Hey everybody, good morning. Today we have a space with question. Is that how you pronounce it? That is correct. Hello, X, how are you? Hello, hello, welcome. So we still
waiting for a little more people to show up. Would you like to, I know you've been on this space before but it's been a while, I'm sure a lot of people forgot maybe a lot of new people. If you want to just introduce yourself a little bit. Of course, so thanks for having me on here today, Wax. My name is Orrin Orrin Campbell.
I am the founder of Question. Question is a Web 3 survey marketplace where users complete surveys, it can be short answer, multiple choice, and they earn rewards for completing those surveys. So those rewards can be cash, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and/or our virtual credit.
And so before we release the survey marketplace, we are currently offering a mint and partnership with Paris. If you go to our website, qstn.us, we're minting over 1,000 NFT pieces each for one near to try and build out community and social identity for the upcoming platform that will release in June. Thank you.
Should we pin some information for the men to this day? That is perfect out of there right now.
I guess we're going to have a mint party today. I think that's the first time on Chilling Sheldon. We have a project that's actually minting. I'm excited.
Okay, so we got the post 1000 generative NFTs only one near Could you tell us a little bit about this NFTs from like a customer perspective? Why would somebody want to own it and buy? Of course, so these NFTs are inspired by the question logo, which is the question mark, right? So it's a question mark and at the bottom
bottom you're holding a coin because you earn for answering questions. And so based on this concept of the question mark, we created the symbol family. So there's four different avatars that you can mint the question mark, the exclamation point, the hashtag and the comma. The question mark being the most common, the exclamation point hashtag and the comma being the
more rare items. And so we worked with 20 different near projects to get permission to use their logo as a generative trait. So not only can you mint four different character types, you can also mint different logos from Paris, from ref finance, from mint base, and those have different rarities as well. So that's a little bit about the history and the ideologies.
in terms of utility, each NFT is a digital avatar, and so when you mint your NFT in about two weeks we're going to allow you to claim the GLB file. And the GLB file is a skin for your specific NFT so that you can wear it in the metaverse. So they're not just NFTs, they're also metaverse skins that
that you can wear near hub in substrata and crypto voxels anywhere where they accept GLB files. And then in June, when we begin to open up the survey marketplace, any holder of the NFTs will get early access. They'll be able to start earning from their data immediately and be able to give us test feedback on the initial prototype. Thank you.
And could you talk a little bit about how on this NFTs maybe changes the mechanics of your app from the user perspective? Of course. So since we can track all the
the holders of these NFTs. We want to make sure that again, they get early access to the survey marketplace. So anybody who's a holder will check the blockchain and will whitelist you to have access. And then we're also going to try and just give you in platform benefits. So again,
Question is a survey marketplace, so businesses create profiles and list surveys, and then users complete those surveys and earn rewards. And so we're thinking holders of this will get extra privileges in the platform, such as air drops and access to exclusive surveys that might be higher paying.
That's great. I guess we're done with the NFT topic. Let's move on with more interesting questions. Could you tell us, maybe you personally, how did you get into blockchain and to near and eventually ended up building the question protocol? Of course. So my name is Orin. I'm born and raised
New York and I ended up graduating from NYU with a degree in marketing. When I graduated I worked in music and fashion. I ended up doing music myself and being featured on Dr. Phil's National Television show. So if anybody here is on Google and they Google Dr. Phil Cyborg you'll see videos of me with millions of views. So I created
created this public caricature as a cyborg from the future and I said that if we don't change our relationship with disease, famine, environmental disaster then we're all heading towards an apocalypse. A bit dramatic but I believe in this, right? So not only did I go on television for creating this cyborg character and talking about this but I ended up starting my own interview show.
So you can also go on YouTube, type in cyborg, orn, welcome to the Matrix and I interviewed a couple celebrities and I ended up talking to Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's an astrophysicist from New York very popular. He does a lot of space television shows. On this interview show I would talk to them about data, about future predictions, about humanity.
And when I asked Neil the grass Tyson about data, he said data is a human rights issue, right? We go on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and we agree to the terms in condition, to the privacy policy, and we sell our rights to our data and these companies profit without sharing that value back to us. And that really inspired me because as an artist,
I have a quarter million followers on TikTok. I have 40,000 on YouTube. I have 15,000 on Instagram. I don't really own the data that I'm propagating on these platforms. I don't even own my followers. And so I thought, why keep being a slave to the corporations and to the algorithms? Why not make
my own platform. I had been investing in cryptocurrency since 2017, and so I thought, why not go from being a passive investor to being a builder? Luckily, I met the mid-base team. They kind of explained and introduced near to me, and that kind of inspired me to start building this data monetization platform on near.
