[DAO:d0c373f] Building a Web3 Esports Epicentre in Decentraland

[LeonardC]

Hi Revocation Committee, thank you for your prompt feedback. Here’s our response to the questions raised from your end.

1. Clarification on Current Project Model:

• Our project model has remained unchanged thus far. We aim to establish a Web3 gaming and esports hub within Decentraland to regularly host events and attract external Web3 games and gaming communities, thereby bringing new traffic and projects to Decentraland.

  
  

• The raffle system questioned by @Zino is merely one aspect of our broader engagement strategy, intended to boost user interaction. Additionally, the term ‘predict-to-earn’ (競猜獎勵) used in Chinese doesn’t imply any association with betting; it was a linguistic oversight on our part, which we clarified from the outset that our model doesn’t involve any betting activities

  

2. Measures to Avoid Botting/User Security:

• Here’s our proposed flow/measures to avoid botting in the raffle system (which does not involve any betting or gambling activities/behaviors - users simply need to select/guess an answer without the need to bet any of their capital).

  1. Users temporarily stake 1 $MANA token in a smart contract to prevent bot attacks and verify human participation.
  2. They then answer event-related questions or make predictions regarding esports outcomes.
  3. Correct responses automatically enter users into the raffle for a chance to win prizes sponsored by our Web3 gaming partners.
  4. After the event, users can withdraw their staked $MANA from the smart contract.
  
  • The above flow has been explained clearly to @Zino in our last call and we’ve also addressed concerns raised by @Zino regarding security by engaging a third-party HK smart contract audit company to review our contract. We’ve also suggested alternatives, such as screening participants’ wallets for $MANA holdings instead of requiring staking, to alleviate concerns about the staking mechanism.

3. Proof of Code Compliance with DCL Security Team Expectations:

• The smart contract code can be found at this address: StakingRewards | Address 0x638ED49981eE49064225029Fc5029914BF160CFc | PolygonScan

• We’ve undergone a smart contract audit conducted by a third-party company, and the audit report is available here: StakingRewards - CyphaLab Contract Audit (1).pdf - Google Drive

  We’ve taken proactive steps to ensure compliance with the security expectations of the DCL security team.

4. Explanation of Marketing Plan and Visitor Acquisition:

   • Our marketing strategy involves collaboration with 4-8 Web3 games for each event, encouraging them to promote and sponsor the event. These games will share our event posts, sponsor in-game NFT items/tokens as prizes, and attract their community members to participate
   
   • Additionally, we’ll partner with Web3 gaming communities and influencers in Chinese and LATAM regions, who will translate event materials and share them on social media channels such as Twitter, Discord, Youtube and so on
   
   • Furthermore, our extensive community network, including 60k+ Twitter followers, 13k+ Discord members, 5k+ WeChat group members, and 2k+ QQ group members, will help spread event information
   
   • Through these efforts, we anticipate reaching an average of 2000 visitors per event

5. Clarity on Purchasing Prizes and Shipping Costs:
   The term ‘prizes’ refers to virtual goods such as NFTs, tokens, or whitelists sponsored by our network of partnered games. These prizes do not involve any purchasing or shipping procedures/costs, as they are digital assets distributed electronically. We’ve clarified this misunderstanding to @Zino during our previous meeting.

Let me know if you need further clarification or assistance with anything else!
