Hello and welcome, everyone! I’m Max, your host for today’s AMA session on UQUID’s platform. We’re thrilled to have you join us for an exciting discussion on “Navigating the Future of Tap To Earn and Blockchain Integration.”

Today, we’re delving into the fascinating world of Tap To Earn models and how they’re being revolutionized through blockchain technology. We have an amazing lineup of speakers from both UQUID and CatGold Miner, who are pioneers in this space.

Representing UQUID, we have Ms. Lola from the Business Development Team. And joining us from CatGold Miner, we have Kevin, who will be sharing insights into their innovative approaches and plans.

Lola and Kevin, would you like to say a quick hello to our listeners?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

So, hello everybody joining today. My name is Kevin. I’m the co-founder and also CEO of Cat Gold Miner. I’m very excited to be here with you and with Uquid as our host.

Max (host)

Great. Lola, it’s your turn.

Lola (UQUID)

Yeah, sure. So, hello everyone. My name is Lola and I’m from the BD team of Uquid.

And I’m very excited to be here with Kevin and Max, sharing with you guys some of the few things that we have done recently. And yeah, very looking forward to this AMA. Thank you.

Max (host)

Thank you, Lola, and Kevin, for the warm greetings. Let’s dive right into our discussion.

Our first question is for Kevin from Cat Gold Miner. Kevin, could you share an overview of Cat Gold Miner, including its main features, the inspiration behind its creation, and the significant milestones or achievements the project has reached recently?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

Yes, of course. So, let me do a quick introduction to Cat Gold Miner. So, Cat Gold Miner is a game to airdrop platform and also a community builder on the Ton ecosystem.

So, our game is similar to an idle game in which you can hire your miners, hire your managers, and improve your productivity. And as long as you improve your productivity, you get the gold, which helps you to climb the leaderboard and get the rewards. The game is very simple, but it’s also very attractive, and very engaging, where you can use the boosters and the correct managers to speed up your activities.

And we have recently achieved a lot of achievements. Recently, we have been the top one on the Ton hackathons. We also accumulated 6.5 million active users in the game. We have 1.2 million subscribers on our Telegram channel as well. So, yeah, if you haven’t played it, just try it out after this AMA and let us know your opinions.

Max (host)

Thank you, [Kevin], for that insightful overview of Cat Gold Miner. It’s exciting to hear about your journey and achievements.

Now, let’s turn our attention to UQUID. Lola, could you discuss UQUID’s recent achievements, particularly in product launches and partnerships that have helped expand its ecosystem?

Lola (UQUID)

Thank you, Max. I’m excited to share some of our recent achievements at UQUID.

First, we’ve launched the 1 USD₮ Store in partnership with Tether. This innovative store allows users to purchase a wide variety of products using USD₮, a stablecoin tied to the US dollar. The store offers both digital and physical goods, including game cards, gift cards, and fashion accessories, all at around 1 USD₮. We’ve designed the platform to be user-friendly, making it accessible even to those new to cryptocurrency.

The 1 USD₮ Store stands out with its fast and seamless transactions, leveraging blockchain technology to eliminate delays and reduce costs. We’ve integrated multiple payment options, including Binance Pay, Gate Pay, Crypto.com Pay, and support for several blockchain networks like ERC20, Polygon, TON Network, and TRON. This broad range of options ensures that users can easily find a convenient payment method. Additionally, we offer minimal transaction fees, making the store an affordable option for a wide audience.

We’ve also integrated our store with Telegram, utilizing the app’s vast user base to provide a seamless shopping experience. Users can shop directly via the @shop1USD₮_bot on Telegram or through our website at 1USD₮ Store, offering flexibility and convenience.

Moreover, we’ve introduced engaging features like Mystery Boxes and Lucky Spin, which add a fun, gamified element to shopping. These features offer users the chance to win prizes, making the shopping experience more enjoyable.

Alongside these developments, we’ve launched the UQUID Bot on Telegram, allowing users to browse products, track orders, and make purchases directly within the app. This feature streamlines the shopping experience, making it more convenient for our users.

We also launched a service for SSS dues payment, enabling Social Security System members in the Philippines to manage their contributions using USDt on the TON blockchain. This feature provides a modern and efficient way for users to handle their payments.

Lastly, we recently introduced a feature that allows users in Argentina to top up their SUBE public transport cards using USDT on the TRON network. This service offers a fast and convenient solution for managing public transportation expenses, marking a significant step in integrating cryptocurrency into everyday life.

We’re proud of these achievements and are committed to continuing to innovate, making cryptocurrency more accessible and useful in daily transactions.