This is a very inspiring story and you already touched a little bit of this but Could you go a little more in depth? Sort of what is the problem with the way data is handled in today's world? Of course right now Data is basically just seen as something that business
businesses can automatically take use and abuse. And we need to start seeing data as a human right. There are things about me that are personal, that are trapped within my data that could be revealing and/or personal to me. And so I think if businesses are going to be handling this, they need the proper tools and infrastructure.
to be handling data, but also to be paying you for it, right? Because there's value being generated and that value is not being shared with the original content creator. And so my goal is to bring some of that value back to the original content creator. And so to create an interface where businesses can ask these questions,
users can answer them and there's a streamlined process for both parties to take away the value that they're looking for. And I was inspired by a couple different play to earn, learn to earn, move to earn projects, right? I think sweatcoin is a cool example of trying to get people to take a daily action to get paid. I think Pine Network
is another cool example of that. And so I thought people will take a daily micro transaction or micro action. Let's do it with data, right? Let's get people to enter these surveys, right? Surveys are already boring. Let's try to gamify it and make it exciting because it is a method that's not going away for the foreseeable future.
Here's one I've asked about this. So data has certain price on it, right? I have no idea to be honest, but it's like X amount of dollars for thousands right off. Data entries and information on people. Do you think, like I'm pretty sure that
price is pretty low, probably less than a couple cents per entry. Would it be like a problem that it wouldn't worth for people to take a daily action for such a small amount of money? That's a good question. So a statistic that I learned was that basically by the age of 21, you've generated over $10,000
worth of value for third-party marketers. And sometimes within a year, Facebook can make anywhere between $10 to $80, often individual users' personal information. And so what we're doing at question is that whenever you complete a survey, there's a couple of ways you get paid, right?
Basically, when a business creates a survey, they also create a survey smart contract. Within the smart contract, they can fund it with cryptocurrencies or with NFTs. If they decide to use cash, then we set the base rate per survey at 25 cents per survey. So that's another thing that question is trying to do is we're trying to
to bring a value to data, a quantifiable value or metric. So that if somebody says, hey, answer this survey, they'll say, no, I get $0.25 per survey on question. I believe my data might be worth $0.50 for this survey. So we're doing $0.25 per survey to try and bring a value to consumers data into their time.
Is there demand from the other side of who would buy that data for such price? Of course so right now Question has their NFT release again guys go to Qst and that us go to the minted tweet and go mint an NFT We're gonna be releasing the survey marketplace in June and so so far we've currently been talking to em
NYU, which is the college that I went to, and why would we be trying to use a serving marketplace with educational universities? Let me explain this to you. So right now, about 40% of colleges and universities are offering blockchain and cryptocurrency courses. And so we're trying to work with these universities to become the
homework or survey platform so that as students learn about blockchain in the classrooms, they can take quizzes and homework on question and receive NFTs and trackable verifiability of their data contribution. So educational universities like NYU, we're currently speaking to L'Oreal and I have a meeting
with STA Lauder next week, right? Because these are big legacy companies. They constantly are putting out new products. They want to get market feedback on existing and future products. And so this can kind of be a self-service marketing portal to collect data. And the whole goal of question is, hey, if we put a value at the end of
the survey, will the person be more truthful? Will they answer more questions? Right? Can we get their attention for longer? And so that's basically the basis of question, right? Can we get more concentrated data collection if we offer an incentive, whether it's money, whether it's cryptocurrency, whether it's NFTs or combination of the sorts?
And with these big legacy brands, how do you see it implemented? Would it be like they would funnel their customers to your platform or it would be on the back end through their? Exactly. So businesses will create a profile on question, you know, question.com/cococola. When you go to that profile, you'll be able to see all of the NFT
that they have up, you'll be able to see all of the surveys. And so businesses will share those links. They'll say, "Hey, Coca-Cola fans, Goats complete survey one. They'll share that link. Users will complete the survey during the reward. And then we have a suggestive algorithm that will suggest new surveys to those new users who completed that Coca-Cola survey."
Go on. Have another question. So like we talked about sort of like how Facebook uses the data right and how it's collected everywhere through the internet and mostly as far as I understand it's not happening through like a questionnaires or people going through surveys is mostly happening by us just the
Sort of doing whatever we want to do on the internet and data being collecting at the same time through our actions So kind of like how does question solve that or like what's your even like perspective? So I agree right the most important data that businesses want is your subconscious data
right? Because people lie during surveys, right? Or when they think about a question, they might overthink it and not give a truthful answer. So businesses want the passive, subconscious information, and that's the true use. So how do we do that? And I'm excited to kind of share this because this is a new development that we're rapidly
working on. Instead of giving you a profile on question, what you're going to have, your profile will actually be a data wallet. So the question team is working on a data wallet called CUBBY. In America, when you go to school and you're a kid in a gardener, they say, "Put your clothes or put your stuff in your CUBBY." And your CUBBY is kind of like your
closet. And so CUBB is going to be the question, data wallet, which is a browser extension. So when you connect to question, see question as the open C for survey marketplaces, right? And when you connect with your data wallet, you're connecting, quote, unquote, with your metamask. So let's kind of focus in on this data wallet.
So the data wallet is where you complete the survey and then you sign, okay, I authorize for the administrator of question and for the business to receive my information and in return, I'll get paid. The first version of the wallet is going to be simple. Approving authorizations, denying authorizations,
Completing surveys and connecting to question. In the future, we want to basically create how to explain this. Basically, you'll be able to connect your data wallet to your phone and authorize your cookie activity and just directly give it to us.
