Good morning icons. This is your host, Dave Q from Media Island and people. And today we are fortunate to have a wonderful guest joining us.
from maincard.io. Now I'll let them explain main card in a second, but first we've got to wait for a few more of our members to join. So let's give them a few more minutes to join us and then we'll start.
I'm gonna bring you on up, named Card C, I'm bringing you on up to the stage. We're gonna wait a little while. We're gonna give a few more minutes for our members to join, then we can start speaking.
So good morning, icons. Hope you're all doing well. Hope that you guys are all healthy. Hope that you've all got a little bit of water in your system today. You've been hydrating. Hope that you've all eaten a few nutritious things. You know, go out your day or for me, it's morning. I don't know what it is for everybody else on here, but just want to say, you know, take care of yourself.#
healthy, your mind cannot function without the right vitamins and minerals and nutrition that you need. So let's hang tight. We'll group at brown 10 or 5. How about that? So stay here. I'll tune in when new people join and I'll tell them what's up. But for now, we're going to give them a few more minutes to join us.
Thank you guys. So a few more minutes guys, we're gonna let this room kind of populate a bit.
Those of you who just joined us, we're going to give our members a couple more minutes to join us. We're going to let the room populate. So we'll begin around 10 or 5. So give us a few more minutes guys and we'll be ready to go.
All right icons. So let's see if this thing started. We're giving people enough time to join us. So we'll begin. Let me introduce our guest today. So main card underscore CEO.
You open up your mic and join us so I can ask you a little bit of our main card.
morning or get up in the room. What time is it in your region? So I can address you properly. It's 10 a.m. I'm in California Los Angeles. Oh, wow. We're in a state. Finally, somebody in the same state. I'm in California as well. Usually it's totally different time zones.
What's that one part of Cali? It's a rewind between the LA and San Diego right in the middle. You got to be kidding me.
No, I'm on this video, man. I'm off to Lenovo.
We saw me after the AMA. Yeah, we said we should I'm right up our vine boulevard.
Nice. Send their point. Definitely. We'll definitely have to meet after this. I had no idea. Here's this guy for the first time. Somebody's in my state and city on our AMA. This is amazing. Usually I'm talking to people that are different countries. So just to give you a little bit of familiarity.
But thank you. Can you please tell us how to pronounce your name as well so that way throughout the air after the Joshy correctly? Yeah, my name is Val V.A.L. Pretty simple V.A.L. Okay, just Val. Yeah. Okay, Val got you now. That's perfect. So Val.
Tell us a little bit about yourself tell us a little bit about main card what inspired main card had a main card Come through fruition. We know what motivated you guys to start this project just you know, let us know all about main card again Sure, yeah Of course main cards is a start
up, we're not the regular startup founders, you know, we've been in the business for like 10 years right now, built one of the biggest hardware manufacturing companies in Europe, we're lucky enough to fund ourselves with you know, like 50 million dollars in ARR growing
pretty fast and we've always been the huge sports fans and you know some sports are unlike the others where you cannot make bets on it because they're unpredictable and to help engage fans more
We wanted to create something to let players interact with their teams, the favorite teams, and make the outcomes of it of this interaction. So we saw that Web 3 plays
to earn space is not crowded at all, I would say. And some puns and schemes were disappointing us. I wouldn't name the company, but probably most of us would recognize it. And on the other hand, we had the companies like Sorrier or NBA Top Shot who found the sustainable mechanics. So
We were inspired by them and came up with the platform that helps users just predict the results of the sports events. And on a weekly basis, get rewards for being the most successful manager. In two words, this is where main card started.
Oh wow, so it's essentially like fan assist sports. So having that control to select your team and your player and essentially like fantasy sports, right? Actually, when you come to a main card, you see all the events happening in the real time. So we're talking about the
regular sports like NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB, etc. And the esports as well, the total League of Legends, ball around, etc. So you pick the one where you feel you got the most expertise and you choose the winner, the potential winner of this match using NFTs.
of main cards, we call them the same way main cards, to predict the winner. Whenever you are right, you get points, which later will become tokens. And whoever got more tokens by the end of the week,
get the prices you know first three places are rewarded with the cash prices of three to or one thousand dollars But the greatest part is whenever you lose you don't lose your asset It just becomes less effective as it just becomes a little less effective So next time you'll get less points with it and it's up to you how it
to develop on our platform, either upgrade your NFTs or trade them and sell them through the marketplace, which is great as well. We're bringing the liquidity to the NFT market. Actually, we've been one
of the moments we didn't like about the NFT space is that nobody knows how to evaluate your digital asset. One day somebody sells the tweet of Dorsey for $2.8 million. Next week,
the guy wants to sell it and sells it for like 10k. So you don't have the liquidity, you don't know how to estimate your digital assets, whereas using NFTs as in-game currency gives them the main quality, which is liquidity. If you have
You can look at mine cards as the chips in the casino. If it says 25 bucks on the chip, you will sell it any day, any hour, $4.25, which is great. You know the portfolio evaluation.
And yeah, this is the main idea of main card.
