In this AMA Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.

Part 1 — introduction and questions from the Website

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Hello Satoshi Club! We are happy to announce our AMA session with GG Dapp! Welcome to Satoshi Club

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Hello, dear Satoshi Clubbers and GG Dapp!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Today our guest is @Migueldgomes!

Miguel:
Hello Satoshi Club! Great to be here, thanks for the invite!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Welcome to Satoshi Club @Migueldgomes!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Hi, Miguel! Happy to see you here! How’s going?

Miguel:
Hi all! Great, thank you! Once again thanks for the invite to be here, a great community!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
To begin with, please tell us a few words about yourselves and how did you get to be involved in crypto and GG Dapp.

Miguel:
Sure, so I’m a computer engineer and avid gamer from Lisbon, Portugal, and the co-founder of Tokenwised, a startup focused on blockchain gaming/gamification. I’m also the founder of the GGDapp project. I’ve been working in Blockchain since 2018, began in a startup in Berlin, and was later invited to lead a new Blockchain team in a Portuguese tech company.

Miguel:
Last year I decided to focus on my own projects and start Tokenwised with a friend and ex-colleague.

Miguel:
We’re based in Lisbon, Portugal

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Nice place

all team members are from Portugal?

Miguel:
3 from them are, one is from Greece, but living in Berlin

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Got it! Does everyone have experience in the game industry as I understand?

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
International team

Miguel:
Yes, as I said I’m a computer engineer and I’m working in blockchain since 2018, then we have Carlos, our full-stack engineer, Apostolos focused on the business part who also worked with me in a blockchain startup, and finally Hugo who is our gamer ‘evangelist’ (lots of connections in the gaming world).

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
So.. What is this project GG Dapp? What goals and objectives do you set for yourself?

Miguel: GG Dapp is an upcoming blockchain gaming platform, and DeFi ecosystem, that rewards all who help a game to be a success: Players, Developers, and Liquidity Providers. All these 3 actors can earn our GG Token ($GGTK) and then stake it to earn more and buy gaming NFTs with it.

In the beginning, we will integrate our own games/gaming platforms, all with the focus on NFTs and play-to-earn model, but it will be open to external games too. It’s based on the Ethereum and also using Matic L2 sidechain (Matic is one of our partners).

We’re already developing 2 gaming projects, one of them is Pirates 2048, a retro/futuristic pirate ship battle game, inspired in Waterworld — Beta here: https://pirates2048.com

The other is Simthunder by SimracerCoin, a sim racing assets marketplace and management game — https://simracercoin.org — that we are developing in partnership with Cartesi. Later this year will start a 3rd one, a futuristic soccer manager.

Don’t forget to check it all on our site — https://ggdapp.com

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Of course! You’re in beta, as I see or I am wrong?

Miguel:
One of our games yes, Pirates 2048, one of the first 2 that will be integrated. GG Dapp will feature our games but will also be open to external ones.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for sharing

Do you have many partners? If this is not a top-secret of course

Miguel:
Yes we’re partnered in Polygon (Matic) both in the development of Pirates 2048 and GG Dapp itself, we’re partnered with Cartesi in the development of Simthunder marketplace and game and we’re also working with Arkane testing their NFT marketplace and will use their onboarding system too.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks a lot for the intro!

Are you ready to proceed to the questions from Satoshi Club community?

Miguel:
You’re welcome! Yes, sure

Q1 from Telegram user @wahibur04
I encountered several projects that were almost the same, with game backgrounds, and some even gave prizes to players who either lost or won. So what’s really special here, that players and investors will choose GG Dapp?

Miguel:
In our case we want more, we want to build a gaming ecosystem that not only rewards players but also the developers and investors (liquidity providers).

Liquidity Providers (LP’s) will be rewarded with GGTK when they contribute to the liquidity pools.

Developers will have access to a player engagement mechanism that will allow them to promote their game. In addition, they will be rewarded with GGTK from their game activity.

And gamers will be rewarded for their time and skills.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Do you have any program for game developers who want to join your platform?

