Amazing Jeff Roman, would you guys like to do a quick mic check? What's going on Peter happy for ride a man. How are you guys all doing happy for our day brother? Yeah, hello, hello another day in Paradise gentlemen
I think twice. Yeah, I'm super excited to have you on today Romano. We connected a few weeks back and good to see you, man. Yeah, I go to here, man. Thank you. We're really appreciate. Can you hear me?
I use my connection stable. Oh, loud and clear by then. Perfect. So just to kick everything off, we have a very special guest.
today and joining us in the Telos community. This is Roman from the Garren world. A fantastic idea platform that we are very excited to introduce myself. I'm Peter. I am the CMO for Telos. Jeff would you like to introduce yourself and maybe
kick off the first question for Roman? Yeah, no worries at all. So I lead up strategic partnerships really just trying to find high quality projects and making sure they get brought through the ecosystem as effectively as possible. You know, when you think about the lifecycle of a project, you have many different
That can be kind of inception, that can be MVP launch, you know, and then you get into the later stages like beta and true usage. And I think one of the key issues a monoproject, so I'm like, three, I've trouble with, is the launch sector. And it's because they just don't know how to do it properly.
And to be fair, I don't think a lot of people in this space know how to do it properly as well. If you think about it, it's basically like a wheel with all these different spokes. And even if one spoke is bent, you're not going to be functioning as effectively as possible. So having key partners like Roman and M on board is awesome because
because they are like-minded and they also want to get projects over the line with all those folks intact and the car rolling smooth. So super excited to do this today. Now the first question we have here just is pretty basic. Wanted to go in kind of, you know,
about the game and the project history and you guys as founders. Let me introduce myself first. I think my name is Roman and I'm a chief technical officer and co-founder
founder of the Gagarin world, also chief technical officer and co-founder of R Squad Blockchain Lab. And yeah, let me tell a little bit about the Gagarin world. So the Gagarin world was founded by the R Squad Blockchain Lab.
This is an international team with over eight years of experience in implementing blockchain projects. We have successfully completed more than 75 projects at Asquat Blockchain LAPA on various blockchains, on different technologies from
Ethereum, let's say, to Solana and Ton, of course. So about the garing world. The garing world is a web-free ecosystem that offers a wide range of services and opportunities for projects to successfully launch as well
well as various earning options for investors. The platform was launched in February 2022 and in April we ran our first idea. From this type we have ran more than 70 ideas.
over 560 projects I think have applied to run their radio on our platform. Our community grown to over 80,000 members. Total fund raised for projects exceed what
million dollars we have established more than 90 partnerships with crypto companies projects networks and so on and we ranked as a dot-term by crypto rank and crypto graph I think that's all with introduction amazing thank
Thank you for walking through all that men, really, really appreciate it. And it's been following your HSC for a while now, man. You guys have done an excellent job. Thank you. In your mind, when you think about the platform you built, what do you think are some main features that distinguish you from other platforms out there?
Thank you for this question. And you know, generally there are two main features that distinguish Gagarin World from other platforms. First is, in my opinion, first is our approach to working
with investors and running ideas in general. We consider our primary value to be our investor community. So we try to avoid things like, you know, high barriers to entry for investors in terms of required knowledge.
or weak risk management or shifting of investment risks on to non-professional market participants. So we develop our platform as a system with really simple usage for our investors
and for crypto newcomers. Users don't need any special knowledge to participate in ideal thanks to our interface and streamline the direction with the platform. We also have implemented an investor protection system
which all those investors to recover their money to refund their money, let's say, in the event of an unsuccessful project launch. And second feature is our approach to work with project. You know, it may
sound like you know like common case but I think today we will talk a little bit more about marketing in general and I think our listeners will understand better what do I mean. So about approach to working with projects
Our primary goal until now, our primary goal was to help project race fans for development and launch. However, after observing the trajectory of project post-launch and so on, we realized
that they require more comprehensive support, including promotion, development assistance and more. Consequently, we shifted our focus from being just a fundraising platform to let's say ecosystem that have
project to successful a lot. Thank you for walking through all that man. I think you know you hit the nail on the head right it's something that it seems easy but when you get into it there's all of these moving pieces and these products really need help on all angles right it's not just
about the launch and the mechanism there. It's about marketing and the go-to-market strategy. It's about having a good funnel so that people actually stay after launch. There's so many pieces that are possible that go into a successful launch and it's important to make sure that the launchpad is really helping with those as well.