Max (host)

Thank you, Lola, for sharing those impressive updates from UQUID. It’s great to see how much progress has been made.

Now, let’s shift our focus to CatGold Miner. As a leading Tap To Earn project, [Kevin], how does CatGold Miner view the integration of the TON blockchain in enhancing the Tap To Earn model, and what advantages does this technology bring to the table?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

Yes, of course. So let’s say the most beneficial that when we launch Cat Gold Miner on Ton blockchain, would be Telegram itself. As you know, Telegram has a lot of users.

It’s more like 1 billion users and it is spread across the globe. That’s why when we launch Telegram mini-apps, Cat Gold Miner as a Telegram mini-app, we can reach a lot of users as fast as we can. And in fact, we actually achieved 6 million users in just over one month.

That is a huge achievement in terms of viability if we go with traditional methods. Also, we think that Telegram also provides a lot of good payment systems which that is TonConnect and WalletPay, which will help us make the payment as fast as we can and also integrate the credit card with the Telegram stars. You can also purchase products in-app purchase inside Cat Gold Miner in a very fast way and effective way.

So we think that is a plus in the Web3 environment before because compared to the previous type of Web3 environment, we have to integrate the Wallet directly. We have to host another app and people have to go to the website to do it. Now, people can just go directly on Telegram, just open the bot and they can come play the game, they can go get the airdrop, they can interact with the smart contract like doing check-ins, get rewards and they can purchase stuff directly.

That is a lot of fun nodes, a lot of attractions and help people, you know, get to know the games get to know the ecosystem as fast as they can.

Max (host)

Thank you, Kevin, for that insightful explanation about the integration of the TON blockchain in CatGold Miner. It’s fascinating to see how technology can enhance gaming experiences.

Now, let’s delve into the sustainability aspect of Tap To Earn models. [Kevin], what is CatGold Miner’s perspective on the sustainability of Tap To Earn models in the long term, particularly in terms of player retention and reward systems?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

Yes, so you see, in the beginning, the Tap To Earn model is for us, as game makers, it doesn’t make any sense. You just tap and you get the token. So for us as game makers, what we are looking for when we create Cat Gold Miner is that we create a story, we create a game in which it’s more addictive, has more engagement, where you can also play with your friends, you can also enjoy the game with yourself.

And so that would help us a lot in the game sustainability because if you get a lot of users but they get bored very fast, then they leave you. So that would not be a very healthy way to grow the communities, like very soon enough people will abandon your communities, people will leave and they’re not going to hear from you again. So that is not the way that we do.

What we aim to do is to create a long-lasting community in which the players can also play the game, enjoy the game, play the game with other communities, with their friends, and also get the airdrops weekly. Now we have the weekly airdrops in which players can participate and get the raffles. There are also our partners with a lot of partners who also want to reach out to the users that will get them to sponsor the airdrops.

So our participants get a lot of benefits from that, that they can also explore the ecosystem, from Wave3 ecosystem, the Town ecosystem, and get the reward at the same time. And also in the future, we also build a lot of ambassador programs in which we also have community builders like community owners, like KOLs who have 1,000 or 2,000 subscribers in the channels. We will help them to get attention from people and get the ambassador program in which we help them to routinely boost their channels in our game.

So when the new users get into the game, they will get to choose whether they want to explore this channel. They can choose to join eClub and then explore the channels. And they can actually join in that channel to get benefits.

So that would also help to build the communities and we can stick together. And with that, we think that as the communities stick more together, as we grow together, we’ll be sure that we can make the whole thing last longer, last sustainable, and also create a lot of great things together.

Max (host)

Thank you, [Kevin], for sharing CatGold Miner’s insights on sustainability in Tap To Earn models. It’s crucial to understand how these models can be maintained effectively over the long term.

Now, let’s look at the broader trends in the industry. Kevin, from your vantage point, what are the key trends and innovations emerging in the Tap To Earn sector, and how is CatGold Miner positioning itself to lead in this evolving landscape?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

Yeah, so as I just previously explained, the Tap to Earn was like two months ago, when you see NotCoin the way that they do is they only tap, and then that’s it. They tap and referrals your friends you get the bonus and then you refer your friends you tap and you get referrals. So that would be the end of NotCoin and after that they list it and that’s it for them. But as the whole ecosystem, the whole game fight grows the Tap To Earn project is going to die slowly and it’s slowly to keep room for more engaging addictive games that the people can actually stay longer like us.

