one😁. golden mustache suits him very much 😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>So, what is your main target for 2021?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Great question\u2026 Right now our team is focused on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1st edition NFTs<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2nd edition NFTs<\/p>\n\n\n\n MarketPlace launch<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3rd edition utility NFTs<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are working on the marketplace to have liquidity in every NFT so that users can sell back to the marketplace without waiting for a buyer\u2026 #alpha<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Great targets for this year, it’s seems that you will be really busy😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>That’s our target for the next 2 months lol. After that I have even more items planned but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s a ton of work to get thru as it is<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>For sure my friend. Then, are you ready to proceed with our next question?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Yes please<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q3\nfrom Telegram User @Michelth<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Users can choose to be\nliquidity providers (LP) in different pools and all of them reward LIFE. Could\nyou detail the pools and their respective yield multiplier for farmers?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>We wish you strength and immortality as written on your website💪😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Yes we have 4 pools on our website app.vlad.finance <\/p>\n\n\n\n VLAD-bUSD x 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n VLAD-BNB x 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n LIFE-bUSD x 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n LIFE-BNB x 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n They all earn LIFE rewards. you can use SUPRA finance vaults to autocompound or Friction.Finance to earn TAO<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Btw, congratulations Satoshi Club community, we are 50k members 🥳<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Congratulations 🎉🎊👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Noticed that too! Congrats!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Is there a mobile app planned?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>We will not create a specific mobile app for VLAD.. As a DeFi safety guy at heart\u2026doing Defi on your phone might sound fun..But boy does that leave you exposed\u2026in real life..phone loss, accidental screen touches etc!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>That’s true, a phone doesn’t provide safety at all<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>I think our site works in mobile and you can interact, however some users have said that our music player is not optimal on mobile<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you, the group has growing with the help of amazing projects like yours👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks for the clarification<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Safety first👍 @DeFiVlad Speaking of safety, by the way. Are you planning an audit of smart contracts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Yes we are\u2026 With our partnership with Friction.Finance we will get reviewed by CERTIK. Due to our community engagement we will also get a DefiYield audit ( most important for me! best auditor there is!!! ) I also talked to Solidity about an audit which they will do as soon as our marketplace contracts are done. They are great guys there..I have butted heads with them before over some bad projects that got by their team but they admitted to past issues and changed how they operate now and I think they are doing a great job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s M. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Congratulations, a great step to generate user trust<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>My focus the past year or so has been DeFi safety\u2026.so protecting our own users is priority #1<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>excellent selection of auditors👍 thanks for the answer! Ready to jump on to the next question<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q4\nfrom Telegram User @Brainchest<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Seeing the picture of the\nBank of Vladhalla in the article on Medium, I thought it not only sounds very\ncool, but what if there will be a DeFi project with the ability to buy tokens\ndirectly from my card?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Question. Do you have\nplans to make a fiat gateway to buy and sell for fiat earned tokens or NFT?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Lol… How many more aces do you have up your sleeve?😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another great question\u2026So like I said I am involved\nin Fintech projects apart from VLAD. Creating fiat on and off ramps is not easy!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>I cannot catch you by surprise. You have nft for all\nquestions 😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>The regulatory hurdles are\ninsane. I have a project that was tied up in governement regulations for years\u2026 Fiat to crypto and crypto is not fast or simple\u2026 So i dont see us exploring that avenue for now.. However\u2026There are more and more companies offering\nplugins that process fiat into crypto..like simplexx for example\u2026maybe in the\nfuture we will add support for something like that\u2026if they start to support BSC\nprojects<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>For some reason, it seems to me that this time is\nalready close! Do you want to add something? \nOr can we proceed to the next question?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>next<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>@AndresM77 shoot please🚀🚀🚀<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q5 from Telegram User @Antoni_azx<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the premises of this project is \u201cHOLD to\nachieve immortality\u201d, how does the process to earn income passively just by\ndoing HOLDING works? Which of the tokens on your platform is destined to be the\nprotagonist in relation to rewards and incentives?