Wow, so it's essentially a point system that always equates to what you earned and what you bet. So similar to just like, you know, sports betting, but through via having these cards and being able to select different details, I like that evaluation because you're right.
space a lot of people fall for the greater fool theory. So if I something and then it'll be worth something for today and then tomorrow you know nobody wants it who cares it was hype it was hype that when it will miss you bought it now you have to deal with the consequences because a lot of times people also don't know how to market and they don't know
they're buying. You know they just want to buy it because it's a hot commodity. But what you guys are doing is you're creating pool system or a system where people can purchase paid on live events and they won't lose their asset. They don't have this other NFT per se, but they'll be able to sell the points that are connected to the main car. Correct?
totally right. And you know, NFTs are not just digital pictures. And the way we treated them for the last 10 years, it's just 10 years last. Blockchain is the greatest technology built in 21st century, but we have to start using them the way they were designed
to be used. Behind every NFT we have the smart contract remember remembering the whole history of the transactions made and this history evilates the pride of our NFTs and you can easily purchase ten dollar NFTs
on our platform and then upgrade it to a $10,000 NFT by using your skills and the market will pay for that. So for you is the great chance to earn but in a sustainable way. So sustainability and liquidity is what we are standing for.
Absolutely because you're right people boom is used the technology of not wonderful tokens You know a lot of people have that misconception that oh this is just a picture. I'm gonna screenshot it. No, there's actually utilities that could be built into the smart side track that works for you It's just on the blockchain, which is immutable so I definitely agree I 100% agree of that. I'm glad to see the
than dynamic changing for entities because they could really make things easier for people. What we're going to do is, you know, this game is just to relate in that technology works. But then we can spread it across the industry and for us the idea is to build the financial fundamentals.
for spreading through the industries we're thinking about, let's say, Stripe for Web 3 within two, three years. And the whole idea of the blockchain is to make transactions transparent, fast, cheap. And this is what we'd like to achieve in the long term.
Absolutely. One thing that I always drill into our community, I say this repeatedly, is mass adoption can take place until people are using this technology without realizing they're doing it. Yeah, you've got only two million gripped the world. It's right now 40 million people know what gripped the
is and how can you develop the technology when half of the world percent of the world population is involved in NFT. We have to bring three billion sports fans to the industry and then they'll figure out the idea of main card is we will educate you on what NFT is what
to smart contracts are and so what minting is in the most fun and engaging way and then from there you will be adapted to the web-tree space, to the blockchain and that's it, this is the idea. Yeah, because we need that simple technology that people can resonate with that just a few questions.
of a button. That's the world we live in. We're web too. Everything was made simple for us to have convenience. We don't have to use multiple devices as much as we used to in the past. So after web 3, blockchain technology needs to purpose people's convenience. So the sooner we do that, the more technology that's built and with that
dynamics like you guys have with main card. It's going to really resonate with people outside of the context of an infeasible because it sports and it's betting. Who doesn't like that? You know, people could resonate with entertainment, especially sports. You know, your favorite sports team might lead you to, you know, okay, really, let me check this out. I want to win some money. I want to invest in this. I want to see#
I'm going to do a bet. I'm going to get it outside of it. So I'm like, you're doing it. So I love you guys. The concept of that. That's amazing. I think you're going to bring a lot of people into this. Yeah, there is one more idea behind this is where Parade is a data company because we want to be the fully transparent
with all the players. If you found the most effective strategy in the fantasy betting and if you win constantly on our platform, it means that your strategy would work in the real world. And this is the chance for you to evaluate without the
chance to lose because when every user enters the platform, he gets NFTs for free. He gets two NFTs of the first level, the common NFTs for free. And now you can just start learning. And when you get to the point where you see that your portfolio is growing,
on a weekly basis, you can switch to the real world. So we would like Gen Z to understand all the risks of real world gambling and to educate them on how to gain knowledge in this field and how to use the expertise further on.
Absolutely. I think that's wonderful because like you said, having that have no statistics and analytics that really show you, hey, your strategy's working. You know, it's like a new template for people to join that they could think about it. It's all about strategy. There's no game. You can't really game it. It's just one of those things where it's like, if you have the skills, you're going to do well. If you#
But if you don't, you're not going to be able to compete and rise and make more money because you're going to lose points. You said, you don't lose your asset, but you lose access to a certain amount of points and certain amount of levels. I like that concept. I think that's a wonderful concept. Are you guys thinking about where are you thinking about expanding? What's your long-term vision for main card is?
as well as sports in general, you're going to move on to other things because you said esports. Where can we see this for like boxing, for like MMA, all of that stuff. Are you guys already incorporated that? Or are you going to what are your plans for like sports globally? Yeah, so after lunch and we're part of it right now with a couple of great
eSports teams with the world champions in Fortnite and Valorant will announce it a bit later. So the first quarter this year will host a couple of tournaments with the greatest companies like Riot Games, Epic Games in eSports. And then the next year
here it will be the most exciting part will launch the add-on for Twitch for the zone for the leading streaming platforms. So you could play minecart without leaving the leading streaming platforms and you can you know, watch the professional Counter Strike tournament
and make the predictions right there or the same way, right. In the same way, you can stay on main card and you can, for us, main card is the chance to increase the user flow to the streaming platform because when
making the prediction on any kind of game, you can within one click go straight to the streaming platform showing this event because obviously to earn you have to be an expert and to be an expert you have to go and see those events, understand the strengths of
the teams and we provide this opportunity. So streaming platforms like ESPN love us and we're in the final stage of negotiations of how we'll be sharing the audience with them and bringing the new type of users to their platforms.