So we're creating an interface to be able to collect that passive information through your data wallet. You'll collect all of that information in your data wallet and then you'll sign to authorize to give it away. And I'm super, super excited about this data wallet. It's really a separate product, but we're going to show the use case of it through questions.
And I believe that this is there's a market opening because there aren't that many data wallets in the market, right? There might be one or two web two versions, but there aren't that many web three versions. And so I think the data wallet is going to be a really cool interface to manage these types of transactions, the conscious ones and subconscious ones. I hope that answers your question.
That's definitely very interesting. Would you say it's a little similar to what Brave Browser is doing? Exactly. I'm getting a feedback right now. But yeah, Brave Browser is definitely a source of inspiration, right? You allow them to track your cookies. They basically give you some sort of passive income for that. Exactly.
I see this very interesting. So like if you create a wallet that's basically in Web 3 world that's sort of like your gateway to everything, all the internet, so it allows you to track all the data. Exactly. And the goal with this data wallet is to allow other applications to connect it. So we're trying to make it
an open source product. So we're developing the data wallet. It'll be a separate open source product and we'll show users how it can be integrated by integrating it into question and hopefully seeding it out from there. >> And how do we approach the block principle as it may be trading with blockchain specific?
- Good question. So it's going to be blockchain agnostic, really. For right now, the first iteration will be compatible with Nier, but we're trying to make it blockchain agnostic, and it'll be built using Filecoin as well. - Got it. That's very interesting.
like something we haven't heard about yet, but hopefully it works out. Although while you use this wallet and you browse on your internet, everybody else still collects and sells your data, right? Exactly. So the goal would be that, okay, so in 2024, Google is supposed
to be outlawing cookies. It was supposed to be this year, but because so many companies Google included rely on cookies, they pushed it to 2024. It might even be pushed to 2025, given the way things go. But our goal is that we're planning for the new future of data interactions. If companies are becoming more and more stringent on data processing,
and data transfers and data handling, right? We're trying to create the infrastructure so that when businesses do have to get your permission, you can authorize it from that data wallet. So we're creating the infrastructure, showing the use case ourselves, and then we'll be ready for everybody when the industry kind of catches up or for early people who want to take that step today or tomorrow.
Well, that's very interesting. I see you guys are building for the future. Speaking on that, could you tell me how do you see the future of data and your own place in it in like five years? Of course. So I see data as a human right
right? And I see it as an asset and I see it as a valuable asset. And so I think in the next five years, everybody's going to have a pod or data canister. And from this data canister, you'll be connected with different sponsors who want access to your data. And so from your data canister or
your data wallet, you'll be approving requests. And when I say approving requests, think of a dating app. You'll be swiping left or swiping right, right? It'll say, Hey, Warren, you have all of your data, you own all of your data in your pod. And based on your preferences, you would be a good match with these sponsors.
They want to access this part of your data wallet for this long and in return you'll be receiving this value whether it's cash, rewards, discount codes, or future benefits. And so I kind of see data being exchanged with the user's consent and tools to manage and
track the verifiability. And I would guess and hope and I'm planning that question will be a major player within the space helping to conduct these transactions, helping to educate people on data and eventually running our own hackathons, right? Having other developers help build out our data while it's adding to the
question platform. You know, I want questions to kind of be like, "Open seat." You click it and there are hundreds or thousands of business who have different surveys across different industries who are offering different rewards and consumers just spend all day scrolling for different surveys to complete. You know, my goal is to help people earn
passive income. We talk about sorry New Yorkers loud. We talk about a universal basic income. We talk about passive income and we all generate that value. It's about having tools to help us capture that value and bring it back to the original content creator. 100,000 percent.
And will that question NFT value be amplified as question grows into the major data aggregator over the next five years? That's exactly how I see it. I believe that these NFTs will be, you know, one of the first offerings of question in that we become huge data
to players, people will go back to some of our earlier routes and earlier drops, such as the NFTs that are minting now on our website, and the value of them will be exponentially increased. And of course by then, we'll have a bunch more benefits in platform for users, so there'll be a direct correlation as to why people would want to buy it or resell it.
I'm going to go buy one for sure. And this is not even chilling. I'm actually going to do it. Okay, so another question I wanted to ask you, you just answered sort of how would the data be handled in five years? And how do you think this data economy would work in a perfect world?
if everything would be just the way it is and would it be like different from the vision you described before? I think the vision that I described if we were in a perfect world that's how we would have set up things from the beginning and for anybody who's in this call you know some people know me in the
ecosystem I've been around for the past two years, three years. And I've been working on questions for so long. And the reason is because I've taken a bunch of accelerators, right? I took an accelerator with Verizon. I took one with Gitcoin. I took one with Filecoin. I took one with Octopus Network. I took some with Encode Club. And I've just been learning and learning and
learning. And it's good to take these accelerators and incubators because you get contextualized field experience from key opinion leaders within the blockchain space. And so the idea of question has changed over time because I realize you can either cut corners
Or you can do the right thing from the beginning, right? So I could have put out question in January, but we wouldn't have had the data wallet. And then in two years, when most companies have to implement some sort of data canister so that users authorize it, we would then have to go back to the drawing board in two years and then change our whole infrastructure, right? So from the very
beginning of question, we're trying to design a platform that puts the user and their data and their rights first. And by having a data wallet, they are always in control of their data and authorizing it. And so I think that the internet would have done that from the very beginning. But you know, this is how things go.