And for us, for the Cat Gold Miner team, we think that we are also one of the leading projects that have started the trend that we make the games with people staying with us and they enjoyed it and actually played it like a game. It’s not just a mining machine, it’s a game so people can play, people can share, hang out within the game, can chat with each other in the chat. And so we think that in the future, near future very soon, all of the games going to have more engaging stories. People are going to play longer, people are going to potentially spend money to unlock stories. And like playing games, you will want to purchase some stuff that you want to improve your scores in the game or maybe to have a better experience when playing the games like having nice skins, having a beautiful outfit something like that.

So we are sure that it’s going to be the next trend for the Telegram mini apps games and Cat Gold Miner is actually the first one of the first projects that leading this trend.

Max (host)

Thank you, [Kevin], for those insights into the trends and innovations in the Tap To Earn sector. It’s an exciting time for this space, with so many new developments.

Now, turning our attention back to UQUID, Lola, could you share what specific actions UQUID has taken to attract and engage users interested in the Tap To Earn trend? How are you positioning your platform to cater to this growing demographic?

Lola (UQUID)

Thank you, Max. At UQUID, we’ve been actively engaging with the Tap To Earn community by collaborating with top projects in this space, including CatGold Miner. These partnerships not only bring attention to UQUID but also provide users with exciting opportunities to engage in rewarding activities.

To enhance user engagement, we’ve integrated the 1 USD₮ Store into several Tap To Earn games. This store features engaging gamification elements like the Lucky Spin, which offers a prize pool of up to 30,000 USD₮, and Mystery Boxes priced at 1 USD₮ with potential rewards of up to 100 USD₮. These features are designed to attract Tap To Earn users and encourage them to explore the offerings of the 1 USD₮ Store.

Additionally, we’ve launched several new features to further engage our users. Our Referral and Mission Systems are key components of this strategy. The Daily Spin feature allows users to claim a free spin each day, with rewards up to $11. This spin refreshes every 24 hours, keeping users consistently engaged. The Purchase to Spin System rewards users with a premium spin, with potential rewards up to $111, for every purchase made at UQUID or the 1 USD₮ Store. This incentivizes users to shop more frequently on our platform.

The Tap-to-Earn Missions allow users to complete tasks for various rewards, including points and free spins. Additionally, our Invite Friend Feature encourages users to invite friends to join the bot, offering 10 points for each successful referral and an extra normal spin if the friend uses the spin feature.

These initiatives are part of our ongoing effort to make the UQUID platform more engaging and rewarding, catering specifically to the interests of Tap To Earn users. We believe these features not only enhance user experience but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of our community in this dynamic sector.

Max (host)

Thank you, Lola, for detailing UQUID’s efforts to engage the Tap To Earn community. It’s impressive to see how you’re leveraging these features to enhance user experience.

Now, let’s look ahead at what’s next. This question is for both UQUID and CatGold Miner. Kevin], starting with you, could you share what special events or campaigns users can expect from the collaboration between UQUID and CatGold Miner? Are there any specific initiatives planned to enhance user engagement and experience?

Kevin (Cat Gold Miner)

Yes, of course. So from the collaboration with UQUID, we already did the cross-quest collaboration in which we can also introduce UQUID to our users and UQUID can introduce their users to Cat Gold Miner.

We think the next step that we can do more on the partnership would be like selling in-game coins in the UQUID shop for example, and also on our side on Cat Gold Miner. We can also share the latest campaign from UQUID like if there’s some special promotion or exclusive promotion. For example, going to be a big sale or something else we can also share it with our users so our users will be the first ones to be able to see it and they will get the benefit from the discount that they’ll be able to obtain the item with a cheaper cost so that would be very beneficial for our users as well.

So I think that shortly we’re going to be a lot of collaboration and sharing more about the let’s say exclusive offers, more campaigns and maybe we can talk about our own games in-app purchase as well I think there will be a lot of room for us to do more partnership Yeah, that’s very cool.

Max (host)

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing those exciting updates from CatGold Miner. It sounds like there’s a lot for users to look forward to.

Lola, turning to you now, what can UQUID add about upcoming events or campaigns from this collaboration? How are you planning to further engage users and enhance their experience?

Lola (UQUID)

Thank you, Max, and Kevin from CatGold Miner, for sharing those exciting updates. As for UQUID, I have to say it’s a bit tricky to share all the details right now but rest assured, we’re working on a variety of plans to strengthen our collaboration with CatGold Miner.

We could be looking at a mini-game that integrates elements from both platforms, offering users unique rewards and experiences. Or perhaps we have some creative marketing activities in the pipeline to engage our community even further.

While I can’t reveal too much at this stage, I can promise that our users will be pleasantly surprised when these initiatives are announced. We’re excited about the potential of this collaboration and eager to bring these ideas to life, enhancing the experience for everyone involved. Stay tuned for more details!

Max (host)
