Ice Cream from Qicai Research Institute: Good evening everyone. I am the host of today’s live broadcast. Thank you to all the friends from Qicai Research Institute for meeting us on time. Let us welcome Mercury (head of Ops Chinese community) as a special guest from Ops to visit Qicai Research Institute. Let us enter today’s AMA theme event.

Q1. Host of Qicai Research Institute, Ice Cream: First, please invite Mercury, the head of Ops Chinese Community, to briefly introduce yourself to us?

A1. Guest: Thank you very much, hello all my friends. Thanks for the invitation. I am Mercury from the Ops Chinese community. Today I will share with you the latest news about Ops.

Q2. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: We understand that the Ops social NFT product was launched by the Zero One team. The recently popular Flux protocol of OKExchain and Conflux mainnet, and the Whoops encrypted input method used by bigwigs in the circle were also developed by this team. Could you please give us a brief introduction to the Ops product, as well as the background and experience of the ZeroOne team?

A2. Guest: Ops is a new social microblog in the Web3.0 era created by the Zero One team. Users can NFTize social content by issuing social business cards, and inject liquidity into the Ops ecosystem through NFT. The Ops section is NFT+DeFi, and its main functions include liquidity mining required for user interaction, NFT auction house, and social square, with multiple sections integrating creative social NFT gameplay.

Zero One is an excellent team with great innovative spirit and rich pioneering experience. Most of the core members come from well-known universities, high-tech companies, and industry organizations such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Tencent, and Alibaba. They have rich experience in blockchain R&D technology to ensure the safe and stable operation of the project. In addition to Ops, three products are currently being developed: Flux (DeFi borrowing dai), Whoops (encrypted input method), and Vigoss (algorithm Futures).

Q3. Snowball, host of Qicai Research Institute: We have seen that the concept of NFT social networking has caused a great response in the market recently. So what is the competitiveness of Ops social platform compared with the NFT social tools currently on the market? What advantages make you stand out?

A3. Guest: Currently, a large number of NFT projects focus on assetization and various forms of investment returns, which are attached to various products, such as mining and staking. For Ops, we focus on the user experience in this area, so we will cooperate with various excellent NFT projects in the market in this direction, so that the token economy can benefit every user as much as possible. In terms of development route, Ops will also be committed to forming an NFT alliance, not limited to the NFT sub-sector.

Many friends who are familiar with the Zero One team should know that the team's R&D capabilities are stronger than most projects, and this confidence is there. Every functional detail is repeatedly deliberated. For example, when developing Flux, V2 and V3 were theoretically formed before V1 was finished. We will fully reflect this efficiency in Ops. We plan to complete the update of the third generation of Ops this year, and the technical team is still expanding.

When the first batch of users used Ops for dynamic NFT casting, everyone was extremely excited. This is the first NFT social microblog from the blockchain world. Every user can freely express their opinions and content by casting cards. Celebrities can directly open the mobile app and broadcast the latest passwords in the form of NFTs through the platform. Zero One has always believed that knowledge and information should be fully respected in the blockchain world, and it is necessary to sort them out and transform them into a fully free space. Therefore, in Ops, the pricing of all dynamic NFTs is determined by each creator, which is also a big difference between Ops and other similar products.

Q4. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: You just mentioned that the first batch of users have started to mint NFT dynamics. I believe that besides me, community members are eager to see what it looks like. Can you take screenshots of some NFT dynamics for us to see?

A4. Guests:

Q5. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: As the first NFT social project launched on the ETH chain, what benefits can users get through the Ops social platform?

A5. Guests:

1. Ops is currently in the first round of internal testing. The mining incentive activity will be launched at 20:00 tomorrow, and 50,000 OPS Genesis airdrops will be issued. The airdrops will be collected by the top 2,000 users in terms of revenue after testing mining.

2. Liquidity mining will be launched at the end of July. The first 45 days will be the first mining period, and mining will distribute an additional 2 times of OPS tokens;

3. This week, a donation activity will be held in the TG community through the donation platform https://t.me/Opsops2021. Friends who are quick can take this opportunity to get OPS;

4. The NFT auction house function will be launched soon, and each user can trade the NFT they created dynamically;

5. Enable joint mining of multiple Ops projects, and users can obtain tokens of other projects through OPS;

4. Of course, before the public beta is launched, you can also provide more optimization suggestions during the experience. Our technical guys will read every suggestion carefully, and there will be surprise rewards for the adopted suggestions.