So for the next six years, building the add-ons and expanding through the esports is our main goal. That's amazing. I'm extremely excited for you guys. I think that's going to be wonderful. We need to definitely connect because I think we can help you with those
integrations because we have loads of integrations on platforms as well. So, we definitely need to connect. This is wonderful. ESPN is a whole different category of, you know, in-stream. That's going to be huge for main card because people can resonate with ESPN. I watch ESPN every day. Every single day on
checking in to either their website, YouTube, or the channel, just because I love sports, it's part of my life. I think a lot of people are going to really enjoy the concept of being able to play main card without having to leave the streams. I think that automation and that interconnectability of having an all-in-one encompassing platform
and it's so important. And that's what we do at Media. We save you time, we save you money, and we save you the hassle of having to do anything. We make life simpler for our users. And I think that's what you guys are adopted at Mancard as well. - Sorry for interrupting you. - No, no, no, I was good.
Yeah, yeah, the idea is you know Gen Z is so fast They need to consume much more information than we did you know I mean my 30s So to decrease turn of users from streaming platform you need to give them the reason to stay there
And if you have the 6 hour MMA event, why would the user spend 6 hours watching this event? They will go straight to the main event and by the way the main card, the name of the game came to us as we are the hardcore MMA fans.
and the main card is the final part of the mixed martial arts event where you see the great, right? So to keep those users on the platform, you have to give them the reason. You have to incentivize them with the perks on our
platform on minecart with the moving of the user from one level of NFT to another. Here she gets a new and new perks. So you move to the third level, you can unite clients around you and you can participate in the team tournaments on a monthly basis, like 40 players versus 30
players and actually this would be the small douse within the company when you contribute to the team you're in and then you get the prize accordingly. When you move to the fourth level this is the most exciting part. Now you can actually influence the sports
Let's say I'd love to see Jake Paul versus Mr. Beast in League of Legends. I would launch this proposal and if community resonates with it and they upvote this proposal, then the administration of minecart goes to those guys and says, "Hey."
How much would it be to see you playing League of Legends? Let's say they say like a million bucks. Now you will launch the fundraising campaign and you can make this happen by contributing your NFTs to these events. And this way we first show the
society, the way fans want sports to develop, which events they want to see, and then we improve the life of the content creators, because they can set up the rules, which for us is great to
improve the quality of life of these content creators, sportsmen, etc. You know, again, this was from our MMA experience. The fighters don't get paid enough. Much makers make their events from their own thoughts of what they
want it, you know, they help one fighter to get to the top. And this the fans, they don't always understand the way matchmaking is done. But now you can influence the sports, you can arrange the matchmaking by yourself.
You have more control. You have a decentralized organization behind it where you can have that connection to fans and the fighters because there's a disconnect for all industries with fans and who their fans are in entertainment.
If you see music, there's a disconnect. If you see sports, there's a disconnect. So this is perfect. I think the blockchain is going to do a wonderful job. Protocol, such as yours with main card, is going to do a wonderful job of giving that connection back to the world to connect with their favorite fighters, their favorite basketball players.
the favorite athlete. And that's what's going to change the game. So I really, really, you guys have my flag in your corner. I think this is awesome. I can't wait to look forward to it. I'm definitely going to use it and we need to figure out how we can help you guys out with that because we actually have all the tools that you guys need already.
Yeah, in our case, it's super easy. Just grab a coffee and a run and say, "Anyday." Are you out here at the station? Are you just visiting?
No, I'm here. Oh, wow. I live here. Well, man, we got to be friends now, man, because I don't have any other web three web three friends and I extend a web three family out here. So yeah, let's just do a couple.
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. And there's also people that you can meet out this way too that I have to introduce you to to help you get more exposure. They're like, they're not far away. They're in Orange County as well. So.
I think that's wonderful and this is a great place to start because you know we got the Honda Center. We've got the crypto.com arena. We've got all these different greeners, San Diego right right up the freeway. You know, you're you're
connected, you have all those different connections there. And I know people that have established relationships with a lot of these arenas. So that's something to happen with main card because if you could interact live during a game.
when you're there, there's a way to make that service where it's like you get there and as soon as you get in, as long as you have this NFT, there's a token gate, right? And that token gate allows access during the game where you're live and if you're live there, you get those points just for being there. Yeah, and this is the other great feature and this
This is the idea why users should join us sooner rather than later. When you enter the next level of NFTs, you get the seasonal passes for the games, you get the merge, you get the access to some close events. So by moving from one step to another,
You can get lots of exclusive stuff out there just by showing your skills. You don't need no cash, you don't need to get be heavily invested in it, just use your skills. I love that. Intenters are lore.