Yeah, that's interesting. I've heard people say that the Internet should have had money. They're like coded in it from the very beginning sort of what we're having with blockchain. I guess the other part of it is data. So we're fixing it up right now. I want to ask you what role do you think blockchain
in this whole data game and I guess what is something that is only possible now that we have blockchain? Interesting. So I'll talk about maybe our use case with blockchain because you know there's a lot of use cases to it right there's smart contracts with NFTs, there's cryptocurrency, there's token, there's decentralized protocols.
For us, how does question benefit from the blockchain? Right? So a business creates a profile, they create a survey, and now users can complete that survey and earn that reward. When the user interacts with that survey, they're actually interacting with a smart contract. So basically, anytime
You complete a survey, you earn a reward, that's all tracked on chain. So what we're doing is we're using the blockchain to track your data contributions so that you have a mutable and verifiable proof of your contributions. I think that that's important, right? And I think that that's one of the baseline offerings that
cryptocurrency, right? You did something, we can prove it, and everybody else in the blockchain can see it. And I think that that's really, really important for data, right? Because if I'm paying you for your data, you don't want to just trust that I'm paying you. You don't want to trust our internal accounting methods. So using the blockchain as a
I think that that use case just point blank period still has value. I think what's also cool about the blockchain is that you can create rewards where the user owns it in the sense of a token or an NFT. So of course when users complete surveys, they can earn these tokenized rewards whether it's crypto
government agencies that want to see how this question works, is this system fair? Yep, everything that we do, everything. When a business buys a package, when a user earns an NFT, completes a survey, everything is tracked using the near blockchain. And we're creating a lot of activity on nearby doing that as well.
100% thank you for a great answer. I wanted to ask you how do you approach or I guess how will you approach in the future onboarding because right now you know for a lot of applications, the Web 3 applications that are targeting regular consumers and not just like the Web 3 and through the SD and DGN school already have
wallets, but just like regular people. I guess it's a major problem that there is this onboarding barrier where you need to create some type of wallets, seed phrase, like all these weird things that nobody really wants to do. And I guess like a two-fold question sort of how do you approach it with an air wallet and how will you approach it when you have your own wallets?
Good question. I'll approach it with the near and then we'll go to the data wallet. So in the first iteration before we had the data wallet, when a user created a profile, you know, username, password, bio, right? That's the onboarding process. And then we ask you
some intro questions, you know, aid, location, experience with cryptocurrency, some initial questions to profile you to help understand you. When you finish the tutorial, we give you five answers. Answer is our virtual credit. So even if a business doesn't load a survey, you'll always get our virtual credit from a survey. So again, new user completes their
profile completes the tutorial. After the tutorial, we say, "Hey, your experience in question will be optimized if you create a near wallet. The user can accept or skip. Let's say the user skips. So now a user has created a profile and they haven't created or connected a
wallet. You want to complete a survey and you want to claim the NFT, right? So you complete the survey and now you claim the NFT. But when you claim the NFT, I'm going to explain to you the difference. We basically lazy meant the NFT for you. So the NFT is pinned on IPFS, but it's not actually
So we create the media and you actually mint it yourself. So that way all of the onus is on you. In a
In addition, we want you to be able to claim that NFT, but we don't want to create friction because you don't have a wallet. So you claim that NFT, but when you actually want to mint it, you do it yourself. So basically, I've designed question so that you can do everything, answer surveys, earn NFTs without
needing a wallet. But if you want the true decentralized experience, you'll need to connect the wallet and then mint it. So I've very, I thought about onboarding for a very long time. So I think onboarding for near is a dress, but okay, with the data wallet, right? Because that's the newest model
of how users will be connecting to our marketplace. The data wallet, we were inspired by this company called Luxo and they have this thing called the new creative economy and they have these universal profile wallets. And so we're using some of that code to create the data wallet. And why is this important? Because Luxo created a
a smart contract, gasless wallet that allows you to sign in and out with just a username and a password. So even with the data wallet, we don't have to worry about the pastries because it's all just username, password, signing in, signing out. So every time we try to
new products, a new service, or a new feature, I think how is this going to be for the consumer? I have three younger sisters, I'm very close to my grandparents, and those are also my target audiences. If my sisters who are 18 and 21 can't use this, then I'm definitely missing out
on a huge demographic. And I think that if my grandparents can't navigate this website, I've also complicated it too much. So I'm constantly talking to people, making sure that the onboarding makes sense and making sure that we're dumbing down the tech. And this is my opinion, this is my last point. I believe that cryptocurrency, let's
Let's say blockchain is going to revolutionize the world as it has. But for the average consumer, they don't really care about crypto. Crypto has negative associations for the average person. They think of Dogecoin, Elon Musk, volatile assets, Gary Gensler, Kwan.
