Full Transcription
Music Welcome, welcome everyone.
We will kickstart in a few minutes.
Let's just wait for a couple more minutes for everyone to come in.
Oh, Sean, I can't eat. Thank you. All right, everyone, we'll get started in just one more minute.
Let's wait a couple more so that everyone can participate. Thank you. you
all right shall we begin then today we are hosting the founder of agora hub
yeah hello guys are you there yes i'm here pleasure to be here thank you for having me
yeah thank you for thank you for being with us today so uh let's just start by uh you giving us your own background what is your role within agora your background and how you came to lead
agora can you give us your journey of course of course but super excited like to start this uh
idea with you guys tomorrow.
So just to present myself shortly, so my name is Pierre, I'm the co-founder and CEO of Agora.
Important to remind you here that Agora, it's a joint venture that we created six months ago,
18 months ago, sorry, between the SwissBorg, the biggest crypto wealth management in Europe,
who has more than 800,000 verified users and Ultra, a top-tier blockchain gaming platform.
Personally, on my side, I've been an entrepreneur for more than 12 years right now with skills on business management, sales and marketing strategies.
but I've been very involved in the crypto industry since 2018.
But I've been very involved in the crypto industry since 2018.
So first I was head of digital assets for a family office
based in Nyon in Switzerland for two years.
Then I was in charge of the development of an OTC desk
and I joined after this like the SwissBorg team in 2021
to develop their corporate section
following a keen interest of financial institutions with
funds and family offices and then the co-founder of SwissBorg asked me like to
to find an ecosystem that works independently of SwissBorg so we discussed with ULTRA at this
moment that we just listed on the SwissBorg app. It was one of the leaders in the gaming industry.
And we created this joint venture named Agora in 2022
that I've been leading with passion for almost like 18 months now,
motivated by the commitments of our amazing community.
Yeah, thank you for breaking it down for us.
It seems like your journey up to now has led to a point where being capable of accomplishing
this with like a tier one backing of SwissBorg and everything you've seen from coming from
a traditional finance and the marketing side.
Seems like it's a great place and great time to uh be the leader in this in this in this venture that you've been building
it for 18 months and as an entrepreneur myself i know that it is not easy and uh so i appreciate
you uh giving your time and all and uh yeah of course we can proceed with like yeah sure so we can proceed with explaining
to our audience uh what agora is all about can you give us a quick overview of what are you building
and what you want to achieve with it of course so what we are building it's pretty simple first of
all a vision um it's to connect the most promising GameFi projects with gamers and investors and achieving mass adoption of blockchain gaming.
And to succeed right now, we are building three core products.
Two of them already has been developed.
So the first one, it's a DEX.
But it's a DEX with a big USP because it's a DEX with gaming-related tokens.
Developed on the Ultra Blockchain.
Why? Because they propose zero gas fees.
And that's why we select them for gamers.
And that's solving one of the biggest challenges in this industry.
Because on EVM chain, you know that gas fees could be quite high and eat up the payout.
So the first version of the DEX is going to be on Ultra.
We're going to propose a bridge to bring more TVL, of course, from EVM chain.
But the second version of this DEX that we plan to have, like Q1 2025,
is going to be completely cross-chain.
This first core product, he already has been tested by the community.
You can have a look, it's into our website.
It's on the test set right now, but he already has been audited and ready to be launched.
So we plan to launch it
a few weeks after the TGE,
supported by, of course,
our strategic partner, Ultra, because
that's going to be on their chain and with
guaranteed TVL
from their site.
And then we also have two other core
products. We have
Digital Identity.
It's with this product that we plan to achieve
the mass adoption of blockchain gaming.
Why?
Because on the game side, just to explain how it works,
it's an SDK that we are developing right now.
So it's like an API, super easy to plug for the games,
super well documented and that's
going to be the bridge between the pool of liquidity that the game's going to create it
so with these token rewards with slash stablecoin because you know that on the decks that's working
with pair and the games and it's super interesting for the games because it's a new source of revenue
for them because all the time that the gamers from his community and his games are going to push liquidity on it.
That's going to push liquidity into the pool and it's going to receive incentive and reward for it.
Because this is how like a deck's working.