as a people that have not only decentralized, you know, I guess you would say to be anonymous a little bit more they could have discretion or identity but also bring a value and I think that's what you guys are doing you guys are offering things that they like you're offering things that people want is not just hey you can get this but what if I don't want that no you want these things and passes don't you use your skills
Sure, and that's why we've launched the DAL, main card DAL on SuperDAL platform. You can find it on our Discord, on our website. The idea is to split the main card among the content creators and to give at least 50% of the content
company to the early adopters of the platform and to content creators. So really you should be awarded according to your contribution. So participation is a very important factor to bank card early on. I think that's wonderful. You know, we award those that have helped
deal along the way. A true doubt, you know, because a lot of dollars aren't true. Yeah, and it's, you know, the problem of the growth, of course, were too early, but there are lots of influencers saying that we wanted to make Web 3 true
decentralized, but now you post your NFT on OpenC within a week they decide to delete it because it doesn't meet some of the requirements. It's not decentralization in our eyes. So yeah we're working on it.
And I believe lots of companies are out there working on this problem, and of course we'll solve it with time. Absolutely. I think where you're headed is you have a business problem and you have a protocol that actually like hit in a rack of people can interact with and it's fun. It's almost like a game. Like let me say
see if I can do this. There's nothing, it's a competition within a competition. You're watching something, you might not be able to play football. You might be five foot two, 108 pounds. You might not be able to have enough athletic body, but guess what? That main card to work for you.
Yeah, our partner just recently signed the eight-year-old kid just killing everybody in Valorant and you know the guy earns right now like 10k a month just playing games you don't have to be like six five four some kind of
activities. It's about your skills and you know we saw the guy who was the best in Formula 1 simulator. Then they brought him to the Nuremberg Ring and he showed the pretty decent results. So yeah, if he could do
to play. You can do it. Yeah, absolutely. You can't really say, oh, the sucks. You can't blame. You can't blame our real life sports. You blame your skill. And you also have to consider probability anything could happen. You know, I was in that week. I was younger. And one thing that realizes you got to
You got to really do their homework when you're considering who's going to win and why. Because you have so many different variables that go into sports that people don't consider whether injury, mental health, different things really continue to having a successful team. And there's always obstacles outside of the competitor.
Yeah, we got the partner called FCF and controlled football. This is the brand new league where you got the eight teams playing football, but at the same time users can predict the outcome.
outcomes of the game, the best players. And they have a couple of dozens of thousands of users and fans on the platform. And the number one
fan right now predicting the most accurate results is 11-year-old guy.
So right now he got the seasonal pass to visit every game, but the guy made 54 predictions in the role of who's gonna make it touchdown, who's gonna make the most homeruns, you know.
Absolutely, and I think I think that's an amazing feature to have is that you're not really guessing you can't get you can't call a guessing essentially But I love the fact that you guys have like a real I just would say edge to your to your sports betting because there's assets involved, you know, I'm so tired
hard of what I see in the media for in terms of what betting has become and I'm pretty sure you heard about you know I hate looking at the news and they're like oh the people are betting on when Kim Kardashian's new boyfriend's gonna be. Oh yeah. Who cares you know it is like that
both. There's no incentive for that. How can you, you know, predict that? It's changed. But now you guys have something that makes sense. It makes sense. There's an asset behind this that I can not only bet on my favorite force team for just money, but my NFT is kind of like the filter between me and that. So I don't lose completely.
Yes, sure. And the only one who decides the efficiency of the platform is the user. And the fact that within four days we got over 50,000 players is crazy. We've never seen anything like that. And you know, $2,000 in marketing budget and 50,000
registration is crazy for the first testnet where they help us to test pretty much one feature. We're super grateful and in October we'll run the second testnet where they will see much more fun stuff. If I had a found board I would send out some bums right now about to amazing.
Yeah, we're super excited and thankful and you know the early adopters they already got some pretty cool stuff through the discord. We got the 50 rolls of the OGs and
the rare NFTs, like in our case, the rare NFT cost like $100, the Epic NFT cost $1000, we already got those NFTs divided among the fans and at the end of this testnet, which is the next week we end
and everybody can still join will issue a $50,000 in main card NFTs as a price fund to the early adopters and this will give them the huge opportunities once the game starts because they will be ahead of everybody. Yeah, absolutely.
And I think that's a wonderful incentive to have because community is important. And that's what I always try to push during these AMAs in our podcast media speaks, media I speak episodes is community is the key. You have to take care of your community. If you if you only think about yourself, you're not web 3.
Yeah, so luckily for us, you know, we treat it as a social product and it's a social mission that we have. We're lucky enough to build the great company and to establish, you know, our incomes.
until the end of the days. So right now it's not about it's another stuff that's been popular in 2017. You know, ICO, you pump and dump, you quickly get shout using your users, which is terrible. You just
take their money and you know, disappear, which we still see today. But mainly the market started to understand those incentives pretty early and we hope that we will see a less of that in the future.
