UpOnly AMA Summary Recap with Shin Chan Community
We held a live AMA on Thursday 09:00 PM (UTC+8), 7th April with CEO, TOP. Here’s the recap for those who missed it.
Introduction
JH | ShinChan: Before the ama start, can you please introduce yourself and the team background to our community?
TOP: Absolutely. I’m Top, the CEO of UpOnly. It’s a pleasure to be here today to share insights about UpOnly and what we’ve been building. For some background, I’ve been involved with blockchain since the early Enterprise Ethereum days, helping local enterprises adopt blockchain solutions for their businesses.
Interestingly, the UpOnly team is an amazing group of developers and builders with diverse experience in marketing, data analytics, gaming, and blockchain. A combination of all this expertise is necessary to what we’re building at UpOnly and we’re continuing to scale the team as we integrate more functionalities into the platform. As data is our primary focus, we invest on gathering top analysts, researchers and blockchain specialists.
JH | ShinChan: great to know that, and thank you for the introduction 💯
Can you briefly introduce what UpOnly is all about? And is there any news would like to share with us?
TOP: Certainly. UpOnly ($UPO) is listing on KuCoin today, April 7, marking another critical step in our progress. https://www.kucoin.com/trade/UPO-USDT
Our mainnet release is also scheduled for later this month and will give our awesome community a glimpse of the amazing product we have been building. We’re extremely excited for the next few weeks and invite members of Shin Chan community to check us out!
The UpOnly platform is a one-stop data directory for gamers and investors seeking insightful data about play-to-earn blockchain games, as well as Metaverse projects.
For instance, it is currently impossible to keep track of new projects entering this space and find out information about how much it costs to start playing a blockchain game or how profitable their venture will be. Same challenge with investors seeking to purchase land in the Metaverse and wondering about the best places to begin. UpOnly addresses these problems and much more by delivering concise data about this emerging space.
We also go beyond being data directory for P2E and metaverse projects. We offer voting and predictions features for gamers and investors to engage, contribute and earn on our platform.
Twitter Section Begins:
Q1: As we know we have many #play2earn #metaverse projects launching on different platforms. How are you going to integrate with all of them and filter the data? I mean is it correct to say #UpOnly is a oracle of play2earn #metaverse ?
TOP: You can definitely describe UpOnly as a Play-to-Earn and Metaverse oracle because of our focus on curating and streaming real-time on-chain data from projects. Our integration and data filtering process is relatively simple. Our solution includes an API integration for projects to stream in-game data on our platform. We also harness publicly available data on the blockchain about these games and present them in a way that users can look at and use them as a basis to choose the best games to play or the best Metaverse lands to acquire. Think of us as Coinmarketcap for metaverse and P2E. We are your #gameficompass!
Q2: How does UpOnly manage to be a fast-growing data and analytics platform?
How much revenue has UpOnly spent on addressing the critical gap in the market and infrastructure that will enable its growing audience to bet on it?
TOP: UpOnly is continuing to grow its data and analytics platform through strategic partnerships with existing and upcoming play-to-earn and metaverse projects across different platforms. UpOnly provides significant advantages to projects, including exposure to our large audience and helping projects promote transparency. Hence, projects have additional incentives to want to get listed on UpOnly, further expanding our data coverage and user base.
Regarding the second part of the question, our community can rest assured that we’ve invested significant resources (including funds) into researching existing data platforms and their offerings. We identified key market gaps such as poor data representation, incomplete data coverage, and poor user experience. Our platform will direct these gaps and deliver immense value to our users.
We also focus on developing features that will offer users ways to participate and earn $UPO.
For example, users can vote on different aspects of a project such as roadmap, tokenomics so project owners can improve such angle. Fellow uses will also gain benefit from seeing insights. Top contributors have a chance to win $UPO.
It’s a data-driven, user-fueled platform.
Q3: Handling a directory with all of the blockchain’s P2E games necessitates a huge servers! Could you explain us if this data will be managed and protected by an oracle? What kind of technologies are you going to utilize to keep it secure?
TOP: UpOnly utilizes a reliable cloud deployment process for its data systems. This fulfills all our current server demands and ensures that data is served to users in a timely manner. We also use chainlink and our experienced devops team ensure highest level security and integration.
Q4: According to what I’ve noticed, UpOnly’s goal is to not only promote your program, but also to inform the community about P2E initiatives & intriguing metaverses. So, can you discuss why they’re working on this objective? Is it their goal to teach the crypto/non crypto societies?
TOP: Agree! Also, a significant portion of data streamed on UpOnly will already be publicly available on the blockchain and does not require sophisticated security systems. We ensure data on UpOnly is accurate, fast and secure!
At UpOnly we believe that play-to-earn blockchain gaming and metaverse environments represent the next generation of online gaming and social engagement. Hence, one of our missions is to spread wholesome knowledge about the industry and help educate both crypto and non-crypto native societies.
At the same time, we recognize that doing so will attract significant investment and mainstream involvement into the space. We are only excited about what the future holds and look forward to being here for a very very long time.
Crypto newcomers often feel overwhelmed with information. It’s challenging to find unbiased, verified information. UpOnly addresses this pain point.
We are the first gateway to all things metaverse and P2E!
Q5: The results of inaccurate data being shown on the system also have an impact on the game’s overall score. Coinmarketcap’s pricing data is now incorrect, leading crypto investors to assume that their token is increasing in value. So, what are the thoughts of UpOnly on the subject?
TOP: We understand from project owner point of view that it can be time consuming to update data. We then offer a solution for projects to update their infformation so users and investors receive updates instantly. Timing is key in the crypto space! UpOnly will strive to set and maintain the highest standards for serving accurate data on its platform. Users can absolutely count on every piece of data on UpOnly and use it as a basis to make profitable investment choices.