The more liquidity you push, the more incentive you're going to receive.
push the more incentive you're going to receive so yeah and on the gamer side
it's something quite revolutionary also because it's a cross-chain gamefi wallet that we're
proposing them thanks to this digital identity where all the gamers once the sd can has been
plugged by the games will have like the possibility to play, earn their token rewards,
and then swap it directly by the interface of the game,
without using, in fact, a dApp, like Uniswap or Pongkakeswap.
That's solving another big issue and challenge in this industry
because most of the gamers, they don't want to hear about DeFi.
They only want to play and earn.
We are here to propose them a
more seamless solution.
Finally, the last core
product that we
are proposing
to complete this one-stop shop,
it's named DLS,
Decentralized Boot Box System.
You can have a look into our website. This product
is already live
we already did four batch with four different sponsors and the idea it's to propose a launchpad
but something completely new in the gaming industry too because it's completely gamified
and completely cross-chain it's already deployed on four chain bin Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon and Arbitrum.
And we just announced that we're going to deploy it also on Solana.
The idea with this product is to onboard the most promising games
and to take an allocation from them in NFT or N-token.
Most of the time it's going to be both, in fact.
And to distribute it through different gems because
how like the the products working just to give you like a quick recap of the user flow here it's like
first of all you buying like a loot box so it's 20 usdc or it could change the price could change
of the loot box depending on the sponsor but on the previous one it was always around like 20 USDC.
So you connect your MetaMask wallet with your Arbitrum or Polygon depending on
the chain we are using and it's all connected to smart contract and then
you're gonna receive a gem. So you have two types of price that you can receive.
It could be a gem, we have three types rare, epic and legendary where we're
gonna distribute the price from the sponsor.
Plus, we always keep one gem for Agora to distribute some AGA token and NFT.
Or if you don't have the chance to receive a gem, you always earn something with us.
You're going to receive a golden ticket.
And it's a feature loved by the community because if you accumulate three of them you're going to
earn a portion of the jackpot and this jackpot is 15 of the revenue generated by by the loot box
sell so you always earn something when you participate to our loot box and you cannot lose
so it's one of the taglines of the product in fact if you compare us with the other loot box
on the market where you're losing most of the time,
it's not the case at all with our product.
Because the minimum price that you can receive, at least for now, it was like 20 USDC value in Aga token.
So it's quite interesting.
And yeah, it's a great product for doing like some user acquisition, user retention,
generate some revenue and super powerful because we can distribute we can distribute it price from from different chain on the same loot box uh token or nft and
we have a lot of traction thanks to this one so this is the idea of agora guys it's to create a
one-stop shop for gamers so you have like this decentralized loot box system to propose early investment to our community and the most
promising games you have like the decks for the for the for the games that we onboarded
onboarding right now we are already on board like more than 30 we already like to to use like our
product uh and the sdk to propose like a more seamless experience to the gamers and achieve the mass
adoption of blockchain gaming. Great, great, great comprehensive answer, Pierre. Thank you for that.
So a few things stick to my mind from there. Like one stop shop is a huge value proposition. And
additionally, like as a gamer myself, I wouldn't want to bother with like going to pancakes up,
a gamer myself, I wouldn't want to bother with like going to pancakes up like you said,
like being able to trade from the interface of the game is a huge, huge value proposition
that adds like that, that like mitigates a huge layer of onboarding new users to Web3,
right?
Because like Web3 right now seems like another language for those who are not initiated.
And by doing this, you actually onboard people there.
So Web3 is just the infrastructure there.
It's just the value provider there.
But what they're getting is what they want.
And it is great to see that you guys have done this without gas fees, by the way.
I hate gas fees.
So everybody hates gas fees.
So I love that as well.
And being this whole
ecosystem i think it's it's a huge like the hub like you said it's gonna be a great hub by the
looks of it so i can't wait to see uh the future of it as well and on that note i wanna go into
like a specific side of agora which is like what inspires you guys to venture into the ai side of the platform i mean
of course we're in the age of ai but like how does it align with the overall vision of the project
you have yeah great great question so but as you say like i think ai is proving to be a groundbreaking
development you know in all types of industry and i think gaming is not an exception
so the application of ai in in gaming will be revolutionary i'm sure of this and we believe that embracing this new technology is crucial for our future so with the support of ai technology the
idea here it's to propose like a new features that we're going to implement into the V2 of the DEX for liquidity providers.
So thanks to this, liquidity providers on the Agora DEX will be able to use our AI liquidity optimizers.