I'm excited. I think you guys have a product that's going to enter a lot of homes. I think it's going to be one of those. I feel as if this is going to be one of those protocols, the blockchain and Web3 protocols that people are going to resonate with early just because it's an easy to use. You guys give back a lot. It's not like, I'm surprised that companies like DraftKings and
and different fantasy sports haven't chimed into this already. I'm like, wow, they don't even know what they're missing out on. You would think they were trying to reach out to companies such as yourself because it would benefit them. But I think you guys are going to be the new face because people are tired of getting a few years
losing more than you're gaining and you have nothing to show for once you lose. Yeah, we believe we can overcome draft kings within 12 months and the way they still are able to sell 200 million dollars worth of NFTs within 30 days while those NFTs just doesn't mean anything. They just
turn the NBA highlights into NFTs. So what are you going to do about it? All right, you have this NFT on your computer. I have the YouTube. I can watch the same highlight. Why did you pay for it? Yeah, you don't own anything. It's not like you own it. It's not like you can use it without the NBA.
Yeah, it's like the the land in the metaverse. Do you gonna rent it? How do you gonna earn using it? Your digital asset has to work. It has to have a purpose. Yeah, there's something that you've
I think a lot of people don't understand, they don't understand what they want to do. They want to make money off of foolish people and naive people. I don't want to say foolish people, nobody is foolish when they hear about something, but they are really making it easier for you but also harder.
up to three as a whole because they're inducing predatory practices already. And it's really sad to see because nobody verifies anything. It's a one guy that comes to the table and says, hey, we're going to do this. Okay, let's do it. They don't think about, you know, well, how does this, what is this? Who should we connect with? And you guys don't have that problem. You guys have done#
Yeah, that's why we should start with education. But the most effective education is in the gamified manner. So we'll let you play and every step you make on our platform, we'll be educating you on what you've done right now with the smart contract, how we process the data,
What crypto is what now is how you how you can make revenue out of it the idea is To introduce the web 3 to every user regardless of his you know being digital savvy or not will it?
educate them with time and this is the purpose number one. I cannot wait to see what may what you guys are going to do in Vegas. I can't wait to see what you guys are going to know. You guys have plans because that's where all the major sports readiness for a boxing for MMA. I can't wait to see what you guys do. I feel
like main card is going to have hotels in. Yeah, also we'll be participating in the with summit, 27th of September. We can meet there as well in LA where we'll be meeting Mr. Beast discussing the waste for cooperation. Yeah, hopefully we'll see.
see lots of exciting things this year. It's called the Vid Summit, the ID Summit, where you'll have the top influencers talking about the future of content creator economy and it's the great
place to be and discuss the D2C project and the Web Tree. So I definitely recommend to everybody to attend. I'm definitely going to be there man. We might have the carpool or something. Yeah, I'm definitely going to be there. That's crazy. And that's like next
Yeah, yeah, that's the next week. So that's awesome. It's all about those conferences connecting with people that you don't know. A lot of people make the foolish mistake of not connecting early, not networking, staying on a little island like behind the scenes. You can't do that. You have to do all
of the groundwork, IRL, as well as online. And that's all about, that's what I've been doing. I've been attending a lot of events. I've been meeting a lot of people and it's crazy how fast you can connect in a web3 right now. And you guys are doing the same thing for your community by connecting with these partners for sports ESPN.
What else you send a few other partners as well. Yeah, Delta Trail. So you guys are giving your community direct access, direct access to these companies often even known.
Yeah, right. The idea is, and especially in D2C products, you have to go out there as quickly as possible. And we're asking our users to help us build in every message we send, we say,
Let's build together because every user will be the minority partner of the platform. And we want to build the product that people would love, would use. And they would say, I help build in this product. So this is our approach.
I love it. I think you guys are on your way to something amazing. I can't wait to see what fans fires after like it's really easy to understand, you know, for the most part, anyone who's new to this, even somebody who doesn't understand sports can play this and potentially loves sports after.
For the simple fact that you're giving them a new sort of strategic way to use their brain, you know, because people need to use their brains more. Now I have a question. You don't have to answer it because it's kind of off the wind since you was in California. I've got to ask you.
What do you think about the, I see a lot of commercials about both No on Prop 27 and gambling and different things. What do you think is a good way to combat that with what you're doing with main card? Like how are you going to, how would you, circumpass or surpass that type of issue as far as I have been having these kinds of
of sports betting systems on the web to be unblocked. Yeah, so first of all, we've passed like four legal commissions with main card to prove that we are the game of skills. We don't get any rewards for
people playing this directly. We only earn the commission when you earned by playing and you decided to sell your NFT and the other play bought it. So we get the guest commissions for the transaction.
And when you make the predictions on our platform, you don't receive direct payments. So this is very important to note that you get rewarded as the most effective manager by the end of the week. And if you lose, like in traditional bidding, of course, you put the money.
you might win or lose, you often lose in our case, you don't lose anything. You just, you know, keep playing and keep educating yourself and you get the notice that, hey, this time you didn't win and you should know that in the real life, you could have lost it.
So yeah, this is the approach and we see that some companies from the gambling industry. Of course, it's a huge space, so they are deciding to move to Web 3. Well,
Good luck to them. For us, the idea is to make it as safe as possible and to educate people. Of course, you know, like Asians, let's say they spend up to 30% of their income on gambling and it ruins lots of lives.
In our case, we will do anything to protect our audience from this and hopefully our education for the Gen Z will help them overcome this problem of gaming at the early stage.
