BlockTalks x GAINS Associates AMA Transcript!
We recently hosted an AMA with GAINS Associates on APRIL 29th at 12 PM UTC. Many of you might have participated, or many of you might not. But we ensure no one misses out on the knowledge shared by Alexandre Raffin, CEO at GAINS. So here we are up with the AMA transcript; for those who missed the live session, this blog post will be a saver & feeder of knowledge for them.
Introduction Questions Asked By Team BlockTalks!
Q1. Could you please introduce GAINS to our community in layman’s terms?
Ans — Alright, so GAINS brings you access to early stage exclusive deals Thanks to us, anyone can invest in private sales or seed rounds of crypto projects I like to say that we’re trying to find the next Bitcoin in the sense of investing early.
GAINS is a decentralized VC. A community of investors.
Q2. What are the advantages of GAINS to the other alternatives in the Blockchain field?
Ans — We have been operating for nearly 6 years now. We have one of the best track records of the industry. Namely, we brought Quant Network, Hashgraph and Avalanche to our community as early stage deals. These projects are now top 50
Bear in mind when GAINers had the opportunity to invest in those, no one knew about them
That’s why early stage investing is both risky and with great upside.
Also, another reason why you can trust GAINS is that our platform is fully audited by the best names in the industry: CertiK, Peckshield and Hacken. #safu ahah
Q3. What are the major milestones GAINS achieved so far & what are in the future pipeline?
Ans — Alex in Bali 🇮🇩 | GAINS | YouMeme, [29-Apr-2023 at 5:37:09 PM]:
Regarding deal flow, two more things: we also brought Bloktopia which peaked at 1,000x and more recently ChainGPT which was the best project launch of 2023 so far
We have launched a token and have a fully automated & audited investment platform. We have one of the most solid track records in the industry. We have interviewed some of the best projects & people like Binance or Andre Cronje from Fantom.
Regarding future milestones: we have a full revamp of our app and landing page coming up. Regulation and a launchpad in the pipeline too.
As well as a few secret deals in the making which I can’t reveal
Questions Asked on Twitter for GAINS Team!!
Q1. Trading Volume of $GAINS is very less at the moment i.e $7.41K , In Coming Times, Where do You see this Volume go in future?
Ans —Good question. We’re currently on Uniswap & PancakeSwap. The volume is organic. There is okay liquidity but it should be improved for sure. At launch the volume was millions per day and I’m sure we’ll get back to these numbers when the market is better
coingecko.com/en/coins/gains for those interested to take a look
Q2. I found that we must acquire and hold a certain number of GAINS Associates tokens (GAINS) in order to join the GAINS Associates tier community and have access to your platform. Please let us know how many of $GAINS that each user is required to retain.
Ans — Right, we have 4 tiers. Let me screenshot our website it will be easier: gains-associates.com
As you can see we have 4 tiers from Fishes to Whales
Starting at 10,000 GAINS staked and up to 200,000
Moving up tiers allows you to invest more, access the private chat of the corresponding tier and sometimes have exclusive deals for the top 2 tiers
Btw, slightly more than 60% of the circulating supply is currently staked which is a great metric we’re proud of
It goes to show that there is real demand and use case for the token
Again, staking enough GAINS to join a tier allows you to access exclusive deals :)
Q3. What is Gains Associates’ approach to artificial intelligence development, any future plan towards that regard? Seeing as how AI technology is all the rave, these days.
Ans — Oh another good question. I wasn’t expecting this one
We’re using ChatGPT4 and GitHub Copilot daily
Our devs have been able to ship good code much faster and ChatGPT4 has been helpful with a variety of other tasks like copywriting, marketing and sales to name a few
We’re also wondering if we should have an AI approach to investing but we’re still testing the waters. There’s a part of intangible that goes into making a decision which is hard to model
Q4. Kindly provide more details on GAINS Associates’ multi-chain functionality & current chains being supported?With the recent trend of L2 solutions, such as Polygon zKEVM, Optimism, Arbitrum, Starknet, will @GainsAssociates expanding its multi-chain functionality to include them?
Ans —We’re supporting the major EVM compatible chains when it comes to token distribution :)
Integrations with layer 2s are good for cross marketing but do not provide a real improvement compared to BSC or Polygon which are already almost free
When it comes to investment, we are definitely looking into these layer 2 and zk plays and recently had a few that I think have a good chance of performing well 🔥
Q5. Regarding the “exclusive community of GAINS associates” is there any other relevant external and direct advantage to the investors of benefit and utility between each of the 4 tiers apart from the percentage of all allocations, such as some early access to certain offers or not?
Ans — You also get to join our “Uniswap Micro Caps” group at 6k GAINS staked which is a group where community members share degen/casino plays :) Very far away from what we do but we all have a degen inside us and some people like to gamble
Staking would also give you the ability to sometimes complete social tasks to receive rewards from projects we do marketing with,Staking would also give you the ability to sometimes complete social tasks to receive rewards from projects we do marketing with.
Questions Asked by our BlockTalks Community Members during live Session to GAINS Team!!
Q1. What steps are being taken towards the future development of Gains ?
Ans — We’re improving daily tbh. What’s motivating is when people tell you they have made good money and were able to pay off their house loan or go on a great family vacation.
The potential with GAINS is huge. If you think about it, there are literally hundreds of millions of people in the world who are interested to invest their money. But they don’t know how to start, they might be scared of scams, etc.
That’s why we’re building to create the best interface and track record to build the most trust and be a place where anyone in the world can join & invest in. Again, regulation will be a key factor to moving up several levels I believe.
Q2. As We Will Move in to the Bull Market, & LAUNCHPADS are Very Popular in these Days Do You think it’s a Great time to Attract more users?
Ans — Right now, you can think of GAINS as a launchpad for early stage deals.
We have a launchpad ready and we’re waiting for the right timing to release it. As you mention, the market for launchpads is much much bigger than for decentralized VCs. We should be able to capture a good chunk of the market and propel GAINS to new heights with the launchpad 💪
Q3. How has GainsAssociates withstood the test of time? and What strategies does the project use to reduce possible losses? also, what are the breakthroughs to support project economics when the market is in the red?
Ans — We have withstood at least 2 big bear markets over the last 5+ years and we’re proud of it. We have been persistent, hard working and did our best to bring value and help the community with the best deals.
We have built a strong and wide network with other VCs, launchpads, influencers and exchanges to be able to both bring the best investment opportunities to our community and support the projects we invest in.
We’re connected to Binance, Polkastarter, DAO Maker and more than 300 KOLs
Q4. Couple Of Months ago, I saw that there are 20% discount in the 4 Tiers that are Available, When will this Discount be live again?
Ans — While there might be future discounts to join tiers, in my opinion the low price of the GAINS token caused by the bear market is already a discount in disguise
Q5. From your profile, I saw that you are also the CEO of #YOUMEME but you are yet to talk about it today. Can you explain a little about YOUMEME, the main idea behind it and how it relate with $GAINS? What are the benefits of being part of it?
Ans — We do pilot another project named YouMeme in parallel of GAINS. There are great synergies between the two.
YouMeme is a web3 social network for memes and one of the things we do is running meme contests for projects.
When we get more users on YouMeme, it will benefit GAINS and all the projects we invest in.
Check out youmeme.com if you need your daily dose of memes!