And what it is, it's an intelligent tool designed to manage liquidity more efficiently.
So thanks to this, you will be able to specify a price range
and then liquidity providers can improve their capital more efficiency,
but also they will be able to reduce slippage
and make their liquidity provision more attractive for larger trades.
So this is the idea.
And for this, we did a partnership with one of our advisors.
If you're looking at our deck, who is Mario Kaziragi,
he's the owner of Singularity Net at Singularity DAO,
and one of the founders.
So it's one of the leaders in this in the the ai web3 companies
uh so we are proud of this and it's going to be like super helpful to integrate all those
ai features into the into the core product
great great great to hear that i mean uh ai is nowadays is like inescapable and of course it is
because what it unlocks is revolutionary
when you think about it,
if you like compare it to what it was 10 years ago.
And it's exponentially growing day by day.
So 10 years later, I can't even imagine how it's going to be.
And another problem that is tackled by a lot of web 3 users
is the liquidity provision, like you said.
So if we can achieve a more efficient
system there through this i think that also adds another layer for liquidity providers to earn
yield and projects to stay healthy so uh another great future thank you thank you yeah i want to
go into like the nooks and crannies of the aga token of course because our sale will start
tomorrow and uh our users would love to learn more about the utility of the aga token and how it will
be used in your decks or your decentralized loot box system that you mentioned the all-in-one hub
can you tell me how it powers it all yes of course so regarding like the the AGA token, it's really in the center of the whole
Agora ecosystem, of course. But you have to understand that it's a multi-tokens with
dedicated utilities for each core product. So we have utilities for the cross-chain DEX
and we also have utilities for the loot box. So for the DEX, you have two main utilities. The first
one is for stakers, so it's the staking. So if you stake the AGA token, you have two main utilities. The first one is for stakers. So it's the staking.
So if you stake the AGA token,
you will earn a percentage of the protocol trading fees
charged in all transactions that take place in the Agora DEX.
And the second one, it's something that all the DEX are doing.
So probably if you know about DeFi, you will know.
It's for liquidity providers.
Because the more liquidity you're going to push,
the more AGA token you're going to receive in exchange.
And so it's exactly the same.
If you are liquidity providers,
you will earn a percentage of the protocol trading fees
charged in all transactions that take place in the AgroAdEx.
And regarding the loot box,
we already present very cool features to avoid also like selling pressure
and to make sure that um that's going to be super advantageous for the communities to stake
aga for example we're going to have like staking for yield so if you locked a certain amount of
aga token you're going to earn a percentage of the revenue generated by each loot box.
So it's going to be between 10% and 15%.
So it's exactly that way that the jackpot's working right now.
That's going to be replaced by this as soon as the AGA token
is live, so in a few weeks.
You also have cool features named staking for exclusivity.
So on the previous edition that we did,
we already did it for,
we distribute very juicy
prices like Mutant Ape NFT,
Lil Pugies NFT.
NFT was like very big value, like
2,000, more than 1,000
for Lil Pugies NFTs.
And we have like a lot of demands and
hype thanks to this one.
So with the idea,
it's like, of course,
we're going to continue
to onboard the most promising games.
And we would love to have like
two, three loot boxes per month with them.
But the idea is to keep like
one super limited edition loot box
where we're going to propose prices and and very juicy nfts or
any or big quantity of token to people who stake or tokens too then you're gonna have like discount
also on purchase same if you stake a token you're gonna have like a discount on all the loot box
you're gonna buy about the loot box we're going to buy. About the loot box, we're going to announce one very soon.
So if you want to test the product in the next week,
you will be able to do it.
So yeah, and last thing for both loot box and DEX,
it's governance rights.
Of course, if you are holders of the AGA tokens,
you will have the privilege to participate in shaping the future of Agora.
Well, that was a comprehensive answer, Pierre.
I mean, like from anything and everything, I guess the token unlocks everything about the hub.
Like whatever features you have, it's not behind any other paywall so
those who participated in aga sale or those who buy the aga token unlock whatever comes with you
guys huh and uh can i also ask this is a huge value proposition like i mentioned because being
a hub is not an easy thing i mean doing one thing is like much more simpler when you think about it but being a
hub requires uh strong backing should i say can you summarize and like great achievements of course
like rome wasn't built in a day but they lay bricks every hours right so can you summarize
agorast key achievements coming to here and uh of course what's ahead what's in the roadmap
coming to here. And of course, what's ahead? What's in the roadmap?