Yeah, one on good person. And so if you think about kind of what you've done for other ecosystems and now coming on board with Tellos, what kind of assistance do you plan to kind of offer the projects that are on Tellos looking to launch with you? Okay, so of course our main service
is writing ideas. We have a big experience in it. We know how to do it more where we completely understand that idea is not only a pool for collecting funds, so we provide additional marketing, advising, technical support, and so on.
Wouldn't you just believe me that success of project is our success and the success of our investors is our success. So that's our main aim. But in addition to the idea of services, we offer wide range of services.
services to our clients in collaboration with our partners and composing everything from development and marketing to a listing and market making. For example, Jeff I think always ready to help every project in the world. And then we are really glad to
have a partners like Herman like Towers. Moreover, the Guardian world is not the only, as I told you, is not the only lunch part that partners we also have incubation line tools. Incubation tools line. Since we are essentially
We clearly understand how to develop things and we understand that we don't want to increase the cost of all products.
I mean that we can provide our development, blockchain development services to projects if they needed, but we don't want to, we prefer to develop some little products which will help them like wild white label solutions and so on.
So since all projects go through the same path at the start, I mean race fans start staking, distribute tokens and so on, we have developed really made solutions for all these type of processes. Our incubation tools line consists of fundraising tools
a token distribution tool claiming ports, a tool for customizing staking pools and creating staking pools and so on. All these tools are built in and can be easily integrated into a project's website.
want to give you a small spoiler, it's free to use. So our aim is project teams not to reinvent the wheel. So we prefer to provide them white label solutions
which they can use for free without any installment cost and optimize their development power and spend their resources to their project, not to doing the same stuff for a project to project.
Yeah, we're 100% well said and free as well man, that's incredible I Think you know when you think about you know, you're you know kind of your motto launch padded a future You know that that definitely aligns because in a futuristic world obviously we're still all
here and that help is intrinsically helping ourselves. The success of the project truly is the success of the platform and vice versa. And so thinking about that, thinking about the future, tell us a little bit about what is in your future plans, at least all the things that you can share, no top secrets of course.
Okay, I will tell, let's say only about spring, 20, 23, so because we announced it, but believe me, we have plans for, I don't know, maybe decade or something like that. So if we are talking
about spring, we have numerous ambitious plans for growth and development. Our focus is on improving the technical aspects of the Gagarin, like user experience, liquidity, multi-chain support, and of course marketing and sales we need to improve it too.
But if we're talking about product, we are set to refine our interfaces for enhanced accessibility and usability, of course. We'll be introducing a new program for DGR trading fares that we'll be using with DGR tokens.
I mean farming and it also will give our investor increased allocation power, let's say increased tier if they provide liquidity to our farming pool. Additionally, we plan to launch projects across various networks
I'm 100% sure that this spring you can wait amazing project from TALUS. I want to say that I want to run IDOs on TALUS, but I want a person sure that we will do it.
So we also plan to develop a claim in portal for users to manage their claims across all supported networks, because it's a real big deal for new commerce to check when they should claim, just because if they will claim later, the price can go down and so on.
decided to develop a new form of lunch, but using Claiming Portal with Kalimdair and so on. So you can claim across all network in one place. You have a massifications, you know when to claim.
know how to optimize it and so on. This is about user experience that I talked previously. We're talking about sales part about project part to minimize risk. We will only a large project with our advanced
protection system of our investors. Let me explain what does it mean to invest a protection system. It includes two parts. First of all, that investors can re-farm their funds if during first
two hours after listing with no reason, just because it's opportunity for them to decide to do they want to invest this project or not after listing and the second part of
this system is that we all of users to refund if a project price goes down below the audio price after listing. I think if somebody interested I can send a link
to documentation or something someone from our team will help you with that. Yeah, and if we're talking about our plans, the last part would be let's say marketing part, yeah. We will introduce a referral program, new referral program.
