Lokesh Rao: Yes, cool.
Twitter Questions.
First question from Twitter
Trace network presents itself as one of the greatest offer to develop your company being an Enterprise DeFi Protocol, from the economic and visionary point of view why did you decide to base it on NFT ? how can this exploit the higher performance for the future within DEFI ?
From @Romadel33
Lokesh Rao: NFTs are most apt solution to take applications of Blockchain and DLT technology beyond defi and basic tokenization. So take it this way, what mobile + internet changed our lives and increased the adoption of internet into our day to day life. Similarly, we see NFTs to play a catalyst role in increasing adoption of Blockchain tech in our daily life. Trace Network NFTs are based on real world consumer goods and other consumer focused initiatives for enabling brands and consumer focused businesses to interact with their customers better. Going further, these customers will be able to participate in financing of products of their favourite brand via defi for production of goods that they will own not just physically, but even digitally.
Second question from Twitter
DEFI is growing too fast and the likelihood of it being disrupted is very high. What do you think about this? Can you be sure that TRACE products will be in demand in the long term? What plans does Trace Network have to contribute to DeFi’s development?
From @john_labby
Lokesh Rao: Defi in future is going to work on more and more real world usages. Even today Trace potential market require funds for which they follow a cumbersome , expensive and slow mode to get it from existing financial institutions. Trace would be aggregated liquidity provider for these business in collaboration with the defi protocols like Easyfi ,Aave etc. And, the onchain data would act a premise to lend these funds to the business.
Third question from twitter
Much of the recent conversation and sensation surrounding the NFT has focused on digital art or licensed collectibles, where pure scarcity is a major selling point. But what do you personally see as some of the most compelling applications and use cases for NFT technology?
From @MikhaVelora
Lokesh Rao: Some of the simplest of use cases of NFTs of trace network for brands are digital ownership transfer of goods, linked to this brands will be able to offer various value added services to their customers like warranty, better incentives for upgrades. Rewards for loyal users etc. Many more use cases, which actually these businesses will discover more than us as we go along the journey with them as a technology protocol built with a vision to redefine the consumer connect for brands with the help of NFTs , DLT and Defi.
Fourth question from Twitter
Trace uses a white label algorithmic for stable coin. How effective has this model been in preventing the depreciation of tokens or digital coins over time? Is this method better than building a stablecoin leveraged by USD or EUR? What kind of technology does this model have?
From @TheShadowJK_1
Lokesh Rao: The volatility and appreciation in trace token price reduces the continuous injection for funds to be used as collateral for underlying stable coins being issued.
Fifth question from Twitter
Can you list 1–3 killer features of Your Project that makes it ahead of its competitors? What is the competitive advantage your platform has that you feel most confident about?
From @Rafi2758
Lokesh Rao: TRACE is offering solutions for end to end process chain of the brands from community building to enabling blazing fast working capital financing. In fact trace is all about 3 components, Merchandise NFT + Integrated data exchange + Enterprise Defi. We are passionate about all the three components. The advantage we have is our team with experience on enterprise technology, blockchain and indept understanding on processes to bring the best adoptions strategies in place for both businesses and their target customers.