So we have to create a product where the user gets the benefits of blockchain, but we're not screaming at them. Be thankful for blockchain, right? It's got to just be a well-oiled machine beneath the hood. And the user doesn't experience any friction on what's going on beneath the hood. That's my last point.
100% you know, I definitely agree and I talk to a lot of people about it how for average consumer there they need you know, Web 3 in the backend, but they need Web 2 user experience in the front end because who's going to use a more complicated solution to Internet that they already used to a more easy way
less frictionless one. And I mean it's interesting how you say about Nier. I think for a lot of these products that are blockchain and then building on blockchain but are oriented towards like mass audiences like games for example they just want to more gamers it's important to have this like
To have the blockchain on the back end but to have it as easy as possible to sort of start using the product at least You know like yes, you can have an option then to go full web 3 but at least you can like play a game or start and see some questions without going all the way down blockchain rabbit hole But that being said, you know you mentioned that your wallet will have
user name and password and that's definitely a very reasonable solution for everyday consumer. But I actually had a very interesting conversation with somebody recently about that and one thing I realized is if there's user name and password then it has to be stored somewhere. So the thing was seed-frame
is you are the only person who has it, but the username and password has to be in some database. So how do you approach this whole dilemma? So we're currently working this out, whether it's some sort of social verification layer. So in the sense of like you have your wallet, but you socially verify on question
We're still kind of playing with this concept and I want to address one thing and what you said with basically needing to store this somewhere and then somebody cannot access to that. So, Coby, the data wallet is two products. The first is the data wallet and the second is the data wallet.
Second is a file storing solution built on top of Filecoin. And I want to explain this because I'm really, really excited about this. When you store something in Dropbox or Google Drive, right, you store that file there and it's encrypted. And the only two people who can decrypt it
Are you as the owner of that file and Google Drive as the person who is hosting that file? What we want to make using cubby is a file storing platform where when you store the file on Filecoin you are the only person with the device
encryption key. And so I think that this is going to be very interesting because we all use file storing platforms, Google Drive, Dropbox, we transfer all of these things. But at the end of the day, that's the reason why people don't put inappropriate photos or sensitive information on these platforms because we know that
somebody else not only can access it, but that the actual platform has access to it. So we're trying to create a solution where you can put your files in the cloud, but you are the only person with the decryption key to then access that file. Again, a lot of technical work going into this, but that's just a little helpful.
Not definitely, that makes a lot of sense. You know, another thing I wanted to ask and I hope it's not going to sound too stupid because I'm not really like a technical person or deep into data.
my understanding might be a little shallow, but for this data wallet, isn't every interaction that the user doesn't blockchain already public, so why would somebody pay for the data?
Could you repeat the question again? >> So this data will try to sort of collect the data as you explore it in pronoun boxing through visual effect. But every transaction in blockchain is already public.
So the data wallet is a browser extension, right?
All of the data that you put into your data wallet is locally stored on your browser. And that's important because when you connect to question, you then are getting asked to complete a survey. So you complete that survey from your wallet and then you sign to transfer that information.
So the data wallet isn't really about tracking your on-chain activity, it's about having a place where you can complete surveys and when you complete the survey, you still own your information until you execute and sign it. So nobody else should have that information until you authorize its signature, right? Because we're completing surveys.
short answer. So that information that JSON gets stored in your data wallet locally in your browser and then you sign to transfer that specific questionnaire. Does that make sense, Wax? >> Yeah, that doesn't make sense. But when you answer the question, are those sort of like adoption
Yes, but it's just that wax completed survey one at 2 p.m. That's the only thing that you'll see on chain not your actual answers, right? Because what if it's like medical information or you know? So it's just a
or receipt on chain, not the actual answers. Okay, I think I'm getting some understanding, but of course, you know, like all these things, you got to really like see them and use them to kind of actually and we have to do another call in a month so we can do a little alpha giveaway.
and we could do like, we could have people try out the wallet or something for the giveaway, get them to do some action. That'd be perfect. Thank you. Well, that being said, 40 minutes live, we have eight question requests, so as I say, we start getting to them. Let's do it.
Let me just add a couple people to speak.
we'll probably be able to get through everybody today.
all them. Some people drop back. Let's start with Kermella.
Kermelo, near you can unmute yourself, go ahead.
Okay, let's go for now to IB. Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon. Yes, we can. Thank you very much for this speech. It has really been an enlightening one. But I just have just two questions to so I can get full understanding.
My first question is how I plan to achieve a proportionality distribution of Soviet rewards because we are going to find out that there are going to be many people that will create multiple accounts just to take Soviet and accumulate as much reward as possible. So how are you planning on
tackling that issue. Then my last vision is, will there be limits to like amounts of data that will be available for those, let's say projects or companies to get like do you have this? If there is limits to questions they can and to information they can get about every user. I don't know if you can have my question.
