Breaking the knowledge limits — From blockchain socialization to knowledge sharing
About 70,000 years ago, there were about 6–10 human genus species on the earth, but now only Homo sapiens remained. It is stated that in the Netherlands at that time other species were physically stronger than Homo sapiens, but why did Homo sapiens defeat other species and stayed till these days? The key difference is that Homo sapiens have the ability to form groups and collaborate in activities. A group of Homo sapiens who knows how to communicate and cooperate can defeat a stronger individual directly by force or indirectly by controlling scarce resources. This can be recognized as the “social scalability”, which is also part of the evolutionary process of Homo sapiens. It continuously increases the number of critical operations.
Now, the production of various innovative technologies has reduced people’s cognitive costs, so that people no longer have to spend too much time on these kinds of operations. For example, when you buy juice from a store, you don’t have to worry about the juice being poisoned or spoiled, because there are a series of technological and social innovations that inspire suppliers to provide safe products. The double-entry bookkeeping method of blockchain technology is also an emerging technology that enhances people’s coordination ability by allowing us to trust others.
Today, we will try to conceive a technical solution that uses blockchain social networking as the underlying infrastructure to support multi-party knowledge collaboration. This time, please we invited Principles Alex Bourtskiy
Q1. Blockchain technology is considered to be a new generation of revolutionary and disruptive Internet technology. After its rise, it has been paid attention to and tried to be used by all walks of life. Why does the social field need to use blockchain technology? @iME
A1. iMe: In iMe, we don’t use blockchain technology in transmitting or storing the data or messages, but we have integrated chains to allow our users manage crypto in a double click upon our messaging platform. No need to worry about private keys, just send and swap crypto by a Telegram handle. Thus we bring DeFi to the mass social adoption and make its usage easy and safe. Blockchain technology today is a part of everyone’s life, especially for the young and progressive. What we did — we united the most advanced messenger and a full-fledged crypto wallet with DeFi tools to give people an easy start for a daily usage of blockchain.
Q2. Social platforms can be said to be the main mode for young people to make friends, work and study. Although there are already a lot of blockchain + social platforms in the market, the existing blockchain social platforms do not seem to be perfect, and they are not perfect enough to replace existing social apps. So, do iMe have any innovative solutions?@iME
A2. iMe: iMe serves as a kind of a gateway for people to the blockchain world. We took the safest environment of Telegram with more than 0.5 billion users and with Telegram’s API created a client with the extended functionality like a translator in chats, voice to text, cloud storage, etc., together with a Crypto Wallet DeFi functionality. So up to now, it’s one of the most superb messaging platforms with no safety issues. All the messaging data is proceeded through the Telegram servers and the Wallet keys and info are stored on a user’s device only. Our key goal is to provide a user-friendly and safe interface to allow not only crypto-addicted users but also newbies in the sphere to merge into the crypto community without extra efforts.
Q3. Currently, social applications are seriously homogenized, and have no perfect trust mechanisms, and also cannot guarantee the users’ privacy and security. How can iMe solve the above problems?@iME
A3. iMe: As it was mentioned in the previous question, iMe is developed on the Telegram API and Telegram is being known as the most secure messaging platform existing today as it is. That’s why we fully ensure privacy and other safety aspects are totally secured by the Telegram standards. As regards our crypto wallet safety, all data is encrypted. Moreover, to access the wallet, users need to enter a PIN code to provide additional encryption of all valuable information. iMe and its team can’t get any info contained in a wallet as we don’t have access to private keys and only a users’ device has the necessary pick locks to it. Therefore, using and storing your crypto in our wallets is safe for everybody. Applying the iMe platform is as secure as using the Telegram messenger.