Yes, of course. But about the key highlight, like I said, first thing that we did, it's
secure leading partnership with SwissBorg and Ultra. We own like 25 of the company each.
And thanks to this, we have the possibility today to have a massive ecosystem, more than
one million users. We can leverage their whole team representing more than 300 people, so it's massive for us. And we received 500k ground from them at the beginning of the project,
then we achieved and completed our seed round. 1 million six months ago, we started this seed round
thanks to two NFT collections that we sold out in less than 24 hours by with two more than 2,000 items.
And then the other half has been complete with private investors.
We also like onboarded more than 30 games right now in project within the ecosystem.
We make grow community to a total followers base of more than 100k across our main communication channels but
the most important thing like i say we achieved already like two of our core products because the
decks is ready to be launched and the loot box we already launched four projects and for example
the last one we sold out and distributed over than over 100 000
dollars in prices in minutes uh doing our best loot box event to date uh so yeah just before
the alpha deal in fact that we did with swissbog and about this i think it's the biggest achievement
that we did like recently it's the sold out um uh with swissborg doing
like the alpha deal where we raised like 1 million from our community members a few weeks ago in in
few minutes um so this is like about like the key highlight and regarding what's coming now we just announced it guys so don't hesitate to join it
it's a massive airdrop of 1 million AGA tokens is coming to be part of it it's super easy you just need to accomplish different types of quests into our zili or galaxy and to be really active
into our socials so i can send you like the link like this you can you can post it uh aman and
and yeah and when you say airdrop everybody's ears are perking up so uh that's that's that's
a huge alpha for us we'll go into details on that side as well so uh yeah yeah yeah of course of
course of course and and now about what's coming? It's starting tomorrow.
It's the IDO.
So we started this IDO with SwissBorg, like I said, a few weeks ago.
But right now, we need to complete it.
And it weighs like 1.5 million with an FDV of 40 million.
So we just announced a different launchpad with you guys.
We are super excited to have you on board.
And yes, so the term, it's 40 million million FDV 25% TGE will be unlocked
Then one month cliff and 12 months vesting and be quick
That's what I can recommend you because yes, don't with the Swiss bog
Raise it was sold out in few minutes. So yeah don't waste time oh yeah oh yeah i mean
the the hype is there the traction is there the team is there everything is there the cards are
there to play so uh we can't wait to uh see it unfold of course and like take part in it and i
want to go deeper into the airdrop side as well, because that's what everybody loves, right? Who doesn't like an airdrop?
But can you, like, as we mentioned,
it will sell out, of course, very, very soon.
So those who are initiated,
those who become a part of Agora's community,
why should our community,
compared to the ones that you already have,
invest in Agora Ideal?
Can you provide us your investment thesis
as per se uh about what about the investment thesis yes oh yeah yes but i think right now
i have to say like first of all that we are extremely proud of everything we have achieved
so far and the value because it's the most important thing for me right now when you are the CEO of a web street
company that we've promoted doing like this Agora Arise World and for me the most important thing
it's the community and we always put our community first and we really want here like to send a
strong message to the industry on how to do things right you know and for me you have four things to do
it's real products aligned incentives fair pricing and leading float and real product we have it
because we already like i say have two core products ready the decks is ready to be launched
the loot box we already like sell out events generating million in volume the aligned incentive
today we are very proud of it also
because our community is our market maker and equity providers
with incentives and rewards distributed to them directly.
Fair pricing also because our TGE is set for organic price discovery
without any artificial inflation from VCNSEX.
And the leading float, I presented to you you it's 25% unlock at TGE
12 months total
vesting to
guarantee like a return of investment
so we really try here
to design AGE's launch for
best in class condition you know and sustainable
value creation so I think
the momentum is here that we are
building we have a lot of hype
and we couldn't be more excited and thankful to have you with us, guys, on this journey.
So, let's do it.
Same goes for us, man.
Same goes for us.
Thanks for giving us this dance.
And, of course, what I want to say is that Web3 and, of course, I think every business who's B2C should be living and dying by its community.
I think every business whose B2C should be living and dying by its community.