Yes, I can hear it. So let me answer the first one. So the first one was how do we prevent civil attacks and how do we prevent spam so that you don't make four different accounts? Right? Yeah. And this one, this response is going to be a little controversial. You're going to need to KYC, right? You're going to need to KYC.
because I need to make sure that I'm not paying a bad actor cash and facilitating some sort of transfers. But also, a business is going to come to me and say, "Hey, we're putting this survey in your marketplace, but we only want people over the age of 40 in New York to complete this
So I'm going to need to have KYC so that I can identify, OK, I be, it's a 40-year-old gentleman from New York. They're eligible to complete this survey and we verify this. So there is going to need to be some verification. And I'm going to give you another side point.
I am thinking about a way where anonymous users can still participate in surveys, but you're going to have a lot limited options in terms of earning. So I think that answers your first question, but KYC is definitely going to be a part of it. Your second question was, is there a limit
on the information that businesses can get. No, right? Because the business can ask any question and you as the respondent using your data wallet can decide to participate in that survey or not. And when you do participate, you have to sign an authorize for the data to go to them.
You don't have to answer any surveys that you don't like, businesses or companies that don't fit your ethos, you don't have to participate. So there's no limit on the types of questions that business can ask. We charge businesses for the packages, right? Because of each survey you're going to earn 25 cents, then we factor that into the package, right? Business,
Survey 100 people will 25 to 100 that's 25 bucks plus our service fee starts $50 to survey 100 people right including your 25 cents per survey respondent fee in terms of the user right which isn't I'm not this is I'm going a step beyond in terms of the user
And tell me what you guys think of this. There are seven days in a week. I'm going to allow people to complete about 21 surveys per week. That means three surveys a day that you can complete. If you want to go over 21 surveys per week, we're going to
Charge you one dollar per month right because think about it most people are not going to be answering these surveys off the computer They're going to be answering it off their mobile device so this is going to be a mobile application which we are already developing so based on that the 99 cents is really the app store app
fee, right? So if you want to answer more than 21 questions a week, you're just going to need a dollar. And I think that that's fair, right? Because what if a survey is paying you 10 bucks, right? You just made that back, you know, nine X. I hope that answers your question, I B and I guess let's take Kermell. Yes, Dosed. Thank you very much.
Yeah, I support that. Let's take care, Mal.
- Kremel, I see you have the envelope. - Okay, am I ready? - Yes. - I think I'm having an issue here. So the question I want to ask, I haven't really been, you know,
I haven't been hearing very well since it's been skipping and some parts and stuff like that. But what I want to clarify is at some point, it was mentioned that there are some people who can
actually use the question platform without having a near wallet. So I just want to ask if they are using the platform. Actually, let's say they claim an NFT
Where can they get the records of all these things? It's not on the blockchain because they are not using a crypto wallet too. I want to know how they can check the records and everything. Basically we cover that dashboard for you.
complete a survey and you earn an NFT. That NFT is lazy minted. So it hasn't actually been minted, but when you actually completed the survey and unlocked that NFT, there was a blockchain transaction because you interacted with the survey smart contract. So there is a record.
Like that's the beauty of question is that anything that you do in platform a business buys a package a user mince media user earns a media user even earns credits even the credits themselves We're tracking it on the near blockchain and again our goal is
was to provide verifiability, but also to provide activity. Anything that you do in question results in an action or activity on the near blockchain, furthering the development and the activity on chain. I hope that answers your question.
Give us another one, Colonel. Yeah. What I want to know is you said you can you said all those things used to be recorded on the blockchain board. I understand that I think that before you can react before you can.
communicates with the blockchain, you need to have your own wallet address. So I don't understand you said even if someone you know registers without an address, you know, everything they do is to register on the blockchain. So I want to know how can they interact with the blockchain without having an address.
We basically pay those gas fees and record your actions on our own. So there's a survey smart contract. So when a business creates a survey, there's a survey smart contract and all of that is tracked. And so we're basically covering the gas fees for you when you interact with that. It's basically a time stamp. Yeah.
Yes, like the story of a person who interacts with it might not have a wallet, but every action is just like tracked from the question side and put on a ledger on the blockchain. I mean, I have no idea, but I hope that exactly. Thank you. Got it.
Okay, I hope that answers your question then. Let's move to the next question from Light. Yeah, thanks for bringing me up for walks. Well, the first thing is, I think questions means is life, right? Yes, it is. Yep.
I'm just asking because I'm surprised that your Twitter profile is still showing maintenance tomorrow. I think that should be edited to mint his life. I want to blame Elon Musk for that because Twitter has gone to complete Taka since he's taken
over. So we changed that the day before the mint was live, updated our profile, and now they're waiting to approve minting tomorrow, but the mint is actually out now. So blame Twitter for that. And thank you, light. Yeah. So my question is, why are you explaining you?
talk about the different collection. You said there's a question mark and exclamation. I think two of the I really catch the two other collections we're talking about. I want to know now is it that holding any of these different NFT determines the kind of review you can take
kind of so we can take on your platform or all of these NFT as the same utility that's all of these NFTs have the same utility and will give you early access to the platform where you can begin earning and once we figure out some more of the gamification once the platform is launched
you'll have additional benefits for holding these NFTs. So on our side is really simple, right? The contract is questy-nft.near and we whitelist users who have that token and there will be additional benefits in the platform. But any NFT from that collection will offer you early access plus the internal perks.