That's wonderful. We partner with a lot of different gaming protocols, play the earn games recently. They have taken the concept of real life, I guess you would say gambling, and they put it into the form of a game.
To where it's like a little bit you have more odds to win for example There's a game by the name of rooster wars I don't know if you're familiar with rooster wars. Yeah, I'm you guys should definitely connect with him if you haven't already
We didn't. Yeah. I can make that happen after, you know, later today or, you know, during the next weeks because they're going to, I don't know if you know how big the rooster fighting is and the Philippines.
No, no idea. But in general, I know the market is great. Like, Philippine style and there. Yeah, it's crazy over there. And what they've done is they've made a game out of it where they've added the traditional rock paper scissors concept to it.
you're finding a rooster so it takes strategy. You guys, if you guys can connect main cards of head as well, you're pretty sure you can see where that's going. Yeah, happy to establish a new connection. You know, we even when we started with the MMA, there is the Rogan coin named after Joe Rogan.
Yeah, which is funny they've made it but we said any fan having the Joe Rogan coin might get one NFT on our platform to start playing so we're happy to any collaborations there are in the market. I love that. I love that. You know, Joe Rogan, that's the type of person you want.
to the brand be behind this you know because he's off sports you know he's all is with UFC MMA his podcast is amazing so that's wonderful you guys have you guys have the right step in the right direction you guys have the right direction and I love it so wow I gotta say thank you man for joining us this is wonderful you know I'm really
I'm glad that you opened my mind to a deeper understanding of main card. We're going to have to stop again coffee either the day or some time when you have time. I'll connect with you after this, but I want to say we truly appreciate you for joining us. Usually I open up the floor to have our community ask questions. Are you open to that?
Sure, sure, what we're here for and I'm glad so many people are here. Thank you all for joining. Thank you. So since we have 35 requests, that's pretty much a lot. We ain't going to be able to do all of that.
What I'm going to do is when I do every AMA is I take that hat and I've written down how we were speaking all the names of the requests and every two minutes I look for a new request and I write their name down.
And what I'm going to do is I'm going to draw a name from the hat after I shake it. So once I do that, whoever, whoever, who's ever Twitter handle that I will be able to ask you a question. Just, just want to let you know that. So with that being said, do you mind if we get started?
Sure. All right. Well, I'm shaking up that hat now with the names in it.
For the one who makes her, you know, I'm fair. Let's see.
whose name is this? We've got Andy 659. I'm not going to read the rest of that.
Andy, we're gonna bring you to the stage.
Once you've connected the floor door is my friend.
Hey Andy, thanks for joining us. Do you have a question?
Hello. How are you doing?
My question is I went to invest in your project and what are you studying your project or how many people are working in your project and what benefit do they get and what benefit will I get this my question.
Yeah, so I got the first part of the question how many people are there in the project? Do you mean the users or do you mean the team? Regarding the team we got the 12 developer
So far, regarding the users, as I said, it's 50,000 players registered for the first test net. So we believe that we'll reach 100,000 by November when we launch.
Thank you. Thank you so much for that answer, Val. Yeah, and I wanted to just say that any question you got, as I've mentioned on Twitter before, we are committed to entering any email with
have. So hello at maincard.io will answer any question you got there within like 24 hours. Is there a way that I take the follow you put it like on Discord or Twitter can I reach you guys a lot of email?
Yes, sure. Okay, guys. So since you already know the deal, I hate to give a task early because there's still in the middle of our other tasks, but you guys already know the drill. So if you're listening now, please go follow me on Twitter. That'll be the first task you guys are here early. So you guys will have early access.
Go follow me on Twitter. Do you guys have a link tree in your bio by chance? We don't, but all of our social networks are on the website. Maincard.io. There are their Discord, Twitter, Telegram as well. So guys, go follow me.
cards, Twitter, their Discord, and their Telegram. Once you've done so, I'll announce the task at a later time because we've got a lot going on. We've got too much going on and not already, but if you want to, you're going to get an early heads up that that's going to be task number one for main cards tasks. So guys, go do that.
Thank you so much, I'm gonna bring up somebody else to the stage. Thank you again Andy. Appreciate you for joining us. Your name has been entered into the first round draft. So next let me see when you sync up this hat to bring up some more questions because we've almost been here for an hour and we really respect the time of our guest you know you guys are busy.
Oh, yeah, I'm open to this for you know, I got another 40 minutes. Okay cool cool. Well, we'll keep it I usually keep it around a hour, you know, to hour 15 minutes just because
know we we got their meetings as well but you know thank you for that 40 minutes but we'll keep it shorter than that hopefully. Let's see who else is next we've got
Janage A10, Janage A10, Jato, bring you to the stage.
Once you've connected the floor, George.
So try the AMA made me mention of your token. So don't you know if later you can confirm main card and I will raise the token card instead. And what are the utilities? What is token be used for the betting? Thank you.
Yes, so currently we're on polygon and using my method for metac for withdrawing all the prizes. And later, as I said later, this quarter or the first quarter next year will
turn main card points into main coins which would be our token. So they will be used for purchasing NFTs and for spending those tokens on
any products of our partners as well as withdrawing so we didn't mention it still but we got the deal with the coin list to launch our token it's just a matter of we don't want to be
the other product lunch in the coin without having the credibility in the market. So we'd love to increase our user base to at least 100,000 people and then list on
the coin list. So it each shell be sustainable it has to have the number of users to use it really and then we'll be using it for all the operations on minecart and beyond minecart.