Q4. As it was mentioned above, centralized databases continue to collect and analyze user’s information, occupy data sovereignty, and then build wealth collection tools to harvest wealth for users. What do you think about it, and are there any updates? @Epik
A4. Epik: The goal of Mingshi Protocol is to use blockchain technology to store AI data forever. It divides AI data into two categories. One of them is “statistical data”. It stands for usage information and tracing data of ordinary individual users on various platforms. A single person or a small amount of data has less value. However, the massive data of a large number of users has amazing commercial value, allowing AI to understand users better; the other type is “knowledge data”, which has refined rules, common sense, knowledge graphs, and etc. “Statistical data” is dross, but the amount of data is huge, which still contains opportunities. “Knowledge data” is the essence that can be directly used by AI. The Mingzhi Protocol is mainly dedicated to storing “knowledge data”, which will directly become the infrastructure for the future upper-level AI applications, and it is impossible to collect and unintentionally store various users’ information. However, the conclusions or observations will be extracted from a large amount of “statistical data”, such as user behavior habits, sales data trends, market research, and etc. It will all belong to the scope of interest of the Mingzhi agreement, and can be stored in Mingzhi network. Therefore, you can say that the Mingshi Protocol pays more attention to high-value and long-term value user data. These data are worth passing on and are in line with the original intention of the Mingzhi Agreement.
Q5. On the basis of users, what kind of new collaboration relationship does Mingshi Protocol build to create a decentralized, safe and credible knowledge graph collaboration platform? And allow community users to actively participate in it?@Epik
A5. Epik: The knowledge graph platform created by “Mingzhi Agreement” is mainly composed of domain experts and bounty fans (hunters). Domain experts in this platform are highly recommended experts from various fields. All these experts will be gathered in the community. After obtaining the domain expert status recognized by the community, domain name experts can start to build the knowledge graph framework and publish tasks to the “Knowledge” platform. The community can fill the knowledge graph; and, the domain experts will review the content contributed by the community and will be responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data. The data that will pass the review can be packaged and stored for permanent storage on the chain. The bounty fans can accomplish tasks on the “Knowledge”, and earn points.
Both domain experts and bounty hunters come from the community. Domain experts have certain expertise, have certain social prestige, and are responsible for the data. If you upload junk data, the community will vote to disqualify the domain expert. Bounty hunters are ordinary users in the community who can participate, but ordinary users also need to be responsible for their own actions and must “answer questions” carefully. Each question needs to be confirmed by more than ten users. Random answers will be punished by reducing the points. Through the above process of community governance and supervision, the autonomy and credibility of the community collaboration platform will be realized.
Q6. In the long run, due to the rapid development of high technology such as AI, big data, 5G and the implementation of urgent needs, the rigid demand for explosive data storage scenarios is increasing exponentially. Compared with Google’s knowledge graph system and data storage, what are the inheritance and innovation of the advocated technology products? @Epik
A6.Epik: A) EpiK is open source and autonomous, and has long-term vitality. The company can go bankrupt and the company’s project may be cut off, but the open source community will always exist, as long as the community has a mechanism to maintain its vitality.
B) EpiK’s efficient collaboration platform costs extremely low to obtain knowledge graphs
C) EpiK has high data quality and a small amount of data on the chain. The distributed storage mode can even store data on the end side, which greatly improves the speed of future data access, thereby improving the response speed of upper-level AI applications
Q7. In the future, is it possible for iMe and Epik to cooperate?
A7. iME: Yes, we are open to new corporations and partnerships with credible and ambitious projects and ventures. So if iMe users see a new token integration to the iMe wallet, they can be sure this token is either our partner’s approved crypto asset or one of a carefully selected project the token of which will be interesting to our community. That is the reason why they appear in iMe. All projects and tokens need to pass a certain audit made by our team to eliminate any possibility of adding a doubtful asset. So we can’t see any obstacles to start a cooperation with the Epik project in the future.
Epik: I think iME and Epik can be a good combination. On the one hand, there will be many AI robots on ime in the future, which can directly call the domain knowledge stored in Epik to provide users with accurate answers, greatly improving the use value and user experience of ime; On the other hand, a large number of users’ data on ime can also form a lot of domain knowledge through the combination of artificial and AI, which can be stored on the Epik chain, taken from the community and used in the community.