Okay, okay, and lastly, I I saw you guys on on Paris I'm very sure that it's the same question that is yeah, that is also on Paris I also also understand like I'm seeing different thing on Paris like so if this question Christmas and near else and question
like all these things like is it your project that's on this collection that it's here? Yes it is. So again we've been in the near ecosystem for the past two years and so building up hype and building up brand recognition we would
do seasonal NFT giveaways. So prior to the Mint, which is happening now, again, everybody go to the Pintweat, go to question.us and go mint some NFTs. It's one near, right? We wanted a low barrier to access. But yeah. All right. All right.
Thanks for the did I think I'm going to mean so much now. Thank you. I appreciate that. And yeah, the earlier collections were just earlier drops. It was us trying to build out community build out awareness. But now this is the official collection. So those are also official NFTs too, but they're not part of the collection. But I hope that answers.
Yeah, actually just move on Twitter. But something I wanted to ask when we'll move to the community questions in a second is have you considered implementing some sort of like maybe revenue sharing mechanics or something along this line to put your NFT holder
So instead of them being like a consumer like a user with a little extra perks into like a role of early supporter early investor that actually benefits as the company grows. Good question. If you know me in real life, you'll probably say I'm one of the most
Experimental risk taking people that you know But on the opposite side of that I'm also very very cautious legally because my best friend who also works a question is a lawyer and so the reason why I don't do that right why aren't we doing NFT staking on jump D5 right like why I'm
are we working with spin? Basically, the legal expectation that users buy these NFTs with a promise or return of profit, which later on could legally put us in a bind. So that's really it was just legal considerations. That's it.
I got it so you kind of like growing to be not just like a blockchain project but like a real life data company just trying to take it a little extra carefully. Exactly. Exactly. And that's the reason why we have the data wallet, right? So that in
two years, let's say we're operating Portugal and the Portuguese government goes, "Hey question, you allowed somebody to get paid for their data and you did it on their behalf and that was illegal, right? No, no, no, no, we have a data wallet and the user did it themselves, right?
We provided an interface like open seats to connect the buyers and sellers, but they initiated that transaction on their own. So again, from the very beginning, I thought, how can we limit our liability? That's also the reason why question has a virtual credit and not a cryptocurrency. And I'm going
this a little bit. We don't have a cryptocurrency because most people drop a token, it pumps, and then it dumps, and then your token price never recovers. I don't want that. Right? Second of all, if that doesn't happen, you open a token, and then three years later, you sold an unregistered security,
and you have to pay anywhere from a million to 30 million in taxes. I don't want that either. Right? So I said, "How can we still let people access this value?" Well, Starbucks has reward points. McDonald's has reward points. Even V-bucks, Fortnite, they have their own virtual credit quote-unquote. So that's another way that
we're trying to stay within the parameters of law, right? By offering a virtual credit as an extra incentive instead of a cryptocurrency, having a data wallet so that you're always in control of your data, right? Making sure that all of your transactions on question are tracked on chain so that if we ever get audited,
Let's say when we get audited, the business can just check the blockchain. Of course, we'll give you our records, but our records are just what's on chain. So I've really thought about the legal ramifications of everything over and over and over again. And I usually end up taking the more conservative route just out of safety. That's really it.
Now I definitely understand that with legal stuff you don't want to be really careful. That being said, let's bring up some more people.
Where did they go? I just added people to speaker and they okay here they are. Let's get a question from Peter Griffin. Yes we can. All right all right. I'm isn't supposed to be so far question. I forgot your real name so I'm not going to go with this question all right. So my question
We were doing the conversation you said that most of the data that you are offering from your particular, okay, let me start with this one question first. The NFTs you said are going to be minted. What were the criteria that was given to clean these NFTs in the first place?
So you have to complete a survey, right? So it depends on the business and the survey specification. So each business can create a survey and they can set settings. They can set settings based on your social media connected, based on your age, based on your location. So if a business creates a survey, they create requirements.
and you're eligible for those requirements, then you can then complete the survey and once you've completed the survey, then you can claim the NFT. Okay, so I missed the claiming of the NFTs. Now, I, sorry, I claim I missed minting of the NFT and I have the NFT with me, right? So
So what are the particular things that this NFT can do in your project that can still be profitable? So I'll answer this twofold. So right now, question has an NFT release at QSTN.us where those will offer internal benefit.
But when a business creates a survey and issues their own NFT, that's up to the business to decide the benefits of that NFT. So let's say Coca-Cola, they create a survey, they say, "Okay, we only want people with the name Peter Griffin to take this survey." So Peter Griffin is eligible, he takes the survey,
He claims the NFT. Does this make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's makes sense. Cool. Yeah, all right. Thank you for the second question, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for being a amazing piece of thanks. Thanks for watching. Yeah. Yeah, thank you for coming always happy to see you.