So one thing I hate is when huge gaming studios or like hubs like Steam or places like that
abuse the monopoly they have on the community by giving unfair transactions, like in-game transactions.
EA is a huge, huge face for this.
So gaming is for gamers, right?
It is for the community.
It is not for the higher ups
or like the suits in the company.
So making community your number one priority,
I think this will ensure success as well,
along with a great product and the team, of course.
So it is great to hear that
and i think it goes hand in hand with what you guys are doing so uh we appreciate that and like
i said pleasure having this dance with you guys and i want to go into the like you mentioned one
million airdrop so i want to know the details all about it so like can you explain how we can be eligible how do we participate
everything about it please yeah as mentioned before you know we have we have a series of
campaign right now on the way uh to to grow the agro community before our ideal and and and the
tge the idea here it's really like to make raw audience so we choose different uh uh platform
for it we have galaxy we have zili and it. We have Galaxy, we have Zilli,
and we have another one named Ray.
We just relaunched the campaign,
like I think it was yesterday.
If you're looking out like,
or X Twitter, you will find like the post.
And the idea is simple.
You just need like to do as many quests as possible
and to complete the quest,
including following, sorry,
or various social networks.
You have to retweeting or post.
You have to communicating on Agora to earn as many points as possible.
And the more engagement and interaction users create,
the more points they will receive and the more I get token at the end.
So it's easy to understand how it works.
And also, I can say that the quests, they are categorized.
For example, we created a few dedicated to the IDO
and for the launchpad.
So just like Visitor Galaxy, complete the quest.
I think the last quest on the Galaxy
will redirect you on the Zilli.
I can provide you the link of the galaxy and the ZD too.
And do as many quests as possible.
You have a little board.
The more points you will have, the more AGA tokens you will get at the end.
That's it.
So, everyone, you heard it.
You heard it from the man himself.
And how long do people have to participate in this, by the way, Pierre?
That's going to be until TGE.
So you still have less than two weeks.
Okay, okay, everyone.
So, these were all of my questions, Pierre.
I think we covered a lot.
And I want to go into what our community has for their questions and of course we have a giveaway tied to this ama so
the five questions that we like the most shall be receiving finn's tokens and uh on that note i'll
start with one of our usuals sam so uh sam asks hold on let me get his question up sam asks how uh how does like what
marketing initiatives does agora undertake to promote its platform and attract web 2 players
to transition into web 3 gaming on its platform i think this is a great question for adoption so
yeah it's it's it's a great question and for this but right
now but first of all i think like you you know right now like how like webc projects doing
marketing so we are using like kols with influencer we on board like more than 100 kols right now
those are super helpful like to make the promotion of the project, first of all. We can also do some aid campaigns.
I think that could be super helpful.
But the most important thing to make know your Web3 project,
I think it's to do as many conferences as possible,
to make know your project to the mass market, you know.
So it's participate to all those events, first of all,
to make some noise,
but it also, like, convince Web2 Studio
to use your product.
And I think it's probably a little bit early for this.
If you're looking out, like, the market right now,
like, the biggest studio,
and we are in discussion, for example, with the head of blockchain from Ubisoft.
And yes, they start like investing in Web3 games.
That's going to take some time.
So, yeah, yes, of course, of course.
But if you're looking out like the biggest games right now, they are like uh uh uh on the blockchain yeah of course
they're not on the blockchain really that's gonna come soon i'm sure i'm sure so the the idea of agor
it's it's it's really like to be like well positioned and be like one of the main actors
so that's why we are here guys and we are one of the first creating like a one-stop shop for the Web3 industry.
But the idea, thanks to the digital identities that we created,
I think this is like the most important thing to answer to your question.
And this is how we're going to achieve this, the mass adoption of blockchain gaming.
It's because we have like a very simple product.
And I think like gamers, even more web 2 gamers he doesn't want to
like i i explained to you to understand how uh uniswap or decks working oh if you say to him
uh um your games well the games that you're playing like every day and we convinced this game to plug our SDK into our SDK,
then the only thing that the gamers have to do
is to create an Agora Wallet, GameFi crosschain wallet,
who's going to be connected to MetaMask, Web3Os, Ultra Wallet,
and probably even more.
Right now, probably, you just need to provide, to provide, like, his email and password,
and boom,
that's it.
His play,
the more he plays,
the more rewards he's gonna earn,
and then the idea,
it's like he's gonna swap directly
by the interface of the game,
the token that he earned
with stablecoin.
