Propel AMA Summary Recap with Shin Chan Community
We held a live AMA with CEO, Shivam Chopra from Propel on 3rd December 9:00 PM (UTC+8). Here’s the recap for those who missed it.
Introduction
Elson | Shin Chan: let us welcome Shivam Chopra join with us tonight.
As we know that Propel will have IHO on 07 December, really looking forwards for the launching! hope everyone here no miss the whitelist registration :)
Before AMA start, can you have a brief introduction about Propel team and yourselves?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: I’ve been an IT professional for almost 9 years now. And Engineers, as we all know have a curious mind & are always looking for new method to improve things.
In the midst of my job, I discovered blockchain in 2017. So I started reading about it out of interest. I made a couple of apps. While building, I realized that everyone has to start from scratch when creating Blockchain DApps.
We believe in a minimalist company so we have a small hard working team working towards the growth & success of the project.
Elson | Shin Chan: we also start to know crypto on 2017 🔥
hard work make success 💪
other than upcoming IHO, any latest news / ANN u can sharing with our community before our first section start?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: There are a lot of great things lined up before and after the IDO. But I don’t want to spoil the stuff that the team is working hard on. So I’ll let the events unfold with time itself.
Twitter Section Begins:
Q1. I read that the SaaS Platform will be available soon on the http://propel.xyz website, can you give us a peek at the exact time when the SaaS platform will be available? And also what benefits do you provide for users with the Platform?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: Okay so I’ll answer this in parts.
1.) Its in the roadmap in the coming months(Most probably Feb), but nothing specific yet.
2.) So in SaaS platform we have partnered with a lot of blockchain projects who will start their farms on Propel. It will help users to earn passive income & projects will sustain their token value. So a win win for both the parties.
Q2. Could you tell us a bit about the DeFi plug-n-play solution that Propel will offer? What advantages does it really offer, how will it work and what are its initial limitations?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: So I’ll start this with an example. Lets say you are planning to launch a project today. There are 2 things you can focus on.
1.) Development and growth of actual project idea or
2.) Investing your time, effort & money on DeFi stuff like bridges, staking, farming, investor dashboard etc and then getting them audited.
So there Propel comes into the picture. Propel has already developed these plug n play solutions where projects can directly approach us and get these highly reliable, optimized solutions depolyed in 1–2 days as per their required. These contracts are 100% test covered and audited by multiple industry leaders.
Limitations: Right now we are starting so everything is manual but we are working on automation so that we can reduce the delivery time from 1–2 days to 5–10 minutes.
Few of our partners are already live on app.propel.xyz
Q3. Regulation is critical. Various projects have been halted in many countries due to a failure to follow the proper regulations and obtain the necessary approvals. How does your team handle these difficulties in order to become global?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: I totally agree with this. So the avoid and regulation issues our legal team is making sure all the regulations are met in our home country. But as we provide servies globally so our legal team makes sure that even our partner is following all the regulations as per their country. If any of the partner is not following any regulation then we don’t onboard them.
Q4. staking today is very popular among investors, I know Propel has created a tool called SaaS, so tell us, by using this service, what benefits or opportunities can be created, tell us, how does SaaS make betting simpler?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: So we have different type of staking services under SaaS. I’ll try to give a brief about them.
Single Asset Staking — User deposits token A and is rewarded with token A proportionally to the size of their staked amount.
LP Staking — User deposits LP token(Token A — BNB pair) and is rewarded with token A proportionally to the size of their staked amount.
Time-capped Staking: To ensure whale protection, a user will be allowed maximum tokens capping for a certain period of time to have fair participation.
Basket Rewards Staking: User deposits token A and is rewarded with multiple tokens A, B, C proportionally to the size of their staked amount.
P.S: SaaS is not at all related to betting. We don’t deal in betting in anyway.
Q5. Among the components of Propel Metaverse-as-a-Service (MaaS) is by far one of the most attractive and you are one of the first in the ecosystem to offer it, so can you tell us about it? What kind of tools will you provide to interested projects? Will it be easy to implement?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: Actually thats the most interesting thing we are working on.
So as we are already experts in the field of delivering DeFi Services so it was time to expand our ecosystem to include Metaverse as soo many metaverse companies are coming out there so we wanted to have a solution for everyone.
Our MaaS ecosystem includes:
Smart Verse Contracts
NFT utilities
GameFi
Metaverse’s Core Components
I can go into details of each of them if required but if users want to explore it themselves then we have explained about it in detail on our website propel.xyz
NFT’s are interesting things to work on.
Telegram Live AMA Begins:
Q6. Hackers and Scammers are very much active. Can you please give some information about the Security system of Propel? How safe is Propel especially for long term investors? Do you have an Audit?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: So being a tech guy I always love questions related to security.
So at Propel contracts security is our biggest concern. So we make sure our code has 100% test coverage. Then we have in house tests who tries to break the contract by manual and automated tests and after all that we gets our contracts audited by auditors.
Q7. I noticed in #Propel’s website, in your roadmap by the end of this year 2021 in your Q4 you plan to launch GameFi and I understand that this product is a superior integration of Gaming, DeFi and NFT, but could you expand a little more on that and explain what exactly we will be able to do in GameFi?
Akansha Jain | Propel: GameFi is a superior Gaming, DeFi, and NFT integration. Because Propel has already made a name for itself with its DaaS, we’ve all decided to provide every service linked to DeFi and NFT in GameFi. GameFi uses the project’s own token for player transactions; investors may also buy NFTs in-game and resell them on Marketplace as their value rises.
Q8. Many projects appear to be successful only in their whitepaper and roadmap, but they face various problems when attempting to implement the project’s mission and eventually collapse. How does #Propel overcome every challenge in the development of its project?
Shivam Chopra | Propel: Being from a tech background we have a very strong in house tech team. We are not successful only in our whitepaper but we have delivered too. Checkout our products at app.propel.xyz
Q9. It is very important to comply with the rules and regulations of the country where you do business. In case of incompleteness or non-compliance, unfavorable results are obtained for the projects. How is the Propel team tackling these issues for global expansion?

Q10. Is Propel easy to use for beginners, or are you designing Propel only for experienced/professional users?