And also we will release the program which will reward users who invest in every idea, of course, with the protection system. I mean, as much your invest is more benefits than the rewards you get.
And I think you all know, but 12 April is the celebration of Yuri Gagarin space flight. So we will celebrate it and we prepare a lot of presents
and bonuses for our investors. So please, if you have time, we will be glad if somebody will join our celebration. There will be a lot of surprises. Another reason, man, I will be there. I think you may be there.
I could mention earlier, which was like, you know, I try and help everybody. And I feel the same about you guys, honestly. The thing is, is when you see projects that come through the space and they're trying to do something and you have knowledge on that, you want to share that, of course, right? You want to help push people forward in the right direction.
I hope that we get positive momentum. And the downside is that there is work in capital restrictions, right? There's only one of you, only there's only one of myself. There's only one of Peter, right? So the people that sometimes have this knowledge are unable to have the largest effect possible just through those restraints. But you still want to do that, like out of
to add those of yourself, you still want to create that impact. I think what's interesting about what you guys have built is that you are effectively trying to maximize that, same with us as tellos, speaking of that knowledge into multiple hands and therefore essentially exponentially help those founders.
And so as you think about that, your value adds. And then to the market right now, which is kind of, you know, it's looking good, but people are still worried, obviously, they're looking at the macro. You know, how do you view, I guess, the market and then your ability to still help them successfully in these turbulent times?
Yeah, let's talk in general just because I think we introduced Gikarin enough. So in my opinion, the current situation on the crypto market are inviting various aspects of crypto startups.
such as investment, traction, listings, and community development. So what I can say that the volume of investments has decreased, making it more difficult for startups to raise funds through venture capital.
projects community can still be leveraged to race funds for development. Unfortunately, the market is plagued by scams involving different players such as projects, lunchpots, advisors and exchanges, and so on.
Next problem is that some projects are led by individuals with limited experience and understanding of crypto market and blockchain technology in general while their enthusiasm is valuable.
unexperienced leaders, often make mistakes and misallocate resources causing their projects to fail at launch and disappear without benefiting everyone involved.
Over the past year, the crypto startups and investment market has transformed significantly. It used to be that investing in any project at any stage could be out of big profit.
However, the current market conditions have led to numerous underperforming projects like the Langepartree funds and hesitant venture capitalists. This shift has prompt investors to approach
market with more co-share co-sion, especially in a bare market where new investors tend to be skeptical. As a result, Ideo are evolving from being primarily investment tools to a hybrid of
marketing tools and let's say crowd-finding platform. Despite all problems and challenges, projects will continue to emerge and the market is expected to recover eventually.
hundreds of projects lined up for launch on Gagarin indicating that the market is adapting and improving its processes. As the market evolves, the demand on the project will increase.
preparing them better for future growth. And in conclusion, while the situation may appear pessimistic, the market evolution is actually driving positive change.
to be honest, I'm very optimistic in this case. We can expect the market to be better, prepare to embrace a bull run, which will ultimately benefit everyone involved in long-term.
Yeah, I think I answered your question. No, I would agree with that. I think that the sentiment, you know, once it gets momentum and it really picks up, you see that affects the larger amount grow and the net trickles down kind of from the large caps, small caps and obviously what we're looking at here is
Typically the small cap coins that you guys are getting involved with but you know I guess from an application perspective from a launch perspective How have you seen the overall macro and kind of this current market affect you by specifically a good game? Ah, good good
But first I want to add little bit to previous question. I would say summarize what I mean. I mean that yeah, we have a problem. We have a bad market. We have a lot of you know bad launches and so on but all these are led to
to, you know, to, uh, uh, launch paths become stronger, improve their due diligence, improve their protection systems and so on. It to make investors stronger, it make projects stronger. And so, you know, it's a
very popular to say like oh it's bear market you don't need to invest and so on when there will be bull run yeah we will all like swim in money you know in cash but my idea is that this you know
high times, all those us, other large part, network's project to grow, to become stronger. And when Bolrun will happen, I think nothing will change. I mean, we are stronger, we are prepared for
run and it's much better if we all do nothing and just wait for a bull run. So I think that all these problems, you know, let us to be stronger and in general it's good. What about your question? The most
significant change in the shape of ideas from raising tools to more marketing tools. Ideals now focus on guarantee liquidity and
participant number, participants number. A project that struggled to raise funds in private rounds can no longer solely rely on lunchbox rounds as they did one year ago because of free fund programs
investor protections and so on. In general, lunch, but including Gagarin, of course, prioritized investor safety, which prevents projects from relying on ideals as a fundraising source. Ideals have begun more of a
You know, let's say more cost than the source of income, aiming to distribute tokens in small amounts to large number of users to expand coverage. Listing has changed as well.