Miguel:
We will have it once the platform is fully developed. At the moment our focus is to finish the first 2 gaming integrations and the GG Dapp itself.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Got it! Btw, will your beta users get rewarded?

Miguel:
External developers will be able to integrate their games into the ecosystem and get rewarded with GGTK for their game activity

Yes, at the moment, for the Pirates 2048 Beta testers we are doing tournaments with prizes.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Great! So, it’s not too late to join?

Miguel:
Of course not, it’s very early indeed, we are still a small community and we’re really excited about what we’re building and what’s coming

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Satoshiclubbers

you still have a chance

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Thanks for your answers! Do you want to add something, or can we proceed to the next question?

Miguel:
Also being part of Matic and Cartesi ecosystem gives us a great opportunity.

We can proceed

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Sure

it’s a real pleasure

Q2 from Telegram user @stevefix56
GG DAPP program talks about rewarding users through tokenizing and selling of your gaming achievements. Will this apply to all GG Dapp gaming platforms like the soccer manager. How are these achievements quantified to attract buyers? Looking at the arrival of your soccer manager, what are the possible features expected to yield more rewards for users?

Miguel:
At the core of all our games will be the crypto-collectibles, the NFT that you will be able to earn. Besides that, you’ll be able to earn each game crypto will playing and then stake it to earn GGTK. This GGTK can then also be staked to earn from all the games in the ecosystem, a kind of revenue-sharing economy.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Will these NFTs be available for trading? If yes, where?

Miguel:
Regarding the soccer manager, it will be interesting and different from others because it will also be futuristic, of course, there will be the collectible player NFTs and some interesting features that we can’t reveal yet

Miguel:
Yes, of course, you’ll be able to trade our NFTs in the existent marketplaces, like OpenSea and later we plan to also have our own marketplace.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Good plans, do they included in your roadmap?

Miguel:
Yes, most of what I mentioned is in the roadmap, except the soccer manager. We plan to do a pre-sale this year but still not sure about the launch date yet.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Do you already have a ready nft? Share with us, please!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Why? Almost all projects in a hurry to launch as soon as possible

Miguel:
Yes we do have but still in Matic (Polygon) testnet, soon we’ll have them in production

Miguel:
Both in Ethereum main and Matic.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Please don’t forget to show Satoshi to Clubbers!

Miguel:
The first NFTs will be from our game Pirates 2048.

Miguel:
And will be the pirate characters and pieces of art from the survivors.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
We are excited to see it! Hope it will be possible soon

Miguel:
Yes very soon I can tell you

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ok

Ready to proceed?

Miguel:
Sure!

Q3 from Telegram user @Arisabela
There’s a special topic on your website about receiving passive incomes more than banking deposits without intermediaries, how exactly will the users be able to have a passive entry of tokens, and can these incomes be withdrawn at any time?

Miguel:
I guess the user it’s referring to the staking system. Using GG Dapp staking system you will be able to stake your GG Tokens (GGTK) to earn from all the games and gaming platforms that will be part of the ecosystem.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
To stake users will have to deposit Tokens on your platform, right?

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
What is the best pool for today?

Miguel:
And yes they can be withdrawn at any time.

Miguel:
Yes, they will have to deposit their GGTK in the platform and then the earnings from all the games are distributed between all the members of the pool, according to their percentages.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
What about your platform safety?

Miguel:
The best one must be GGTK Uniswap pool

https://info.uniswap.org/token/0xfa99a87b14b02e2240c79240c5a20f945ca5ef76

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
What period for unstake?

Miguel:
We’re using pre-audited smart contracts whenever is possible and for all the others we will request an audit before moving them to production.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Gotcha! We will wait for a full audit

Miguel:
That will still be decided.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Everything is clear to me! ready for the next question?

Miguel:
Yes, let’s do it

Q4 from Telegram user @lzamg
One of the goals of GG Dapp is to make the platform accessible for non-crypto users, but can you explain exactly how you will accomplish that? What are you going to do differently from other gaming platforms that attract more non-crypto users and make the project more understandable for them?