And in the future,
we can even,
like,
and we already have it in mind,
to integrate,
like,
an unrumped system
where you're gonna have,
like,
the possibility to send
the token rewards imagine if you can convert your token rewards that you earn with stablecoin
and then you can send directly convert it in fiat and send it directly into your credit card
so this is like the the future oh yeah i mean that's it that that is huge bro i mean it's
amazing it's amazing so uh like the thing you mentioned is that, like you said,
I don't want to, like, as a gamer myself,
I don't want to go into nooks and crannies.
Like, if you can make my life simpler
and let me focus on what I'm trying to focus on,
which is gaming it there,
and, of course, I'm earning at the same time.
And I don't know what Uniswap is, let's say.
I'm a traditional gamer.
So this, being early here, like, when you are this early,
when Ubisoft tries to pivot into Web3 we will already have done it ages ago so i think this is a great answer and i
think this is a huge indicator of future success shall i say on that note i want to ask crypto
kevin's question which relates to this and it's about long-term value proposition of
agora so most of investors just focus on price of the token in short term
and uh instead of understanding real value of the project so can you tell us
the motivations and benefits for investors to hold your token in a long term uh Yes, of course. So about this, we're going to launch
and announce
a staking and rewarp
program. So it's a
very interesting question. And if you
stay tuned,
you will have all the details. I cannot
say too much about this.
The only thing that I can say
is regarding all
the utilities we already announced.
For example,
if, and that's what I
told you before, if you're staking
your AGA token
into the DEX, you're going to earn a portion
of the revenue generated
on the DEX.
If you're staking
your AGA token on the loot box,
you're going to earn a portion of the revenue generated by the loot box
between 15%, 10% and 50%.
Plus, you're going to have access to limited edition.
So it's super interesting for you.
But right now, and we are working hard on it,
we're going to announce a reward and a staking program
who should be ready for TGE.
So stay tuned because that's going to be like announced
like in a couple of days.
Perfect.
And you mentioned, of course, SwissBorg and Ultra are like,
of course, heavy hitters.
And Chuck asks, how does Agora's partnership with ultra enhance the development
and distribution process for game developers like what cost benefits does it offer compared to
traditional platforms like steam and apple store uh really interesting question but i think like
ultra and you need like to have a look like to what they are proposing like they are like one of the first
uh in this industry who proposing like like it's like a steam but you have like different type of
product on the on the ultra ecosystem first of all you have a unique marketplace so it's a great
product uh to exchange or create your own nft Then you have the Ultra Wallet,
and I think it's the most important right now.
Are you still there?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you're going to have the possibility
once you set up and create an U.S. wallet
to exchange transactions directly without any gas fees.
And it's something quite revolutionary right now because on EVM chain,
you have to pay a lot of gas fees, right? And very
soon and shortly, you're going to have the decks integrated
into this ecosystem because you're going to be the main decks
of Ultra. and i think that
what's ultra proposing to the games uh that they're onboarding right now it's zero gas fees
and a one-stop shop also like for for them thanks to the unique marketplace that they have they also
have like ultra arena to uh create and organizing like tournaments for the games
directly into the ultra ecosystem so you have like everything at the same place thanks to ultra
without any gas fees and with a very strong like blockchain yeah amazing amazing and the last two
questions we have and one of them is about of course the loot box system
you have because it is unique in its aspects and uh can you can you like tell us how it is uh
different from the traditional loot boxes that usually are out there and also could you elaborate
on this is the question blueberry asked could you elaborate
on how you'll deal with nft inflation over time that the current market for nfts is experiencing
and a significant volume decline happens in the beer season for most nfts so what unique methods
will you utilize to maintain the worth of nfts i i yes i don't know if i have like a unique method
like for nft because what I'm doing right now,
it's like I'm proposing,
I'm taking from the most promising games,
NFT and tokens.
So the idea here,
it's exactly like you guys,
you're trying to onboard the project that you believe.
And when we're onboarding games,
we're trying to onboard the best games, the most promising games
and when you're going to play
and buy a
loot box at 20 USDC
and this is how
it's a big USP if you compare us
to the other one and to the other loot box
it's because
when you participate in another loot box
you're losing most of the time.
99% of the time, you're losing.
