Everybody, we're going to start in a couple of minutes once the guest joins.
Hey guys, thanks for joining. We're going to start in a bit. We're waiting for the guests. So yeah, it shouldn't be long. I mean, probably going to start like in a couple of minutes.
Okay, so Janis, I give you the cohost role, so you should be able to talk. Let me know.
Hey, someone from Raptor Chain. Can you guys hear me? Can you talk?
Janis, can you hear me? Can you talk?
Yeah, I can hear now you have the speaker role. How are you, man? I'm good. I'm good. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good. Awesome. So yeah, I guess we can get started at 230, so we're good.
Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you, Janice, and I know you're too pleasure to have the rest of the community present here today. Yeah, I guess like I'll usually like to start these these AMAs and just to have a bit of a bit more context obviously for people that are joining
I usually start with a bit of a presentation on the get. Can you tell us what is your role in the company and how did you get into crypto? Basically, Ratoch Reiner. It's a project which has a
its own blockchains is now a sun months and it aims to give like an EVM but faster and with lower fees and also cross-chain capabilities and it uses its profits to fund the refresh stations through ecology.
Okay, so it's it's EVM compatible, right? Thanks, well.
It's EVM compatible like the chain itself Yeah, like a blockchain is EVM EVM but with more stuff
Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. Okay, yeah, I mean, when did you start? How did you get started with this project and how many people like work with you on this project?
There are some other guys who are doing marketing stuff, but I'm the only programmer. I didn't find Rapper because I joined as a programmer, which is my main skip.
Okay, cool cool cool. So it's a it's a small team for now. Okay, okay. Do you guys have so I guess like the the blockchain is focused on on ecology like can you tell us a bit more about that?
Basically, we started since the beginning, like even before I take over, to plant trees from ecology. Like we planted over about 15,000 trees, which is a huge forest, like probably bigger than my city.
And we are also starting some contests on Twitter, like you know just picking trash and the ones that get more likes get flattered. So it actually helps getting the word cleaner.
Okay, and you guys like tokenize these actions like on the Raptor chain or what's what's kind of the link with the chain with the blockchain? Basically the point of the blockchain is to have a utility like Being an also to power Raptor token in itself between
Because of when I said additional features, it's like a native bridge with other blockchains, which allows, for example, Raptor and token is bridged also polygon and there is a bridge to phantom and the construction is going
and you released a very soon, a sent-in. Okay. Okay, okay, cool. Yeah, I mean, do you have like main competitors, I guess, like for the moment, or what do you think on that, like other projects?
building something similar. There is a lot of projects that aim to support ecological ecology and blockchain like Solana, but I think we can do better if we work hard on it. It's never too late.
Okay. Okay, make sense. And so you guys only have like, like ecology project or do you have also like normal stuff like deck, there's money market, like other some other apps. Thank you.
I mean working on a decentralized exchange working on the Ratoch chain because since it's even we can be we can be allow creating all tokens over the Ratoch chain which also makes the token sustainable because of
a part like 50% of gas fees are burnt. So there is currently one next on it and there is plans to build more deabs over road coaching. Okay, interesting, interesting. I mean, what do you think of the later
What is DeFi trends in general? What do you think is sustainable? In the long run, you can build the same on Raptor chain.
The biggest problem with current defy is sustainability. The single fact of having a blockchain which is actually earning actual fees from actual transactions occurring on a real blockchain makes us better than like PancakeSwap or
And it's like that because we got something to overcome inflation and to make actual profit actual income. Okay, so can we talk like a bit about the tokenomics I guess of Raptor chain like so I assume like it's not a cap.
a fixed cap kind of coin. So it has like inflation, right? What can you tell us a bit more about that? Yeah, since it's since we started on Ben and March chain as a normal defy app, we got a firm on Ben and March
which is meaning 1.1, Raptot token for rewards like France and Stake and Staking is shadowed around some fronts. So I mean to be exact, one Raptot Perabia C-blocks goes to the France and 0.1
point one goes to the marketing you think from marketing stuff. So that makes an inflation of about 10 million tokens a year which can be overcome with gas fees. So on the long run it's supposed to be about neutral or even running tokens.
Okay. Okay. Very cool. So you guys started as a nap on BNB, is that correct? Yeah.
Okay, and what was the app exactly? Basically, it started as a token. There was not much, just a token and a stocking, like the average 2021 defi platform.
Okay, okay, cool. And then you decided to build your own blockchain basically. Yeah, like it was already planned by the old chiefs and I started working on it in early 2020.
OK, very cool, very cool. Do you guys have plans of growing the team this year on raising funds? What's the status on that?
we're not really considering to raise funds because like it's never gaining funds, it's just like borrowing them and when I mean, personally, I don't want to put Rato in debt.
Okay, yeah, yeah, make sense. You know, if we start going in depth without being sure of getting that money back, it's just another FTX. Yeah, yeah, yeah, agree. Yeah, make sense. Okay. Yeah, can you tell us like so much?
of the main accomplishments of 2022 and looking forward to the next year like 2023. What do you guys have on the roadmap? What can we expect in terms of launches, features?
On 2023, the plan is to expand the bridge to other blockchains, like to increase the interoperability, because for now, as I said earlier, the native bridge only works on polygon, but there is fun time, fun
integration upcoming and over 2023 the plan is to expand to any EVM we can think of. Okay okay super interesting. What yeah I guess like can you tell us a bit more about the
use case of the token like the Ratter Chain token. I assume you need that to obviously run validators but is there like any other kind of utility or use case? Basically it's both validator token
token and the gap token. So if you want to use the retouching, use the bridge, use it for anything, you need to have a little bit of retouch to pay for the guest fees. Okay, so like a normal EVM chain, okay, make
What, so you told us a bit about plans to go like multi-changer like to have bridges to other ecosystems. Yeah, can you tell us a bit more about that? Like is it, are you thinking only of kind of easy and compatible chains?
or maybe like other types of dreams also. From now the native bridge is only made to support other EVM chains because if we want to bridge to Solana it's a fully different technology like the risk is currently bridge to Solana through Warmole but it's not native.