Miguel:
First, we will focus on simple but fun game formats and make the onboarding as easy as possible for non-crypto users. We’re already exploring solutions like Arkane — https://arkane.network/ — to accomplish that, for example enabling users to login from their social networks if they prefer, in the case they are not used to deal with crypto wallets and so on.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Is it possible to play games on phones or just using laptop?

Miguel:
Also, we will put a lot of attention on all of our games UX so it’s easy to use and understandable for all, especially the non-crypto users.

Miguel:
Right now our early Beta that is available in the case of Pirates 2048 is possible to play using laptop. Using mobile is possible too but it’s not optimized at all yet for that, I wouldn’t recommend

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Understand

Miguel:
But yes we want to also put a focus in mobile, in all our games.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Yes, this should bring your more users

Miguel:
Yes for sure!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Is there a full-fledged mobile app for games planned?

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
In future

Miguel:
Yes, the plan is to optimize GG Dapp and its games both for desktop and mobile.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Great plan!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ready for the next question or you want to add something?

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
And we, according to the plan, can move on to the next question.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:

Miguel:
Yes, sure let’s go

Q5 from Telegram user @Pratze
Could you explain more about GGTK / GG token, what is the use of GGTK in your gaming platform? How about tokenomic and where we can get GGTK?

Miguel:
Sure, so GG Token ($GGTK) is the token of the GG Dapp and its ecosystem. We will have a Rewards Mechanism that will distribute GGTK for the players, for their skills and time, and for developers, for their gaming activity.

To keep it simple, in this rewards system, we will adopt a similar model to Bitcoin rewards, with a total of 21 million GGTK available. Every 10 minutes there will be a new block containing all new information, including transactions and rewards, and initially 50 GGTK will be distributed. Every 210,000 blocks, or roughly every four years, the total number of GGTK users of GG DApp can potentially win is halved.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Ahaha, you decided to simplify

it’s simple and genius model

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Lol

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Where it will be listed first?

Miguel:
Regarding other tokenomics there is a total supply of 46.8 million GGTK, 93% of them are time-locked at the moment and we have a circulating supply of about 3 million.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
You are not only a dreamer, as it is written on your website, Miguel, but also a genius

Miguel:
It’s already listed

we did a pre-sale in December where we raised 700 ETH and after it was listed in Uniswap — https://info.uniswap.org/token/0xfa99a87b14b02e2240c79240c5a20f945ca5ef76

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Sweet model, we like limited numbers

Miguel:
Ahaha thank you very much!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Wow, great! So, everyone can own it now!

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
I really like the way your team is presented on your site! Btw

Miguel:
Indeed!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
And we came to the 6th and last question from this part? Ready to start with it?

Miguel:
Thank you!

Q6 from Telegram user @AmirJosh
Can you give us an update on Simthunder Marketplace that you are developing in partnership with Cartesi. You are planning to release the Beta version this February right? Are we able to test the beta version or it is just for limited participants only?

Miguel:
By the way, besides Uniswap we will also map the token in Matic so you can trade it paying lower gas fees, and later in CEXs too.

Gold Rocket | Satoshi Club:
Sounds good

Miguel:
Regarding Simthunder we’re in the final stages of Cartesi Dapp Incubation program (by the way the grant voting round started today — https://twitter.com/gitcoin/status/1362118864880865281?s=20) and we expect to have a testable Beta in Q1, more expectable in March.

Mary | Satoshi Club:
March will be a hot month for GG Dapp

Miguel:
Oh yeah!

Mary | Satoshi Club:
Thank you for your answers, Miguel! I know in which place will be hot now

Miguel:
You’re welcome Mary

Part 2 — live questions from the Telegram community

Q1 from Telegram user @highpee
You have said that the Pirates 2048 Beta testers are currently opened and there are tournament prizes that are up for grabs. How can I join the beta testers and what will it cost to become one?

Miguel:
Hi there! Yes it’s open and you’re welcome to join our Pirates 2048 Discord server and stay tuned for the next tournament: https://discord.com/invite/Keuj2uP

Has no cost at all, and we usually do airdrops for the participants!