Wonderful answer, wonderful answer. I appreciate that.
Thank you so much, Jato, for joining us. Your name is also interviewed until the first round drawing.
I appreciate you. I love that idea that you guys are doing. You're actually building your community first and getting users before dropping and talking. And Rucksals, I kind of was sweet at that, but it worked out well for us.
But I appreciate that. That's a great concept. And I'm glad that our community can hear that for future builders and whatnot. Okay. So on to the next name. Let me shake it up.
Alright, let me take this paper. What does it say? Man, I write so fast you guys already know. I write a letter. It's like, I just, because I'm scribbling fast so many people join in. I want to
give a special shout out to Jay Harris for joining us today. And listening into this, hear me Jay, fill up a reaction for me. Glad to have you here brother. Let's see, we've got
Robert, go 99, bring you to the stage, my friend.
when you're connected with the start. Hey, Robert, how you doing? How are you doing? How are you doing? I'm going to listen in the hammer. Water, water, you sir.
doing great doing great you know I'm enjoying the same way as well I'm glad to have out here do you have a question for me in Cardinal? Yeah can I ask? Yeah of course okay so my concern is
What is the most important function of main card and why? And what are the advantages of the main card compared to other Buddha? That's my question, sir.
If I'm not mistaken, the first part is about the concern that we get. Right Robert? Can I repeat? What are the most important functions of vehicle and why?
the most important function share, most important function and why?
Wow, the most important function. Right, so the most important thing that we got is the ability and I'm not sure whether you will see that a lot in the market. You can merge NFTs into the next level under certain circumstances.
which is the fundamentals of the blockchain. You should meet the criteria for the event to happen. In our case, by using 2NFTs that we withdraw to you for free, you can get to the NFT worth of $10,000
more, just using your skills. So, you'll always go up if you're the effective manager. And then you can sell it depending on what strategy you've chosen, whether you want to win on a weekly basis, or whether you want to upgrade the NFTs and then sell it to the other users.
So I would say that the main part is the ability to follow the structure of the blockchain and upgrade NFTs after meeting the certain criteria which happens instantly, which is the core
of blockchain in general. Yeah, if I first heard instead of function, I heard the concern. So our concern is that once we've started on the daily basis, we got DDoS attacks, which is
as I've said, I'm Fluttered guys on Twitter but somebody keeps sending us 100 requests per second to, you know, break the platform but our team, I'm happy to see the eager here which is the city of the platform.
from he was the tech lead of one of the biggest banks in the world and he was responsible for the blockchain security for years. So guys, keep trying. Great job. This is one of the things where you see that your project becomes notable when people want to break it.
Thank you Robert. So they sent you 100 video effects. Yeah. What? Yeah.
100 per second per second man wow well good luck to them because you guys you know you guys have the development on your side that you know won't allow that but wow that's crazy isn't it a funny funny industry in the blockchain
Let's see. Let me get back to shaking this hat and pulling a few names.
Let's see who we can bring up. Let's see who we can bring up.
Oh wow, we've got one of our usuals. We've got Chuckie.
So, check again for you to the floor, my friends.
And then after this guys, we'll ask our last question and we'll let Val be on his way. We appreciate it for joining us.
Alright, Jackie, you're on the floor of my brother. Yeah, hello guys, can you hear me?
Yeah, we can hear you. Yeah, so you said during the aim in the Higajuram polygon. So just a quick one. Giblan to expand to other blockchains, asset from polygon, or would you remain on your polygon?
Yeah, thank you for the question. If you could add eager to answer, because he's got all the plans. We're using the
Polygon is the most effective right now, the user-friendly network. But in two words, our plans are to make it the cross-chain platform. So of course, we'd love to expand to the other platforms and protocols.
but you know the idea is not to build the spaceship from the very beginning but send it to the market as quickly as possible get your feedback guys and we will be rearraging, rearraging
some of the features and some of the UX design according to your feedback that we are getting from this testnet. And then once we're in the market, we'll be adding new features, new protocols and hopefully we'll be the cross-chain technology. And there are some
much out there going on right now, new protocols launch. They stick to the efficiency. And of course, in our case, what we did is usually in NFT space, you got like 9999 NFT cars.
they limit you artificially and try to increase the price of the collection. As the main cards are the in-game currency, you are not limited in issuing these cards. And every NFT is unique. You want to see two similar NFTs on the platform.
But the idea is that transaction has to be as cheap as possible. And in our case, it costs like 5, 6 cents per mint in NFT, which is the main idea for us because the NFT of the first level, the self-cost cannot be more than the price of the NFT.