Q6. Qicai Research Institute host Xuegao: What is the threshold for the public to participate in NFT? How to increase participation?

A6. Guest: The distance between the public and blockchain or any emerging industry is natural, and it takes time to narrow it. But we believe that NFT is not so distant. When we read that NFT of artworks has been sold at sky-high prices, it is actually a familiar scene, which makes it easier for us to understand the application of NFT in reality. For example, the traditional auction giant Christie's has also entered NFT, which is an attempt to increase participation.

The Zero One team is preparing for the launch of Ops, which is a combination of an NFT social platform and DeFi. It supports each user to mint their own NFT social business card and sell it at a price. It also supports built-in liquidity mining, and innovates on the basis of traditional blockchain products to bring more convenience to users. I believe that more and more concept and application innovations will mobilize the public's participation in the future.

Q7. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: In terms of investment, how to choose NFT projects? What are the reference standards?

A7. Guest: First, whether the project has intrinsic value, not just speculative nature;

The second is to look at the team’s background and strength, such as whether they have sufficient knowledge of the market and can withstand market fluctuations;

The third is whether the development of the project conforms to the logic of NFT development. For example, whether it can apply the advantages of NFT to improve some industry pain points, such as providing liquidity for real assets.

Q8. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: What do you think about social NFT or social tokens?

A8. Guest: We believe that the development of social NFT is a trend that cannot be underestimated. In this early stage of development, social tokens can derive many applications. For example, many bloggers have issued personal social tokens. For exclusive content and fan groups, this more detailed way can be used to define user browsing permissions; for fans, they can also express their appreciation for someone or their recognition of certain views and information by purchasing tokens, which can also be said to be a symbol of holding certain rights.

On the Ops social Weibo, we use OPS as a symbol of value to express our respect for the NFT social economy, so that every user can experience the charm of Ops through Ops interaction and token holding, and fully enjoy the rights and interests brought by tokens and NFTs.

Q9. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: I would like to ask a question on behalf of many curious friends. In addition to Ops, the Zero One team has several products that have been launched. Is there any special connection between them?

A9. Guest: The several categories of products mentioned at the beginning actually have a very close connection with Ops in economic empowerment.

(1) Flux is a DeFi lending product currently deployed on four chains. It is also the first ecological project on OKExChain and Conflux chains. As well as the upcoming Vigoss, they will provide soil for Ops in terms of deposit, lending, pledge, and LP mining.

(2) Many users hope that their privacy information will be fully protected when using DeFi and NFT products, whether in private or group chats. Whoops encrypted input method is designed to protect everyone. You can experience it by searching Whoops in the Apple & Huawei store;

(3) From the perspective of the community, the communities of the four types of products have a natural affinity in terms of mutual communication and token interoperability. By opening the door of Ops, you can see the other three landscapes.

Q10. Ice Cream, host of Qicai Research Institute: How can the public participate in the ecological construction of OPS?

A10. Guest: Ops is currently in the internal testing mining stage. In the near future, we will provide generous token and equity airdrops to early participating users. At the end of July, the product will be officially launched on iOS and Android for public testing, and incentive activities such as DO and LP mining will be launched at the same time.

Specifically:

1. Ops will launch a mining incentive activity on July 21, issuing 50,000 OPS Genesis airdrops. The airdrops will be collected by the top 2,000 users in terms of revenue after testing mining;

2. Uniswap liquidity mining will be launched at the end of July. The first 45 days will be the first mining period, and mining will distribute an additional 2 times of OPS tokens;

3. This week, a donation activity will be held in the TG community through the donation platform https://t.me/Opsops2021. Those who are quick can take this opportunity to get OPS;

4. The NFT auction house function will be opened soon, and each user can dynamically price and trade the NFTs they create;

5. Enable joint mining of multiple Ops projects. Users can obtain value tokens of other projects through OPS;

6. Please provide more optimization suggestions during the experience. Our technical team will read each suggestion carefully, and there will be surprise rewards for adopted suggestions.