project must calculate their tokenomics, monitor exchange rates, define work plans to make ideal viable and the year of massive returances over and the projects need to balance smaller returances with
conserving funds for further development. But if we're talking about market in general, yeah, and of course our main topic is the startup market, ideals, investments, etc. But no, I'm a chief technical officer and I want
to not focus only of the present and the future of startups, but talk a little bit about technology and about networks and so on if you don't mind. In my opinion, we
Currently witnessing the next wave of blockchain re-understanding. There are a lot of new blockchains that offer increased speed, scalability, security, or introducing innovative technologies that change existing blockchains such as
stocks, stocks, BLS and there are other zero-proof solutions and so on. I think we all know what is it. Although mass adoption is yet to occur due to technical organizations and legal challenges, we are moving
towards change the technological paradigm and platform. The key question is whether EVM compatible blockchains, like for example, tell us, will dominate or if new technologies will emerge like, we'd say, after sort
like Tom, the current market situation represents a shuffling of forces, opening doors for new technologies which will be developed or which already developed on existing platform. And as a TD
I can say that we can expect growth in these areas making the future of technology interesting and exciting. It's very interesting and exciting for personally me. Yeah man, I can feel you being here. I think your, you know, your overview theories is pretty
pretty good and if you look at the landscape now versus a year or a half ago, you had a lot of the focus. It's always really been on the investors, right? But in the bullish movements, everyone's making money and so the launch pads really are trying to make sure quality assurance is at the top.
that they're getting those projects into investors. And now it's almost like the investors, you know, which we all are very sure inside of it, they're being very, very picky for getting that in the bull season, they are hounding the launchpads. Now they're almost scrutinizing them, giving them a lot of trouble, which is
why you see all the investor protections come in and the refund policies and it makes it very difficult for the launch back mile now because it is something that is truly praised in the bull season and then kind of scrutinized in the bear and that can be a very tough mile to operate. Cheers to you guys for still being here
for being cognizant of the market and then trying to implement future sets to protect those investors because at the end of the day that's something that really is appreciated I think from all fronts. Now I might put you on the spot here but for any projects in the crowd I
I just want to get some advice from you guys because you obviously have so much data in hand. But if you had to give five tips to successfully launch for any of the projects in the crowd, what were those tips to be? And it doesn't have to be five, but if you have five on hand, love to hear.
Okay, thank you. Of course I can give the tips. What's the thing? Yeah, I think the main tip that came from our experience, our personal experience, and because we launched, you know, maybe the
That has to time of past three years, so take care of your community. They are the only one people generally interested in your success. No one of them, no one instead of them, only community and people
who will go with you, who will use your project, not Flippers, not VentureGap, at least only community will keep you alive. Second, let's remember our approach.
approach to incubation and say that don't develop what has already been developed before. Evaluate development costs, potential risks and compare them with the prices of services and the white labels
solutions. Because you know, of course, one developer mostly is much higher than, let's say, $2,000 for a slightly evil solution of staking or something like that. And just spend your resources to your product. Third tip, let's say,
I mentioned today that there are still a lot of scams from projects, from advisors, from exchanges, and so on. Only algorithms don't scam you. But from time to time something bad happens. So I think 30
would be like work only with trusted counterparties, you know, use service aggregators and trusted advisors only just because they leave me with a lot of projects which
who failed the lounge just because you know their counterparty wasn't good enough let's say four tips let's in four tip let's little bit summarize about if you want
to if you are a project and want to run your ideal, I think you need to remember that ideal now is more about marketing and if you want to use ideal as means to attract investments in the card market consider the following like
a review or a token that makes to create a scarcity of project tokens during listing. Limit the number of ideal platforms to a reasonable amount like three or
for, but not much. And yeah, one ideal platform is not good idea to allocate the Puber fans from the project's budget, now for releasing returns in favor of maintaining the token price over time.
