@Univers_CMO are you there?
Peter Nguyen
@LordAlfred Absolutely! Thanks for having me!
Alfred
We welcome everyone to join us at this prestigious AMA event with Univers
How are you?
Peter Nguyen
Excellent! Happy to be here in your AMA community
Alfred
Well, what do you think if we start with the AMA
Introductory questions
Q1. Can you provide a brief introduction to the core team behind Univers?
Peter Nguyen
Sure! Team is one of the most important elements of Univers
My name is Peter Nguyen, and I am the Chief Marketing Officer here at Univers: The Metaverse Network. I have over ten years of experience in traditional marketing where I spent time working on digital, social and experiential marketing with companies such as Nike, Coca Cola, and Spotify.
I spent the past several years working within the blockchain space where I was a CMO for a previous company based out of Canada and also was the CMO for a Crypto VC Firm where I was able to incubate and provide marketing support for over 100+ different projects.
Alfred
excellent!
Peter Nguyen
That’s a little about me but I’ll give some details on the rest of our team now
The Univers Team has over 30+ years of experience in AAA Game Development and Creation, VR and AR Technologies, Film & Television Production and has a staff of over 150+ employees including 50 Developers across Berlin, Los Angeles, Paris & Warsaw.
The team has developed AAA Games which have been released on Steam, Oculus, HTC Vive, and Windows Mixed Reality. Extensive experience working with Google, Microsoft, Ubisoft and Balenciaga.
Previous team projects include Brave Frontier from the major game studio Gumi. This received an average of 4.5 rating from 700K users on the Google Store and Apple Store and has over 10M+ downloads.
Alfred
50 Developers wow
Q2. What potential does your native token have and what are its different use cases?
Peter Nguyen
The $VRS token serves as both the Utility & Governance token for Univers.
$VRS is designed to put power into the hands of the Univers community and empower every type of network user from players to developers and content creators.
The $VRS token provides the ultimate form of governance by allowing the Univers community to decide upon the fate of Avalon. Token holders can vote on pivotal ecosystem developments and other major initiatives within the world of Avalon. For example, token holders can decide which districts they would like the Univers developers to focus on. Similarly, over time token holders will also gain the power to vote on the removal of major districts.
Within Avalon, $VRS serves as the utility token and will be used as the main form of payment thereby encouraging the trading of assets and discovery of new experiences. Additionally, $VRS can be used as a payment method at our LBE locations powered by Orbis.
A little more about the token
I know that’s a lot of info
The Univers community comprises the majority of our stakeholders and decision makers, and thus steer the ultimate direction of the network and all of the products within, (including Avalon and the Game Auctions).
LAST THING $VRS network validators will need to stake $VRS in order to participate in the Univers Game Auctions. This is a unique opportunity to decide which new independent game is onboarded to the Univers Network. The network validators are equally rewarded with newly issued $VRS as well as shared revenue from the new ecosystem game which will be delivered within the Univers Network.
Alfred
Thanks for that detailed explanation
Peter Nguyen
My pleasure! Just want to make sure your community understands it fully :D
Alfred
Q3. Can you talk a bit about your prospects and how they will benefit from your products and services?
Peter Nguyen
The Univers SDK is a collection of software development tools that allow game creators to develop virtual experiences, games, and applications easier and faster, even if they have no extensive knowledge of blockchain technology.
Our SDK is designed to accommodate all skill levels to ensure we can truly unleash user creativity. Univers’ openness and desire to truly elevate all types of users is a very unique feature.
Our first product, Avalon, is another incredible and unique Univers feature! Avalon is the gateway to the metaverse and the realization of our ambitions! Avalon will be the community hub where users can enter via any of the mixed realities and explore ways to play and earn, including a live PVP-Arena, Marketplace, Live Event Spaces and Concerts.
It allows users to not only meet and socialize within an immersive experience, but then directly access any other virtual experience connected to our network. It is both extremely engaging and amazingly convenient!
Alfred
Q4. What is that milestone at Univers that you are most proud to achieve?
Peter Nguyen
Our long term goal is blockchain agnosticism, meaning we plan to truly champion interoperability between virtual experiences. This is going to take a while because it’s intricate and has many challenges but we’re committed. Achieving this goal would be a huge accomplishment
Alfred
Q5. What plans does Univers have for this 2022?
Peter Nguyen
Lots of exciting things on the roadmap but here are some of our key milestones
Key Milestones for 2022:
Q2: Major NFT Airdrop Campaign & Univers SDK Scaling for Developers
Q3: MVP Launch Party (Exclusive In-Person & Remote Conference)
Q4: Univers Network Launch
We announced the winners for our airdrop campaign last week and each week we are now hosting our own community discussions on our discord called, “Founder’s Corner”.
I also have one exclusive announcement if you’d like to hear it?
So in the next month we will actually start hosting a special Women in Crypto’s segment on our discord. These converstations will be to highlight women in the industry and talk about other cool metaverse and blockchain related subject. If any of you know a woman whose voice you think should be amplified in the industry, shoot us a message!
Alfred
thanks for that announcement!… surely you will receive some message from this community
Peter Nguyen
we really want to highlight people’s voices that are sometimes not heard enough in the industry
Alfred
Thanks for your answers, we just finished the segment of:
Introductory questions
We move on to the segment of:
Twitter questions
@Bnetrap
your project announced via Twitter that the Univers Network will connect virtual worlds into one incredible network. What important aspects does this network have in the metaverse and how will this connection work?