Thank you, Jack. And so, yeah, hello everyone. I'm the eager and the city of the project and I will add some answer by the while. So we are working on the polygon network to make sure that the transaction on the live broadcasts are the fastest in the web
three if you know about that. So everyone has time to bet on what they want. We are also developing our own coin so we already have it to place and it's being tested on the testnet which is going on now. So you can buy the NFT or the NURity but for
Nowadays you can buy only command NFT, but it's not important. So with our coin and we will have the interesting integrations with eSTV to each one inch and sushi swap integrations So the polygon is a necessary network for us and we are working for the many years for the
polygon. I think my team working on the polygon since 2018. I guess maybe some earlier in the early beta polygon. So we're not about that very well and we have the cheapest transaction as well. So yeah, thank you Chucky.
Awesome. Thank you Igor. Thank you Val for the awesome answers. Yeah, you're welcome. Thank you. Thank you Chuck. You've rejoined us brother. Appreciate your question.
Also guys, Val and Igor, are you guys partnered with what they got? Are you planning for partner? Or is that already established? Yeah, they have, it's a trick of one. So we have the marketing agreement. We're not allowed to say the word partner.
But what we use is collaboration, teaming up, etc. I can send you the three pages document from them explaining how you can and cannot address.
this celebration. But as we run through their venture arm, once we get the funding from them, we'll be able to say we are partners.
Hopefully we'll announce it to later this quarter. Awesome. We're kind of going through some similar. That's why I had to ask. Yeah, that's amazing. I just had to ask that. So guys, I'm going to ask, I'm going to bring up one more person to the floor. So who will it be?
If you have a question, do you want to request this your last chance to request? Because this will be the last question of the day. I'm going to be picking because we have over 30 requests right now. If you just join as a request, I'm going to look and I'm going to write your name down.
Mario pushed this hand button like 40 times Mario yeah, I tried to I tried to be fair so I tried to draw hands because we have like 30 we have like 33 things but since you're our guest you mentioned them I'm gonna bring them to the stage
Is it here, too? Or did he leave? Yeah, yeah, I see this picture of that Super Mario.
Hey Mario, you didn't change the picture to do.
I can see him on your arrow. Yeah, we can switch to any other guest. They all are equally very close. Here he goes. I see him now. He switches.
All right, Mario, so you've been right up to the stage to ask your question.
Thank you, Man. Thank you for joining us.
What are your plans for global expansion? Are you focusing at the market at this time or focusing on building and developing your project or getting new community or users or petnation? Thank you very much.
Yeah, thank you very question. Yeah, it's the mix of both. Regarding Play to Earn games, if you take a look at the statistics, we see that emerging markets are the number one here. And you know, they even outplay the US. I would say the China
Indonesia, some of the Eastern European countries. So we got two marketing teams. One is working on influencer marketing and we have lots of requests from YouTubers and crypto media in the
case. And the other one is expanding through both Asian and the US market, working through discord, telegram, TikTok, YouTube, etc. So, you know, we don't want this to be the capital.
heavy and the greatest part is that with the smaller budgets we can target lots of people because it gets viral. With time we are at the start-up, we don't want to poor all of the money into not effective types of
traffic so hopefully you guys will help us expand. But yeah, two markets. I understand they are pretty broad but one is Asian, the second one is the US market and we equally spend our time on these two markets.
Thank you very much. Thanks for the clarification. Thank you, Marry.
Thank you for joining us Mario. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Wow. Thank you so much Igor We're totally looking forward to main cards success I think you guys have a wonderful project things like you guys have everything underlined and all of your own You've got it all your eyes and crossed all of your teeth. This is an amazing project. I'm very happy to
to have this AMA with you guys, I look forward to doing this again in the near future. We're going to get that call. I'll connect with you after this so we can speak some more. Looking forward to thank you all guys. Great to be here. Looking forward to meeting you again and we got a lot of requests
to regarding the test net because we wanted to make it like one week and then stop it. But the guys want us to make it you know last till our official launch. So we'll be adding the new features right when it's live. So probably we will
Leave this open till our lunch so stay tuned you can Go there look at the new features in the real time Everything you asked for Wow see guys be sure to follow main card on Twitter, Instagram and Discord
because you want to be able to keep up with them and follow up with their updates and stay connected. That'll be patch number one. We have another AMA tomorrow guys. I'm announcing that live now. So we're going to do our quizzes and whatnot a little differently because I want to give everybody time to listen. I think it's only fair and I want to see more
participants so we might not have a quiz today we might have a double quiz over the weekend so thank you guys for joining us you know thank you again Val thank you again Igor I always in these and may say one thing and I started off saying something and what I what I usually say is
make sure that you're taking care of yourself in real life. We talk about our avatar uses and the future of avatars are the future of the metaverse. We say a lot of things about online issues. We don't talk about health for ourselves. So make sure that you drink some water today or tonight or wherever you learn the world.
sure that you're staying keeping your body full of nutrition as vitamins makes sure you're eating well. Make sure you eat at least one vegetable, at least one fruit, stand up, get off of your screens, get away from your computer, go outside, get some fresh air, and do a little exercise if you can. But at least try to take
care of yourself because we need to help you. We need to take care of our actual avatars, which is our human body. So with that being said, EOR, now, thank you guys. You guys have anything else you'd like to end off by saying? Stay hydrated. Hey, you guys heard it yourself from Val.
So thank you guys again with that being said, icons.
Bye, thanks a lot. Bye bye. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