三、Live Q&A
1) Can I know more about the iME native token? What utilities can LIME offer to the community? @iME
iME: LIME is an Ethereum token of ec20 standard, soon there is going to be a Binance Smart Chain bridge implemented for the bep20 standard. In total, one billion LIME tokens were issued. LIME is listed on Uniswap, Gate.io, and Bilaxy exchanges. all the information about the smart contract and other details you can find in the post https://t.me/ime_en/141
LIME may be used as payment for some advanced features and partner’s functionality that is going to be integrated into iMe in the future. Besides, users can get a lifelong subscription to and privileges for using a certain feature only by having one LIME in their accounts. Those having a positive LIME balance will have the opportunity to apply Binance Smart Chain, Pancake, as well as Polkadot, 1inch, and other DEXs that will be soon added to iMe.
We also want to introduce the DAO concept of the iMe ecosystem in the future which means that LIME holders will have a permanent right to vote for or against different points on project development.
Among other utilities, there’ll be a Tier system based on the number of LIME in users’ accounts. Tier 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Why get involved in the Tier system? Members of Tiers will also have advantages like, for example, when the functionality to participate in an IDO of a project right from our app is implemented, members of Tiers will get whitelisted among the first. We’re also launching the Staking program pretty soon, so by holding a certain amount of LIME you may get a percentage of the partner tokens or a reward in BUSD. A platform for testers will be also implemented in iMe, each participant who searches for and fixes bugs will get rewarded in LIME.
Lime has been designed to be a cryptocurrency that will have an evolving set of use cases, depending upon the evolution of the platform.
2) I heard iME will start a Staking program very soon. Tell me more about the program and what I can get from it？@iME
iME: Yes, this functionality will become available in the near future. Any LIME holder can participate in our Staking Program and get rewarded in BUSD bep20. Staking will be available for periods from 1 to 12 months with a different percentage rate of the reward they may get. When joining the Staking program, users will make deposits for 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc (12 months max) and get a monthly reward in BUSD. We will also create pools with partners’ tokens to reward participants of the program with their tokens. After the chosen period is over, all LIME that were allotted to the program by a user and locked on the iMe escrow account for the chosen period of time will be returned. The functionality that is necessary to participate in the program will be available only in the iMe app. Soon, there’ll be more detailed information about the program and participation in it. Please check our official channels for the announcement of the start of the program.
3) It’s interesting to learn your closest plans and have a look at your roadmap. Can you please tell me about iMe plans?@iME
A3. The closest must-do for the summer can be found on our Twitter and Telegram channels. In short, the list includes the implementation of the EVM/BSC bridge for Lime, launch of our Staking program, possibility to switch between erc20 and bep20 networks, Binance Pay integration, and others.
Regarding our long-term plans, you may look at our roadmap to have a better vision of what we are going to build. By 2022, we plan to increase our user base by 5 times. What concerns communication features of iMe, we are expecting the upgraded Neurobots and improved channels managing tools to come out soon.
4)How do you introduce Epik Games to users? Do you have a strategy for educating non-Crypto users or gamers?@Epik
A4. Epik: We aren’t producing games ourselves. We are working with mainstream games to help them provide NFTs for their users in their games. Users won’t need to know the underlying technology to participate and have fun.
5) Can you tell us what are the biggest differences between you and other gaming + NFT platforms? What is the special thing about the way that you work?@Epik
A5. Epik: Epik is a leading digital licensing agency. which means we have unparalleled access to brands and IP，this means unlmited supply of ‘content’ to create original NFT and items
b) we are B2B, which means we can collaborate with everyone.
6) As a NFT marketplace, what does Epik Prime have to offer to owners of NFTs that can’t be found in the countless competitors in the field? How will you attract them?@Epik
A6. Epik: This is a great question. Epik works WITH other crypto NFT platforms/marketplaces and works WITH mainstream games. We are not competition. We collaborate. If they need brands and IP, they can come to Epik， Because Epik is also a digital licensing agent. We help companies big and small get brands. for example, Tencent is our client