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>another good one. So while LIFE is getting all the attention right now\nwith NFT drops coming soon\u2026 VLAD is\nthe core token\u2026it will always be the core token\u2026 just something to think about 😉 The HODL\nbehind VLAD is that its an auto yield token\u20262% of each transaction is burned\nwhich reduces the supply and another 2% \nis distributed to all HOLDers. they earn passive income\u2026we dont track how much daily since its based on\nvolume but users say they get a very healthy amount daily..we even have a guy\nwe call the ATM owner who shows up once a day to tell us how much he earned\nthat day<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s\nM. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Talking about VLAD token, could tell us about\ntokenomics, how is the amount distribution?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>yeah\u2026sure\u2026 So when me and the team launched the project we decided to make it as fair as\npossible. We minted\n1m token.. 10% went\nto treasury\u2026which we have been using to pay artists and devs and upcoming\nmarketing costs. 10% was\nsplit between the team, myself and some lucky airdroppers. the other 80% we put in pancakeswap with a TINY\namount of liquidity and then I burned the LP token to lock it forever<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first hours of VLAD were wild..since the\nliquidity was so small, poeple were building stacks like $20 at a time..no\nwhales could buy up a big portion within hours we went from like 0.001c per VLAD to i think 30c on the\nfirst day. I can\u2019t\nrecall the exact specifics but it was a wild first few days<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Incredible!👏<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>of the 10% i personally only\nhave 10% im\nnowhere near the top 20 holders even… Its about as fair as I could be<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thank you very much for your answers! Everything is\nclear to me! Are you ready to move on to the last question in this part?<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>yes<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s\nM. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>As well is clear for me, thank you @DeFiVlad for\nthis detailed answers. And now\nwe have the last question of this part<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q6 from Telegram User @JesusFre1tes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Vlad is aiming to push premium NFT tokens on the BSC\nchain. We know that BSC is the new booming network, many projects are being\nbuilt or have migrated to BSC. What are the reasons why you decided to work\nwith this network? Why do you think BSC will give you more value and use cases\nfor your NFTs to become premium? How will this network help you unlock the\npotential that is still missing in today\u2019s NFTs?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>I think we covered part of\nthis earlier but one could say LIFE is easier on BSC \u2026lol<\/p>\n\n\n\n -cheaper fees for users<\/p>\n\n\n\n -cheaper deployement for devs ( which means more\ntesting )<\/p>\n\n\n\n – faster transactions so no waiting..<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from that..I think BSC users are more open to\nexpreimental protocols and doing different things..<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think becuase the fees are so low..users can also\nexperiment with small amounts of money to see what they like and don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gold\nRocket | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Thanks a lot for your time and answers! It was very\neducational! 👍<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>i think NFTS are mostly on\nERC network now becuase that is where the good artists are and good\nmarketplaces are\u2026 That was\nmy goal since the start of this project..Bring that awesome art to BSC<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s\nM. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>ERC is most known, maybe that’s the reason, people\ndon’t know the benefits of BSC<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi\nVlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>We will bring them over\u2026one\nVladiator at a time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Andr\u00e9s\nM. | Satoshi Club: <\/strong>Great goal my friend and great project, we are happy\nto know all that info about Vlad.Finance, I enjoyed to much this first part of\nthe AMA😁<\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Thats what we want to do now..Make really high quality art based on a light hearted subject matter that brings us all together<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q1 from Telegram User<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong><\/em>@JuanSB07<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 🐗🧛🏻🏚<\/em>️<\/em>⚰<\/em>️ Vlad Finance\non his website has images and some animations inspired by vampires and some\nspecies of monsters. Which is fun for a lot of fans of vampirism. Could you\ntell me what is the origin and the reasons why they were based on these themes?<\/em> <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Well\u2026as I stated the project started a bit silly and meme like..The name VLAD came first becasue I am VLAD\u2026wasn\u2019t ego driven but more meme driven\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n After we knew it was called VLAD\u2026there was only one way it could go! the most famous Vlad of all Vlad Tepes Drakul\u2026 aka Dracula..<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we are in crypto so we cant do anything normal so we went with Vlad Pepes Drakul and the meme was born!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This 1st collection of art will honor that meme but expect us to expand our range of art in future collections<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q<\/strong><\/em>2<\/strong><\/em> from Telegram User<\/strong><\/em> <\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/strong>@Antoni_azx<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Genesis Collections will be the first VLAD\nNFTs available for minting, can we know which artists are involved in the\ncreation of this art? Why will your NFTs be valuable and worth to trade?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n DeFi Vlad – Head of Vlad.Finance: <\/strong>Yes. Once minting begins we will release and tag all artists involved..Some are already lurking in our TG group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q<\/strong><\/em>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/esatoshi.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/video_2021-03-24_11-19-53.gif\")