Okay, okay, so okay, so first Solana you guys are using wormhole basically? Wormhole for non-IVM chains like Solana and also aptus it's been a little I've read some tokens and added a few liquidity
on apptiles, but my focus is really on EVM change. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, I mean, how do you plan on growing like next year in terms of the amount of apps that are built on Raptor
chain and teams that want to build stuff. Yeah, how do you approach that? First by with consistency because in early 2022 our market cat was like five times lower than its current levels.
Also with bridging, we aim to reach more partnerships with projects on every chain with Bridgion. Also some events like this AMA is already a way to grow.
because before this AMA, I didn't know you existed and you didn't know Ratoar existed so it's actually a very good way to grow. Now I agree, I agree. It's a good point. What are the other projects that you guys have
pardon with like in the past or yeah like have you done this with with other projects? Like we have partnered with Mobula like I know Mobula devs because we're listed on the platform and also they made the bot bot in our telegram group
that sense of notification on bias gives a good tracking of token data. And also I know the Dwinocoin devs which is a crypto manual by Arduino, but I got a quite long story with it.
And there is actually a RAPTOR do not confirm in our BST form.
But we're open tomorrow. Okay, cool. Yeah, no, it makes sense. I mean, we we've also had kind of the same approach. I mean, for us, we've launched on Solana last year and then we've decided to expand it
the app. So obviously, as you know, we're a payment and payroll, kind of the go-to app for payroll and token management. And yeah, we launched like on Solana last year, and now we've expanded to near and BNB, the reason for this partnership. And
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of the same like I agree it's hard to like bridge from and to Stolana were Using more whole for the the BNB app, but for sure like it's something It's something different and I guess like More complicated also
So yeah. Yeah, like even passing one single byte of data from one chain to another is literally a pain in the ass. Yeah, yeah, I guess like that's why that's why warm hall is the only one kind of doing this. I imagine.
I don't know if players 0 also is kind of doing this bridge but yeah the tech is quite complicated. Especially when you know that, obviously, Sanana had had a lot of troubles lately with the consistency and uptime of the chain.
sometimes they just get down in terms of TPS, but it's scary. Okay, so yeah, it's like do you have, do you guys have any goals or targets in terms of volume or number of users or like key metric for this year or
How do you guys approach that? I have an approach in terms of how does because we currently got about 3,500 all those are all chain combined so the plan is to grow it first to 5,000 then 10,000
I dream of 100K routine market cap but I don't see it as a real goal because I think the whole point of price is a bit, how to say, but outdated like judging the value of something by the price
of a speculative token. Yes, how much is what you're talking about? You're talking like 100 million or 100K? Currently our market cap is about 60,000K, so the plan is first of
100 and no 60,000 then the first milestone will be 100 K then maybe 1 million we're still early okay so how long have you guys been building this cycle since you started on
the NBA hasn't been like a year and a half. It started in 2021. But I took over in late 2021, but it's a complicated story. Yeah, makes sense.
makes sense. It's going to take a long time. Are you looking to hire more devs, given that you're the only one developing this? It seems like a lot of work just for you.
Maybe in the future when we reach a bigger market cap because like 60k is about a one year salary if one iron a full time death. Yeah, that's makes sense. Yeah, and then you know.
Money is not far from the truth. Right. And you haven't thought of getting grants or stuff like that from other ecosystem. For example, it's quite complicated to read.
Yeah, okay cool. Yeah, also I think we can wrap it up here. Unless Janis, you have questions for me or you want to say anything.
Also, I have a question to you, like, do Zbec have a token or an app like I didn't see it in the app? Because maybe we could consider also integrating Zbec in the Rator ecosystem, like in the Rapper form, for example.
Yeah, we do have a token actually. And yeah, it's ZBC and it's native on Solana obviously.
And we have it on on BNB also so right now like it's present both on Salana and BNB and And yeah, I mean we We've launched also on near but for now
now there's no kind of native bridge or there's no ZBC token on here. So that's kind of the status right now. Okay, so I thought we could like maybe add some like Raptor ZC.
trading for us like either a bank X-Wap or on a solid base markets like a region. Sorry, you cut off a kick in your beat. I thought of creating a Raptor/ZC pair like on a bank X-Wap for example.
Yeah, I mean, I think we're present on Pancake swap or maybe on the radio. Since Raptor is also bridged to Solana, both will work. Yeah, that could be possible to look into.
definitely, definitely. And so it like, what's the name of the token on Solana? Is it Raptor? It's Raptor V3 because when I took over, it was the first version of the token on BST.
the Taker is R-P-T-R and it's listed on radium. Okay cool. I mean we can we can talk about it afterwards for sure. Cool. I mean I think we can wrap it up here was amazing we had
like a pretty deep overview of Raptor Chain and what you guys have been building. So I think it was pretty clear for the community and I'm really happy to have you here as a guest. Yeah, I'm sure we'll be able to do
to another round, another AMA, you know, a few months when there's kind of more of it on both sides and you'll be happy to redo this. - Sure.
Awesome. Well, thank you very much to Janis and thanks obviously the community for being here. Yeah, have a very good day to everybody. Thank you very much and thank you to the community too and have a very good day too.
