Q. What makes TRACER different from competitors? What are the competitive advantages of TRACER?

A. While there are number of great projects out there in the market, there are several points that we think we differ from others.

1. Composable NFT

   All NFT shoes are composable. You can mix-n-match different shoe parts of different shapes, colors, and textures and make a unique shoe of your own. We believe this is the real generative NFTs, generated on our users’ hands.

   

   

2. No More NFT Breeding

   TRACER does not allow NFT breeding. Breeding induces the uncontrollable hyper-supply of NFTs, which leads to hyperinflation. In the early stage, new user influx rate(=demand) is bigger than the market supply which makes NFT price to increase. Then users breed NFT shoes using utility tokens to make arbitrage profit(market price > breeding cost).

   But when the new user influx rate decreases due to any reasons such as bear market or upper cap of potential users, demand decreases and the excess supply made by breeding cannot be controlled. This makes a crucial death spiral.

   Additionally, in the case of StepN, 1 NFT price equals to 200 tokens(since it takes 200 tokens to breed), which makes NFT-Token value coupling. This is why TRACER does not allow breeding NFTs, but collateralize real world assets to NFTs.

3. Artist, IP, Brand, NFT Collab Shoes

   So How do we meet the needs of more demand without Breeding? TRACER regularly supply new shoes by minting new collections according to the demand. The regularly happening new shoe minting happens every 2 or 4 week period.

   

   This makes us to create more opportunities in the NFT market. Therefore, we are able to create limited edition NFT shoes. If breeding existed, we could’ve lost this precious opportunity. We are looking to start IP collab with CC0 projects, brands, IPs,…etc. So if there are any great IPs for us to collab, let us know and give us suggestions. Keep an eye on us!

4. Free-to-play(F2P) mode

   TRACER makes mass adoption by Free-to-Play mode. Users do not have to buy NFT shoes to earn tokens. Instead, users can watch advertisements and walk or run to earn tokens. (But the amount wouldn't be so much compared to users who have NFTs.) We're trying to onboard as many Web2 users as possible.

   TRACER is planning to use all the advertisement revenue as a collateral to our utility token $TRC. Besides advertisement, we are planning to make another web2 BM, which is insurance profit. We connect users to insurance agents or companies with the consent of users. The users who agree to share data with us, will earn 5x tokens(not fixed yet) and this profit will also be 100% used as collateral to our $TRC.

5. Multiple features making deflationary tokenomics

   TRACER focuses on the ‘real utility’ of our utility token $TRC. Most of the burning mechanics of utility tokens in M2Es are for future ROI and this makes a gradual inflation. This is why ‘useful’ usage, or in other words, pure burning mechanics is so important for deflation. TRACER’s utility tokens will be used and burned for the pure and useful objectives to maintain deflationary tokenomics as followed**:**

   1. Using tokens to participate in multiple game mode
   • Tier System
   • Land MONOPOLY
   • Challenge mode
   • LOCAL COMMUNITY based team battle mode

   2. Using tokens to buy HEXA-LAND

   3. Using tokens to buy and attach accessories

   4. Using tokens to buy real world items

Q2. Can you tell us more about the energy scaling and limit of spark? How to increase the spark?

A. Spark will increase when you have more shoes. The amount of spark differs according to the amount of shoes users have, from 1 to 30 shoes.

Q3. Do you have any plans about multi-chain?

A. TRACER is going to support multi-chain. To be the most sustainable and successful Move-n-Earn, TRACER believes that multi-chain support is mandatory.

We are starting our multi-chain support starting with Polygon, earlier than NEAR Protocol.

Here are the main reasons.

1. NEAR chain does not yet support native USDC, USDT.

Most users would want to swap TRC to USDT, USDC while NEAR yet does not support native USDC, USDT. Which means users cannot send USDC USDT to Binance etc on NEAR chain. Therefore, we first start with POLYGON, which supports native USDC USDT.

2. NFT Marketplace

NEAR has Paras and Few&Far. However, Paras is not suitable for composable NFTs and Few&Far was released last month. Both are great markets, but still have low volume. But Polygon NFTs are supported by the largest NFT markets, OpenSea and OnePlanet (9/6 release).

We do not want to force our users to create a new wallet just for TRACER and use a new marketplace that makes users to experience new UX, is also a hurdle for new users to onboard. Opensea is the No.1 marketplace and OnePlanet was TERRA's No.1 marketplace (we are both brothers from TERRA) Please look forward to the co-marketing event with OnePlanet on 9/4, TRACER DAY.

TRACER will also be starred as on of the Top 5 Rising Bluechip NFT on Polygon during the AMA of OnePlanet X Polygon Studios on 9/7. AMA will be co-hosted by Polygon Studios and OnePlanet, in Polygon Studio account's Twitter Space.

We are officially announing partnership with OnePlanet.