When you participate to an
Agora loot box, the
minimum price that you can receive, it's
the equivalent of the loot box
ticket that you just pay in
AGA token. So you cannot
lose. And otherwise,
if you don't earn AGA tokens,
you're going to earn tokens,
very early tokens
and NFT
that you can do
like a lot of
return of investment
like 5x,
10x,
depending on the project
if we select,
of course,
the best one.
And that's what we're
trying to do right now.
That is huge, man.
I mean,
like,
ensuring winning
is something you can't find anywhere in
life when you think about it on a game theory perspective it's like win-win situations are
hard to come by like this so a great answer to that like having the nft protected space value
is i think a great indicator and puts a real utility through it it's not just the profile picture so uh i think this is its own answer for that
question and lastly my last question comes from chuck and uh he asks in what ways does
agora hub's gamefi hub uh combine the entertainment aspects of traditional gaming with the monetization
capabilities of web3 and what
potential impact does this have on the gaming industry so I think like he mentioned this will
be a game changer for the future for the gaming industry and we want to know what your vision is
for that but I think that's exactly what we're trying to achieve here with one more time with
a different core product that we are building right now. And one more time, I'm going to repeat myself
with the digital identity, you know.
It's the main idea here.
And this is how like a games, like a Web2 Games
could like monetize like his business model.
Because imagine like a games
where he is like a Web2 Games
and he took the decision to become like a games where he was like a web two games and he took the decision
became like
a web
three games
thanks to
solution like
ultra it's
super easy
to create
a wallet
and then
thanks to
our digital
identity
it's really
easy for the
games like
to plug
our SDK
and then
it's a new
source of
revenue for
them
because all
the time
imagine a
game who
has like
for example
200k users okay once like the
games like set up and install like our sdk very well documented one more time it's super easy to
plug you just need like to create the pool of liquidity into a dex and then the 200k like
users like on a daily basis will use our solution super easily with our digital identity
and our GameFi cross-chain wallet
and all the time
that the gamers
are going to do swap
by the interface of the game
that's going to push
liquidity into the pool
and that's going to generate
incentive and reward
for the game.
So this is how
what we are proposing here.
It's exactly this, you know.
And like the main, I think, emphasis here, how this you know and uh like the the main i think
emphasis here how do you think this will change the gaming industry because uh like giving the
users the ability to earn through their entertainment is is is amazing when you think
about it so do you think the gaming industry will change a lot for this?
I think the game prices will indeed go higher because you're earning money from the game as well.
How do you think it's on a holistic level?
How do you see the future for the gaming industry?
It's really complicated to give my point of view on this
because on one side you have like the web to gamers
you know like the fanatic and on the other side you have like the web three uh gamers right now
uh and i think for this we the transition will be like 100 percent like possible when the biggest
studio and the biggest game so So because this is like those companies
who have the budget and the money right now
to develop the best games, the AAA games,
when they will do the transition on the blockchain,
that's going to change the whole industry of the gaming for sure.
Because imagine if you have FIFA, for example.
Oh, yeah. When you play to FIFA, for example. Oh, yeah.
When you play to FIFA, you're going to earn token rewards
on all your players that are considered as NFT
that you can sell on the secondary market.
That's changing everything.
And I think if you're looking out like right now,
for me, it doesn't make sense
because all those Web2 games,
even if they are like better right now,
the graphics is better, the animation is better because they are like better right now the graphics is better the
animation is better because they have like more budget etc if you're looking at the business
model behind it it's crazy because all those gamers they are playing like for hours or months
for what you know like just because they love the game. So I completely understand this. But then sometimes they even pay for such and such
to have some items.
But you don't have any secondary market behind it.
Imagine if you have exactly the same games,
so an amazing game, the Web 2 games,
and all the effort that you're doing to earn something,
like, I don't know, like a shield, for example,
a gold shield, and you finally have your gold shield.
And if you have the possibility then,
because you don't want to play anymore
or because you want to rent it,
if you had the possibility to do it thanks to the blockchain
and thanks to the NFTs and thanks to to all of this i think it's a game
changer for everybody you know so this is my vision and this is how i think like things gonna
change in the future perfect answer to that yes exactly what i was curious about and uh like you
said it's it will be quite interesting to see how this comes to play as it gets more and more adopted.
And of course, Agora is here early.
So these were all of our questions, Pierre.