Q2 from Telegram user @IsabellaIsla
Can you explain to me a bit how GG DAPP works so as not to affect the UX and thus have a perfect integration without decreasing latency and FPS? What type of Metatransactions do you use to avoid new concepts for users?

Miguel:
As we told we have a big focus on the UX and that’s why we’re using Etherereum L2 solution Polygon (Matic) to enable the use of metatransactions. That means for the users not paying fees for most of the transactions happening, or very low ones and also much faster.

Q3 from Telegram user @KevSalom
GG DApp has a lot of work ahead, but I would like you to tell us what you are currently working on Finishing or developing new games? Expanding to other latitudes or languages? Platform security? Do you have an official release date for any game?

Miguel:
Our focus now is to finish our first 2 integrations, Pirates 2048 and Simthunder by SimracerCoin, and then develop GG Dapp itself integrating these 2. Until then we’re also working on steadily growing our community and exposure.

Q4 from Telegram user @RosemaryBianco
GGDApp on their website indicates the following most common problems:
-Development of indie games with a limited budget.
-Paid games.
–Announcements in the game.

How has GGdapp managed to combat and solve all these problems?

Miguel:
Yes, our target in terms of external games is indie game developers who, by joining our ecosystem will benefit from an existing user base. Also, they will be able to earn from all the ecosystem and so don’t need to our advertisement in-game. Finally, our games will always have free options and our focus is the Play-to-earn model where you earn from your skill and time.

Q5 from Telegram user @cryptoflower13
Will the NFT of all the games developed in GG DApp be available for sale in Open Sea or any other NFT marketplace?

Miguel:
From our games yes, from the external games that can be integrated we can’t tell but ideally yes

Q6 from Telegram user @Nickkiii
You updated $GGTK tokenomics recently, can you tell us what changes were made from the older tokenomics?

Miguel:
The update in the tokenomics was to reflect the most recent token lock done, which brings the total amount of tokens locked to 93% in a period from 3 to 60 months: https://ggdapp.medium.com/ggtk-tokenomics-updated-fe9bd8993f7c

Q7 from Telegram user @leixagarcia
Apart from Pirates 2048 and Simrancer Coin, do you plan to develop any other game this year? Can you give us a preview?

Miguel:
We plan to do a pre-sale of the soccer manager game as mentioned before and we would like to have it available this year but we can’t commit to it yet. We’re in the process of growing the developer team and it depends on that.

Q8 from Telegram user @tuvalunia
What are the advantages of becoming an early adopter?

Miguel:
We’re still a small community but we have great partners like Polygon (Matic) and Cartesi and we believe 2021 will be great for gaming/NFTs so I believe is a good and early time to join us

Q9 from Telegram user @KevSalom
I noticed that you are currently developing two games but each with different partners, one with Matic and one with Cartesi, why is this, will each game require specific features from those projects, or what really? I would also like to know if each game you develop will be with a different partner, or will you continue to work with the two of them on all your projects?

Miguel:
Matic and Cartesi also cooperate themselves, their projects have different scopes, we can use the advantages of both in our projects. Matic for fast and lower cost transactions, Cartesi for complex computations outside the smart contracts. Besides the tech benefits, it’s also great to be part of their communities.

Q10 from Telegram user @Xusuo
How about esport? Does GG Dapp plan to reach gaming esport? Do you have other development for GG Dapp in the future?

Miguel:
We’re already reaching one of the fastest-growing eSports: sim racing

Simthunder will be the first decentralized marketplace for sim racers (players of virtual motorsports) where they will be able to sell relevant files related to sim racing and also NFTs representing virtual car ownership and their parts too. We’re also developing a parallel management game that will make private league racing even more fun, where besides driving you must manage the (crypto) budget of a racing team.

Part 3 — Quiz Results

In the final part, we tested your knowledge in terms of GG Dapp. They’ve prepared 4 questions for this part. The total reward pool for the quiz was 400$.
