6. How will your project generate profits/income to sustain your project and what is the revenue model?

This is a very good question!

Regarding to REVENUE STREAM, Fist phase of project launch: Revenue comes from NFT selling, Market Making, Transaction fees. The 2nd phase of project growth: limited NFTs with Sport Band free shipping worldwide, Smart Watch product that integrates WingStep and NFT apps.

About REVENUE DISTRIBUTION, 80% of the revenue used for the project’s  Finance activities , 10% for Marketing activities, 10% for development team.

You can get a better idea from the following diagram:

7. I saw that you mentioned the Staking Program on your roadmap. Can you share more about it?

Thank you for asking!

The advantage of DEFI ecosystem created by WingStep itself allows anyone to earn passive income using the Decentralized Zones we create on the platform.  Therefore, besides Move To Earn, users can also HOLD tokens when earned in this area or do not need Move but can invest in Lazy Zone to receive passive income safely.

So why leave your assets idle when you can let them pay off? Unlike other DEFI projects that are unstable and lack off security, at WingStep users can safely invest and earn profits through secure and distributed protocols on the WEB3 platform.

There are 3 basic DEFI zones:

1. Big Man is the WST main token staking area of the project to receive interest in USDT and WST. (%USDT will be calculated based on the reference price of WSS tokens at the time of staking termination) When you stake WST with an amount of a different range in 3 months, you will have an interest rate from 35% to 80%.

2. Fat Man is the NFT staking area to receive WSS tokens. Interest % is calculated on the total value of NFTs put into staking. ((NFT value is based on the selling price of that NFT at the time of participating in staking). With the amount of 1 to 10 NFTs staked in 3 months, you will receive the interest rate from 30% to 100%.

3. Fleshy Man is a farming area that can lock WST/WSS tokens to receive interest = 50% of Big Man area but have a chance to get more Secret Box and NFT sneakers.

You can read more details in here: https://whitepaper.wingstep.io/gamefi-system/defi-zone#1-big-man

8. Tell us more about your NFTs and how they are utilized in the game?

When you own NFT Sneakers and by walking, running and exercising, you will earn crypto and other NFTs in the game play, the items earned can be used for in-game activities or cashed out for profit.

In WingStep, NFT Sneakers are 5 levels of rarity: Trial; Special; Unique; Noble; Universe. And each has its different stats that determine its performance and productivity. The higher the rarity and the stats are, the more you earn.

You could see details of our NFT Sneaker through website and whitepaper: https://whitepaper.wingstep.io/gamefi-system/nft-sneaker

9. What are your future plan and event to make this NFT more valuable?

Of course we have. The current value of NFTs is to give you an extra incentive to own and use during your workout. However, in later stages of development, WingStep shoes will be used to participate in other sports activities such as Cycling, Gym, Golf, Tennis. And you know, to participate in so many activities, the price of NFT has to go up.

And according to our roadmap, in the future we will have a plan to cooperate with other famous brands, which will also help increase the value of NFT. For example: Introduce limited NFTs with Sport Band free shipping worldwide; Negotiate with Xiaomi about tracking sensors attached to Sneaker to collab produce WingStep Smart Shoe products, etc.

We understand your concerns about owning an NFT Sneaker, and we have a plan in place for them.

10. Move-to-earn is trending in the crypto market, so does WingStep have any anti-cheat mechanism?

This is also an element that we pay great attention to. To track your workout, we have developed an in-app tracker where the user has to start and end the activity manually. We will use GPS, motion sensor and gyroscope to accurately track your activity data. In the upgraded version users when using sport bands or smart watches can receive better rewards.

In the beta of the app, we will be launching the following activities: Running; Jogging; Step Counting. And those actions must be done outdoors for the purpose of better GPS connection.

After a workout, we'll show you data on: Distance Steps, speed, workout time, calories burned and rewards...

Live Questions Round

1. Are you going to list token on other exchange?

WST token will be listed on Pancakeswap on June 11th, 2022.

We are working with other centralized exchanges as well. The detail will be revealed soon on our official channels.

2.    What are your thoughts on inflation? Many gamefi struggled with this issue and eventually failed. How will Wingstep handle this?

It is true that fighting token inflation is a very important factor in deciding whether this GameFi will go with users in the long run. In fact, WingStep already has a plan for this through token buring; token staking and token usage.

Kindly find other information via our litepaper here: https://wingstep.io/litepaper/

3. What major milestones has WingStep achieved so far?

Since the beginning of our operation, we have released alpha testnet. This version is currently being experienced by the WingStep community as well as the Move-to-earn enthusiast community. Up to now, our Telegram community has reached more than 80k members, twitter followers also have more than 23k people. This encouraged us a lot.

In addition, beside the partnership with BinStarter we have also established strategic partnerships with BSCSstation, BSClaunch, KingdomStarter, NFTb, DareNFT, BinStarter, FAM Central; and media partnership with CoinLAB; Redhood,... We appreciate these relationships, and hope that these cooperation will contribute to the development of both sides.

4. Many projects are unstable for a period of time. First AT, they Started with hard work & good care, after few months later they didn't pay attention to this project, then ended up there, How is #WingStep planning to stay in the market?

I think this is a question that will not have a correct answer 😅 Wingstep team had put our heart in the project from the beginning, that's why we create Wingstep so different. There are no words or promises that could satisfy anyone who dont want to believe in Wingstep, we can only prove our devotion to the project by action.

5. One of the problems faced by NFT games is that many investors who buy NFT do not have enough time to play and the players who really want to play do not have the necessary capital. How does #WingStep solve this problem so that you both participate and profit?

Wingstep have a earning model called "Lazy to earn", is a defi zone where you can buy NFTs and stake to earn more. So if you a sneakers collector or an investor, you can buy as many NFTs as you want and stake them to "Fat man" zone in Wingstep de-fi ecosystem.