What else? I think of market models for monetizing your projects and the utility of your talking, the trade on utility of your talking, which will reduce the price pressure
on the token rate and the last in this case pay more attention to the product, the bear market increase the market entry requirements but I think it will
still and soon and soon. And last and maybe most important advice that I can give please list on DAX.
is the only way to protect your project and you are talking from, you know, any problems. Just because we saw a lot of problems with taxes, let's say tier two or tier three taxes, which failed project cloud just so it's always better to list on
back to protect from staffing and maybe later least on tax. Yeah, I actually had a good conversation recently with a pretty marquee market maker in the industry and essentially what they said was it's important to have a focused strategy when you
you go to markets. So you want to make sure that you have sufficient liquidity, which is a huge issue for a lot of young projects. It's efficient liquidity on a focus exchange and really build the book and build the treasury. And then as we talked about the model, you know, going to and now, and having a Dex for sure,
because at the end of the day you want to make sure your capital is not withheld. Obviously, these centralized parties like this guy's. I think your points are spot on. When you think about IDO, it's really a marketing ploy and the goal is to basically hook users and nurture them into your project.
have a very rare opportunity to get somebody that otherwise might not be a user right there, a gamer or some sort of subclass of user, etc. Not typically when you see investors go over at least in equity in the real world, so to be able to hook
somebody from an investor to actually being a platform user, that's something that's very rare. And if you can do that in web too via launch pads, via proper marketing, you can build that engaged community. And that is really the best of both worlds. So thank you, hit a lot of those points right on the head, man.
So, let's continue. We have any additional question. Yeah, I think that's pretty much it from our end. I wanted to give a quick point of action for anybody in the community that's building. If you're building it,
ESG, A&Fi. It doesn't matter. You want to help you get to market properly. We have good partners in place that are like-minded, like Roman and the team. And so don't hesitate to reach out to myself or to Roman. And I think Peter also earned an end with some closing words about just a little reward for anybody in the crowd today.
Yeah, thank you so much for stopping by today Roman who's really great to hear your thoughts for Gagarin world and The Gagarin team has actually been kind enough to set up a nice reward for this AMA actually so we guys have any questions We suggest you guys take it to Twitter drop your
questions there and two winners will actually be chosen after this AMA and it will be released on the Gagarin World Twitter. So if all along drop your questions there you guys have any and it's a nice reward. It's a nice juicy reward so you want to make sure you're doing that.
And that's it for us guys. It's been a great show. We hope to have you on again at some point Roman and very looking forward to our partnership together Yeah, we are really glad to announce that now we are partners with towers we
We wait for a lot of promising projects. We really believe that this partnership will bring a lot of profit for both of us for investors, for projects and I think the most important for all of us.
chain because you know, Jeff is an amazing person. He has had a take and help with anything in not only town but in general just because everyone wins if both chain let's say gross and chain
So you know it's really close to our position and thank you all for being here and yeah feel free to ask me something or Jeff or he is an amazing guy you know.
kind words. Actually, I'd love to end this saying, let's go to your member or first call that we were on. Roman actually said, how do you say, let's go and I believe it's fiendamies, correct? And you said, oh, this is one way and this is the other. So maybe we just end
with that and then Peter and me and Peter actually do the same thing in French it's L on Z L on Z but what was it again in Vietnamese?
What is he telling me the first time? This is what I'm saying. Let's go. It's like Dina. Dina. Yeah, Dina. Let's go. Dina. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. I'm not sure that it's correct, but just because it's not
not fluent yet let me speak her but I think it's okay you know awesome man well thanks so much for jumping on any founders in the crowd Dean now we'll see you in telegram yeah see ya thank you very much and bye