We have another 5 minutes of, let's bring up other King Levite if you want to try requesting again and we'll see if we can go and walk again.
Okay, we have Thomas David with us. Thomas, you can go ahead and meet yourself as a question.
Yeah, I'm a healthy wolf. Yes, you are. Yeah, I actually like these projects and there was no question I'm until Huskin I be already asked a state so I just saw
want to know because this project, like most people would love this kind of project because it's also to do with questions and answer and everybody would like to get rewarded. So I want to ask that our other questions seem to like to encourage broader adoption.
Do you understand especially the VR blockchain and Web 3 is not a no-assessible or less-assexible? Then do you plan to introduce AI as long as possible? Thank you. Oh, good question. So.
I'll answer the first question first. How do we plan to get adoption? Well, first, a mobile application, right? So that anybody who doesn't have a desktop can access it off of a mobile device. That's the first offering. Second, I'm going to try and fundraise this year so that we can actually do global marketing campaigns.
and other parts of the world because I agree with you. I think this marketing product is going to be really easy. We're going to be able to say, hey, do you want to earn free money, free crypto, for answering some surveys and verifying yourself? Yeah. And I think that it won't be difficult to begin getting users. So we are going to need to do a
And we are going to have a referral system, which I think is going to help a lot. So the referral system is if you invite a user and they complete the tutorial, you earn five additional NSR credits and NSR is our virtual credit, which you can spend for discounts, NFTs and goods in
our actual media store. So question has two things. They have the survey marketplace where you go to find different businesses offering surveys, you get your reward, and then we also have a store where you can then actualize your rewards. So in this store, you know, you can get $10 off of Uber, $10 off of Hulu.
things like this, working with different companies to populate our store. So yes, I definitely see the value of this, not just in an American audience, but globally. Your second question, AI, right? Are we using artificial intelligence? The answer is yes. So when a business creates a service,
We've integrated chat GPT so a business says hey, I want to make a survey about ice cream and chat GPT will make them an initial Survey based on that so they give the prompt and they give the number of questions So I want to survey about ice cream for 20 questions and chat GPT will
generate that for the business. So yes, AI is a part of it. We do have a global focus and we're going to be offering a referral campaign so that you know you as a holder, you as a guest, as a user can spread the word and be paid for your contributions and helping people to monetize their data. Thank you Thomas.
Thank you, thank you for the answer. Great one.
Okay, thank you guys. I think we'll go through. Actually, let's try one more time. I guess Thomas has not asked a question. Let's see if it works now.
What is the most ambition goal of your project? Can you share with any upcoming update and future?
You said what is the most what of the project could you say that last part what is the most what of the project? Okay, all right, so I think
us, we're really looking forward to these NFTs, right? So everybody, if you're here, if you can hear my voice, please go to the pin tweet, go mince you an NFT, it just costs one near. We didn't want it, we're not even trying to make money, right? We just want more people to be holders and fans of the brand. So right now,
I'm really excited to put up these NFTs. We've kind of done it with like not as much marketing or promotion as normal, but I think that this is a community effort. I'm grateful to wax. So I'm really excited for these NFTs to go out and go mint them at our website. The mint is live now. So May is all about NFTs. June is going to be about
rolling out the product. I'm excited about the NFTs, I'm excited about the survey marketplace, and I'm excited about this data wallet. I think that question as a survey marketplace has immense value, and then I think that a data wallet has just as much value because it can be connected to any application.
So I'm really excited to get this data wallet out. We just trademarked the name with the USPTO. We just finished the initial mock up of the wallet. So I'm excited to just get all this out, get out the NFTs, follow up in a month with the survey marketplace, then you guys will be able to start
connecting to question with your data wallet, and then they start working with different companies, right? I told you we're working with potentially L'Oreal and YU. So continuing to develop relationships with these legacy brands, getting out the word, and yeah, going in near-con, yeah, I'm excited in general, really.
First of all, thank you so much for coming. What do we have to announce? Tomorrow we have another space, at the same time. Go mint yourself a question, NFT. I just minted two, you can see it in the pinned tweet.
opportunity to be part of the better world where consumer data is used as it should be and it's not just abused and taken from us. That being said, thanks everybody for coming. Question, do you have
some last words or I guess you already did that. I want to say thank you, Wax, for having us. Thank you everybody for listening to this space. You know, we have another one next Monday. The mint is going to be open while supplies last. We're about 30%
of the way done. So if you can't mint it, give us a like, give us a retweet, and spread the word. And I'm excited to be back on this space and come back with more products. Thank you again, Mark. Thank you. As well as I wanted to mention yesterday, we had a big giveaway. We did not
now, so we're going to win here. I will announce them today as well as today. We also have 10 year giveaway and we're going to select from two best questions. We're going to give five near to each. So stay tuned guys and see you all on the space tomorrow same time.