Peter Nguyen
We’ve gone through a little of our utility today in the first segment but the main things you should know about Univers is we aren’t just one project trying to dominate the industry.
We are building a NETWORK.
Our goal is to connect all metaverse experiences and champion freedom, autonomy, and true decentralization. That will be accomplished through innovative technology and a strong and passionate community.
@PerejilCZ
I read that Univers uses a unique dual token economy: $VRS (government token) and $SATOSHI (utility token). But what is the basis of the economy of the universe? Is your economy really stable in the long run? What are the differences between the token
$VRS and $SATOSHI?
Peter Nguyen
We’ve actually moved to a single token economy, $VRS. Utility is mentioned above haha so I won’t get into that again ;). In terms of long term stability, we are a project with clearly defined milestones and vetrans in the tech industry. We know how to be resilient when market conditions are unfavourable and thrive against the odds.
@meml1997
One of Univers’ products is something called “Univers Consumer Events (UCE)”, can you give us more details about it? How does UCE really work to function as a portal between the real world and the metaverse? What are some of UCE’s use cases?
What benefits does it bring to users?
Peter Nguyen
Our UCE’s are a really cool feature
We’ll be releasing more details soon but I want to answer some of this questions because it’s a featureI’m passionate about
The way the UCE functions as a portal between the real world and the metaverse is, these events occur in live locations where users cna actually link up and socialize in person, but have access to all of their assets via VR
You will also be able to use your $VRS to pay for food/drinks and services offered in the locations
We’ve partnered with Orbis and have access to all of their physical locations across Europe!
all that said…
More details to come!
@arbestefy
How does Univers stand out in interoperability, security, scalability? What does it contribute to make a crypto future more comforting?
Peter Nguyen
We believe in order for crypto to truly thrive it needs more interoperability without corporate giants controlling and dominating the space. As we build we will utilize a DAO to help with HIGH IMPACT decisions. This means our community can take comfort in knowing Univers is a space built by the people for the people
@MaxiVV05
Avalon sounds very promising. But, how can a normal user to asset to this space? How can i be an Avalonian? And, most important, what are your reasons to see that Avalon is the gateway to the metaverse?
Peter Nguyen
We’ll be releasing more deets on Avalon in the near future but I’ll answer part of that question. Avalon functions as the gateway to the metaverse by being a virtual experience itself. Any user may go to Avalon and immerse themselves in this creative community hub and then use the space as a gateway to any other experience connected to the metaverse network
Think of it as a sort of Grand Central Station
where it is a gorgeous place in and of itse’f with tons of opportunity for exploration and connection
but also extremely convenient for its ability to let you traverse into any experience quickly and easily
Alfred
We just finished the segment of:
Twitter questions
Now we move on to the segment of:
Live questions
@Victor
The Metaverse concept is always associated with VR, Augmented Reality and the equipment needed to fully experience it such as it could be VR headsets. So, I couldn’t help but wonder, how will users be able to experience Univers? Will they need that kind of equitment for it?
Peter Nguyen
This is a great question Victor.
So our network will be available in AR, VR and from 2D interfaces. That means as long as you have some sort of mobile device, you can access our experience. If you have VR you can explore in 3D. If you don’t have the equipment but want to experience it is VR you will be able to go to one of our Orbis locations in the future and link in from there.
@K.M
I read that the mission of Univers is to allow anyone to freely live and monetize assets, but will they really offer products that allow us to easily monetize any user, even if they are inexperienced in the crypto space?
Peter Nguyen
Yes. Although we do not yet have tutorials, our ecosystem will be as connected as possible but simplified in terms of ease of use. We want our users to be able to create, make money, connect with as few barriers possible.
@NAI-L
If you had to summarize the most important things about #UNIVERS and get people excited to join your community, what would you name the most important, and what would you say to investors to get their attention?
Peter Nguyen
The most important thing about Univers is that we are committed to long term growth where everyone contributes and all voices are heard. We will not allow corporate giants to control our community. Our community will dictate our growth and direction.
@Keymer
I read that Avalon is the gateway to all of Univers’s integrated or networked experiences, but is Avalon really the name of its technology, the name of the app, or is it the name of the metaverse?
Peter Nguyen
Awesome question! Avalon is the name of the metaverse location where our users may visit to access all other experiences connected to the network.
@Michell
What requirements must a woman with knowledge in cryptocurrencies and the Metaverse meet? Why does a woman, and everyone alike, have a link in some way?
¿Que requisitos debe cumplir una mujer con conocimientos en criptomonedas y Metaverso ?¿Porque una mujer y todo todos por igual , tiene enlace de algún form?
Peter Nguyen
Although there are many knowledgeable women in the blockchain, tech and gaming industries, this space is saturated with male voices, thereby drowning out the valuable voices, experiences and knowledge of women. We believe women are the pillers of society and making sure their input is properly considered and amplified will improve all of these industries.
We can’t wait to start hosting some of these incredible women in our own space
Thanks for all of these questions Legacy family
Alfred
Thank you very much for sharing your successful project with our community, we will be waiting for the news and milestones of your project!
